Abstract

Among the many social problems faced in Brazil, one is little touched by the press in general, by politicians, or even by the scientific community: the question of sidewalks. Because it is a key element for the locomotion of citizens in cities, it should receive more attention from all, including designers, managers, and scientific researchers. Impossible to approach sustainability in large Brazilian cities without addressing the sidewalks issue. The present work, in its bibliographical review, begins by bringing a historical perspective of the sidewalks, by approaching the first constructive initiatives in Paris of XIX century. The Brazilian Legislation in this respect is addressed. The study of Quality Indicators for sidewalks is mentioned. In Results and Discussion, the results are presented and discussed through Granulometric, Thermal, Spectroscopic, Viscosity, Physics, Rheological and Mechanical Analysis. A case study was elaborated and presented for the city of Queimadas/PB. In Conclusion, the study points out that it is possible to use footwear industry residues in asphalt pavement for sidewalks, since it is applied under some conditions indicated by the research. In the end, some initiatives are suggested for new academic works in the area.
