Do tópico ao utópico: os estudos da paisagem metropolitana na orientação de políticas públicas de mobilidade no Rio de Janeiro

Abstract

We’re living in the world the context of metropolization, or regional urbanization advancing towards the structure of financial capitalism and totalitarian globalization. This structure has a strong influence in all aspects and actors of cities, and either participates in building urban landscapes or being influenced by these. While thinking about public policies in urban mobility in Rio de Janeiro metropolis, we can observe a structure of mobility incompatible with its dimension and profoundly unequal, in socio-spatial terms. This thesis has as main objective analyse the best practices - and among it, to discuss the priority factors of evaluation - to a future mobility public policy making in the Rio de Janeiro metropolis and its metropolitan area of influence, through a critical landscape approach. We seek answer the question: which factors should be considered as priorities during the elaboration of an effective public policy planning in mobility at Rio de Janeiro metropolis, considering the promotion of socio-spatial justice? The research object and its focuses were: the metropolitan landscape of Rio de Janeiro metropolis and its influential area between 2010 and 2025. The methodology compounds the historical dialectical materialism framework, using the historical, monographic, tipologic and structured design for system modelling proceeding methods. The techniques include bibliographical survey and the structured analysis for system modeling. Along the research, we defined the concepts of landscape, sociospatial justice, mobility and public policies planning for effective, sustainable, and resilient mobility, providing a systemic and integrated analytical approach to be complemented by a Spatial Decision Support System (SDSS), which its structured specifications building is presented as a fundamental one in this thesis.
