ANALYSIS OF THE URBAN MOBILITY PLAN OF ANÁPOLIS IN THE VIEW

OF MEDIUM AND LONG TERM FUNCTIONALITY

In the organizational scope of cities, as their transitions occur, numerous barriers arise, be
they, economic, political, social, cultural and, or architectural, that solidify, and generate the
existence of physical obstacles. Those without planning prevent and frustrate citizens as users of
the city. Today's cities, literally, deprive themselves of this full experience, because in their
planning there is a deficit in accessibility to the urban space, which end up hampering or preventing
the movement of people and goods.
In the absence of this accessibility, we enter into an issue that aims to analyze the behavior
of a city through the challenge of its expansion, without it being based on urban planning, better
known as urban mobility. In this regard, this study proposes to analyze the interventions made in
the city of Anápolis-GO, in order to analyze whether they contribute to the generation of urban
mobility in the municipality.
When making a brief analysis of the city of Anápolis, one has the perception that, despite
being a city still evolving; it presents a very concrete discrepancy when it comes to issues related
to urban planning.
In recent years, the city of Anápolis has been constantly growing due to its economy and
quality of life. Occupying the ranking of the 2nd region of the state of Goiás with the highest GDP,
behind only the capital of the state, the city starts to attract different views enabling the migration
of people from different regions to live in its environment, where several factors contributed to
accelerate its socioeconomic expansion process, the main one being that the region serves as
strategic support in the logistical support of Brasília and Goiânia.
Consequently, due to the change of scenery from the interior city to the strategic one,
Anápolis not only experienced progress, but also retreated in some aspects, that is, in the period of
changes in the organizational scope of the region, the municipality did not pay attention to urban
planning issues, and today deals with a serious problem, the lack of urban mobility in the city.
With several changes taking place in the Anápolis scenario, the most visible in the logistical
sphere of transport, the city begins to feel the first obstacles that planning, or lack of it, has
generated in itself, with that, as time goes by, the transformations are consolidated in the
municipality.
Where society tends to change together, and these transformations measure its
organizational scope, since this is correlated to the traffic flow within the city, where, with the
gradual increase in cars in the region, there is an increasing number of transits saturated, making
the movement of goods and services literally challenging with the intensity of the problem.
However, Anápolis does not have the necessary infrastructure for such demand, with the
increase in the number of means of locomotion on a gradual scale, the problems of fluidity of
traffic, has been presenting itself due to a geometric progression, making it something of concern
for a city of extension considerable population of about 400 thousand inhabitants.
There are currently some projects in the implementation phase, due to the urban mobility plan for
cities with a population over 200 thousand inhabitants, governed by the law number 12,587 of
January 2012, which aims to improve accessibility and mobility of people and loads in the
municipalities and integrate the different modes of transport. The continuous flow of vehicle traffic
in the urban perimeter still remains slow, so that the same occurs more frequently in mass transport.
However, it is worth mentioning that the analysis of the urban mobility plan of Anápolis,
becomes an issue to think about and to propose changes that will assist in the process of study of
the city's redesign. This seeks to analyze whether the interventions made so far, and those contained
in the municipality's mobility plan, will, in fact, be sufficient and effective for the generation of
mobility in the medium and long term, considering the growth rates population in the region.
The study method originated from the bibliographic review on the current law of urban
mobility in Brazilian municipalities, for cities above 200 thousand inhabitants, as well as mobility
actions linked to the urban planning instruments provided with data from the Ministry of Cities.
In this regard, an attempt was made to study the city of Anápolis, and to analyze the main
changes generated in the city scenario due to its growth, as well as technical analysis of the
transport infrastructure in the urban scope of the region, and thus to predict empirical issues. and
densification data if these interventions will in fact be effective for the purpose that proposes them.
The National Urban Mobility Policy is an instrument of the urban development policy,
aiming at the integration between the different modes of transport and improving the accessibility
and mobility of people and cargo in the territory of the Municipality, in order to contribute to
universal access to the city, the promotion and implementation of conditions that contribute to the
implementation of the principles, objectives and guidelines of the urban development policy,
through the planning and democratic management of the National System of Urban Mobility,
stipulated by the Ministry of Cities.
The urban mobility plan of Anápolis, appears in 2014, at the request of the federal
government together with the Ministry of Cities, which decree regulates that cities above 200
thousand inhabitants must present their urban mobility plan for the transfer of funds from the
federal government to these municipalities.
