Mobilidade urbana e acessibilidade ao campus da UFRRJ no município Seropédica

Abstract

The present research analyzes urban mobility in the periphery, a study on the municipality of Seropédica. Through the verification of the offer, quality and efficiency of public transportation and how these data reflect on the life of the academic community of the Rural Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRRJ). How does interurban mobility affect access to UFRRJ in Seropédica and what are the impacts for the academic community? The time frame starts with the process of university expansion and restructuring - REUNI - Program to Support University Restructuring and Expansion Plans. We consider the period from 2009-2019 because of the significant increase in people's movement in the municipality in question due to this expansion, with the increase of vacancies and creation of new courses. Commuting, especially in cities, as well as the resources invested, whether economic, spatial or temporal using public or private transportation, generate considerable impacts on people's quality of life, in such a way that transportation was added as a fundamental right through Constitutional Amendment No. 90 of 09/15/15, which amended Article 6 of the Federal Constitution. This work seeks to identify how the University can present reflections on this problem that affects the quality of life of the community and its well-being.
