Proposta de mobilidade sustentável na Universidade Federal de Campina Grande.

Abstract

For being inserted in a modern context of public administration, which demands management changes and denotes emergency in discussions about sustainability and sustainable urban mobility, the Federal Institutions of Higher Education (IFES) need a methodology of management that incorporate the socio-environmental dimension, and should be put in practice to emphasize sustainable management - Environmental Agenda on Public Administration (A3P). The Federal University of Campina Grande (UFCG), represents a part of Public Administration, besides being an influential and active protagonist in the community inside and outside its campuses' gates. Thus, this research has as its central problem the following question: is the mobility system currently used by the student community from CCBS/UFCG, especially regarding the path CCBS - Central Building, sustainable and satisfactory, from a socio-environmental perspective? The problem question and the obtained data are analyzed from a quantitative-qualitative perspective. The methodology counts with a descriptive and exploratory case study, from bibliographic and documental data, and an elaborate questionnaire. As our main reference for sustainable management, we present a report produced and successfully applied at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ). The general objective consists in analyzing the perception of students from the Center of Biological Sciences and of Health (CCBS), at the Federal University of Campina Grande (UFCG) - Campina Grande campus, concerning the viability of a bicycle-sharing system covering the distance from CCBS to the Central Building of UFCG and vice-verse. It is a field research using a deductive approach method, and a comparative method for procedures, aided by historical-evolutionary method. Concerning the results, the collected data indicate a positive perception of the university community from CCBS before the hypothesis of installation of a bicycle-sharing system inside the geographical area of the campus in which this center is inserted, and of the benefits the implementation of this proposal would bring to all the people involved directly or indirectly. We could observe the cultural view on bicycles and, in parallel, we highlight a matter of gender in this study, and the relation between fears specifically faced in daily life by women and the urban area. Finally, some proposals are presented aiming the promotion of intracampus sustainable urban mobility, starting with a bike friendly planning at the university, under the perspective of enabling more quality of life for the universitarian community, starting from the promotion of sustainable mobililty in the investigated area.
