Doutora em Transporte - PhD in Transportation
Brasília, Distrito Federal
The research has two stages, the first being quantitative and the second qualitative. The case study, in the cities of Brasilia and Lisbon, explores the extent to which sociocultural issues, infrastructure issues, and public safety issues influence women's walking. The objective of the study was to compare the behavior in the daily walking of women, as well as to develop a fear walkability index in both cities. Starting from the hypothesis that the construction of cities that present traditional solutions of mobility and urban planning is extremely oppressive to the woman in its displacements. Constrained in the choice of its walking path and limited to occupy public spaces, by having to fulfill a social and cultural role attributed to it in society, it is encouraged and strengthened to develop feelings of vulnerability and insecurity. For this purpose, two specific objectives were proposed: i) To identify in the displacements on foot of the woman the influence of three factors: a) infrastructure; b) public security; and c) sociocultural, with the intention of evaluating the perspective of the woman when moving on foot in the city due to its built space and socio-cultural issues; and ii) Create a female fear walkability index in the cities chosen for the case study based on the factors identified in item i.
