“…Se as condições de mobilidade pedonal forem asseguradas, os transeuntes sentem-se motivados a se apropriarem dos lugares, reforçando a vivência urbana e fortalecendo a atividade social no meio urbanizado (Shimizu et al, 2022). Nesse sentido, as funções das calçadas devem ir além do simples fato de proporcionar área suficiente para circulação, possibilitando o contato direto dos cidadãos com condições sociais do entorno (Gehl, 2013;.…”

Resumo Diante da redução da equidade de usos e da garantia de acessibilidade em cidades, o objetivo geral desta pesquisa é avaliar as condições de calçadas para grupos de mobilidade reduzida, adotando trechos viários do bairro Centro de Curitiba, Paraná, como objetos de estudo. Com estrutura multimétodos, qualiquantitativa e exploratória, ela foi desenvolvida em quatro fases: caracterização local, leitura técnica, análise perceptual e avaliação integrada. Como respostas à pergunta investigativa sobre aproximações e distanciamentos entre prática e percepção desses espaços, os resultados evidenciam a impossibilidade de confirmação da hipótese orientativa de que o atendimento a princípios especializados permite melhores qualificações perceptivas, potencializadoras de identificação, pertencimento e apropriação de calçadas como lugares de socialização, não diagnosticadas neste caso.

“…If the conditions for pedestrian mobility are assured, passers-by feel motivated to appropriate the places, reinforcing urban experience and strengthening social activity in the urbanized environment (Shimizu et al, 2022). In this sense, the functions of sidewalks should go beyond the simple fact of providing sufficient area for circulation, enabling direct contact between citizens and the social conditions of the surrounding area (Gehl, 2013;.…”

Given the reduction in the equity of uses and the guarantee of accessibility in cities, the general objective of the research is to evaluate the conditions of sidewalks for groups with reduced mobility, adopting road sections in the Centro neighborhood of Curitiba, Paraná, as study objects. With a multimethod, quali-quantitative, and exploratory structure, it was developed in four phases: local characterization, technical reading, perceptual analysis, and integrated evaluation. As responses to the investigative question about approximations and distances between practice and perception of these spaces, the results show the impossibility of confirming the guiding hypothesis that meeting specialized principles allows better perceptive qualifications, enhancing identification, belonging, and appropriation of sidewalks as places for socialization, not diagnosed in this case.

This study starts by questioning what smart cities are and how they are being planned for the future of the population. Faced with a wide range of information, the coexistence of multiple definitions, and differences between the theoretical concept and what is being carried out in the real world, it is recognized that entrepreneurs and public managers require more clarity regarding the essential attributes that need to be considered in the initiatives of a city that aims to be classified as smart. This study strives to identify and synthesize essential information, helping managers to define and develop projects and initiatives within the context of smart cities. Through a literature review, six widely cited and commonly used groups of indicators are selected, and the most frequent themes, indicators, and keywords are identified. The results are the essential elements founded and synthesized in a single visual scheme. Although this study has a practical purpose, it is also necessary to promote new policies focused on incentives for local initiatives to support and complement them due to the new decentralized and anthropocentric approach to smart sustainable cities.
