This dissertation is based on the hypothesis that, in the promulgation of the Brazilian Federal Law nº. 12.587 of 3 January 2012 that regulates the guidelines of the National Policy on Urban Mobility, the campuses mobility systems need to be reviewed and adapted to the new premises. The subject matter is justified for the interest in extend specific research on mobility in university campus areas. The empirical study refers to the urban mobility on Recife Campus of Federal University of Pernambuco, based on land surveying and bibliographic research. The urban layout was analysed since its original version to the present day and were identified the road system main components, the modification to its operation by the city accelerating urbanization and the consequences caused to the mobility system. The theoretical framework is founded on the urban planning theories and space syntax where the urban layout configuration generates movement patterns in the city and its road systems. Five examples of mobility systems in Brazilian campuses were presented for purposes of comparison, with different parametric referential. The hypothesis was confirmed and to change the situation are proposed technical solutions focusing equity in the use of public space, safety and sustainability. General advices about the subject were presented, such as moderation in the use of motorized vehicles, encouraging cycling activities and human-powered transport, accessibility and safety to the user and mitigation of unfavourable weather conditions. Finalizing and closing the Dissertation, in the light of the foregoing analysis, it was concluded that campuses have to preserve their specific characteristics of park, even though surrounded by the urban network continually expanding. The more green areas inside the town, the more enjoyable the environment. The process here studied, commonly verified in areas where the conurbation phenomenon occurs, may serve as research material in investigations with thematic similarities.
