Os transportes e as interações espaciais como propulsores da dinâmica urbana: o caso da estação de metrô de Coelho Neto, Rio de Janeiro-RJ Rio de Janeiro 2022

Abstract

This Master's thesis consists of analyzing the spatial interactions that took place in Coelho Neto before and after the inauguration of the subway station in the neighborhood and, with that, highlighting the importance of transport in the urban dynamics as a whole. The analysis focuses on the centrality exerted by the station, where other means of transport began to converge, emphasizing how the strategic geographic position of the Coelho Neto neighborhood, between two road axes, contributed to this process of transport convergence. This established condition resulted in an expansion of the spatial reach originally intended for the station, as well as an increase in its coverage area, with the population residing in other neighborhoods seeking to use another mode of transport to reach Coelho Neto and from there proceed to your final destination via the subway. We evidenced the transfer function that the neighborhood and the station have, analyzing how this process of integration between the modes was constituted, including bringing to the work a historical rescue of the neighborhood of Coelho Neto in connection with the city of Rio de Janeiro and the implementation of the transport system and its relationship with the expansion and urban occupation in the City. As a final result, we can indicate the pertinence of the singular dynamic, driven by pure popular interest in the search for better urban mobility, in the constitution of Coelho Neto as a subway station to guard the road centrality in Rio de Janeiro.