With a project approved in 2014, the municipal transit and transport company CMTT
together with the municipality's urban planning secretary, present as a bidding document the project
that provides for the unblocking of public roads in the city center, with the creation of exclusive
lanes for buses, corridors along the urban perimeter of the city, in addition to the creation of 2
viaducts on the main avenue of the municipality.
After the public consultation and the population was presented in September 2015, the
Anápolis mobility plan provided for the creation of two viaducts, one on Avenida Brasil with
Avenida Goiás and Barão do Rio Branco, and the other also on Avenida Brasil with Amazílio Lino.
The corridors implemented, comprised the 6 main avenues along the urban perimeter of the
municipality, some classified as arterial and / or collectors, whose functionality provided for the
greater flow of mass public transport on an exclusive road with embarkation and disembarkation
platform on a rigid pavement composed of CCP (Portland Cement Concrete) plates.
In addition to interventions with less impact in the city center and along the corridors such
as creation of loin-tracks, and embarkation and disembarkation platforms along the central
construction site.
The works that started in 2015, carried out in stages, first covered the construction of the
two elevations along Avenida Brasil, where during its construction the avenue operated only on
one lane, generating a traffic restriction that made road users opt for other ones. routes.
Once the elevation works have been completed, as shown in Figure 4, revitalization was
carried out on the roads in the city center, and in other parts of the city, with the construction of
elevated lanes and signaling of an exclusive route for public transport, and creation of embarkation
and disembarkation points at the construction sites the main avenues.
Consequently, work began on the creation of the 6 bus corridors in the municipality,
covering the avenues of rapid transit and greater flow, to which technicians in the area chose to
create stops made up of CCP plates and thus they extended the boarding platforms, (OLIVEIRA,
2018).
The consolidation of the urban mobility plan of Anápolis, foresees conclusion for the
second semester of 2019, with that it is assumed an increase of followers to the means of mass
transportation, according to the CMTT, due to exclusive roads and with quite traffic functional in
terms of fluidity, there will be a gain in time in traffic, and public transport users tend to grow
considerably.
Operating within the municipality, public transport with a single fare, travels through all
the districts of Anápolis and transports about 18 thousand passengers / day on its 177 transport
lines daily.
Therefore, it is thought in terms of urban planning and transportation, the creation of line
integration systems without the user having to travel to the passenger terminal and take another
destination there. Then there are stretches interconnected by means of line integration systems, thus
allowing greater time savings for the route user.
However, according to the IBGE, the demographic growth rate of Anápolis deals with a
considerable percentage, it is expected that for the next census the population rate will have grown
around 15.7%, and the creation of work axes, a study and leisure, generate the demand for
locomotion of individuals and with these interventions made and in the process of creation, the city
will have sufficient capacity to receive this densification and with this increase, an increase also of
the users of public transport and individual vehicles. With the possibility of creating new
neighborhoods, and points of origin and destination.
When you think about a planned city, you also think about an urban environment that is
concerned with the quality of life of its inhabitants, and this quality of life is correlated with the
way we live today, and we think about tomorrow, where we have to associate planning, with issues
that literally allow us free access to the urban environment, and the right to come and go.
Thinking about urban mobility means thinking about displacements based on people's needs
and their access to the facilities, services and opportunities that the city offers.
It involves always relating the locomotion and transport systems to the city's functions, such as the
location of urban equipment, and the interactions of transport with the city's sustainability and
safety policies. However, it can be said that the results to be gained, and expected with the
consolidation of the Anápolis urban mobility plan, are somewhat comprehensive.
In the reformulation of the transport infrastructure system with the implementation of a
mobility plan, there are already changes in traffic on the main avenues of the municipality, with
the creation of urban art works and corridors, in fact allowing a greater flow and on a higher scale,
gains are noted in terms of time and comfort in mass transport, highlighting its importance within
the scope of the urban mobility policy, as there will be a greater number of supporters and with
that, there will be a smaller number of private vehicles and with that, roads with lighter traffic.
In addition to the policy of insertion to the followers of non-motorized media, such as the
creation of cycle lanes, thus contributing to the fact that there is an adhesion of an ideology of
sustainable mobility in the region.
However, it is expected that with the consolidation of the plan and with the growth of the
city, that municipal administrators and managers in the scope of transport and urban planning of
the municipality will pay attention to the necessary changes in the perimeter of the city, and with
that they can propose interventions that do with that urban and transport planning are premises in
the development of the municipality, so that the plan itself has long-term effectiveness.
Since cities change according to the changing habits of the population, and these changes
are directly related to the quality of life of the user.
