“…Recent epistemological discussions regarding the needs to structure a more comprehensive analysis of urban systems have emerged, and a holistic approach has resulted in a paradigm shift, where integrated urban planning studies are performed, considering subsystems such as the location of activities, the land-use, and the transport structure [6,[10][11][12][13]. Cumulative indicators and measures of centrality, concentration, accessibility, and attractiveness are already discussed in research work on urban freight planning but are not often considered in policymaking [6,[14][15][16][17]. In strategic planning, these measures can be applied for urban freight transport management, relating to logistics demand generation (i.e.…”

Access to food systems is essential to sustain urban life. In this paper, we discuss the differences concerning accessibility levels to food systems among potential consumers in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. The goal was to characterize spatial mismatches regarding food opportunities and identify suitable areas for sustainable food mile solutions, such as non-motorized home delivery and purchase trips. For this, we have spatially related: (i) the population concentration; (ii) the income of households; and (iii) accessibility measures considering both the spatial structure of food retailers and the distance between households and stores, considering the food mile. We have then used spatial statistics and spatial analysis methods to determine the spatial pattern of variables and the cumulative opportunity measure for households. There is great spatial differentiation regarding the accessibility levels of food retailers and the results can be considered to support the development of policy and land use regulation that can stimulate non-motorized and collaborative delivery as an effective last-mile solution.

“…Quando as áreas de carga e descarga não são suficientes para atender à demanda, a quantidade de estacionamentos irregulares aumenta consideravelmente, prejudicando a fluidez do trânsito. O uso associado desses dois modelos visa apoiar o processo de tomada de decisão para desenvolver e adaptar áreas de carga e descarga na cidade e foi testado no centro de La Rochelle, na Por fim, o modelo SIMETAB, de acordo com Gardrat et al (2014), modela a estrutura econômica de uma área urbana e pode produzir dados de entrada passíveis de uso por muitos modelos de transporte de carga. A partir de características urbanas, como população e número de empregos de uma região, o modelo é capaz de fornecer insumos para que os tomadores de decisões possam prever os impactos de possíveis cenários urbanos.…”
