Living in urban areas is the wish of many people. However, with population growth in those areas, quality of life has become a concerning element for achieving sustainable cities. Because quality of life is influenced by the built environment, the state of the latter is a fundamental issue for public policies. This research expands on previous research on the perceived pleasantness of built environments by pres...
Urban Freight Transport (UFT) is responsible for moving goods in urban areas to meet citizens’ demands, which makes it essential for economic development. Simultaneously, UFT contributes to adverse impacts on society and the environment, including congestion and pollution. This paper assesses how the urban infrastructure and UFT externalities influence the residents’ quality of life. Three major assumptions wer...
Es8ma8ng the number of trips generated by a company is an essen8al part of the pro-cess of freight demand modelling. In this context, the current study examines freight trip genera8on to buildings under construc8on (BUC) using generalised linear regression and linear regression, through a case study to Belo Horizonte. The main contribu8ons of this paper are related to the models to es8mate freight trips to BUC,...
In an urban freight distribution system, determination of the number and location of loading-unloading places is required to regulate loading-unloading opera ons. This pa-per presents mathema cal models for on-street loading-unloading space loca on based on set-covering problem and p-median problem formula ons. The approaches was tested with real data: an area has 160 city blocks and 60 on-street loading-unload...
Using public transport systems has been reported to be a possible vector of virus transmission during epidemics. In this context, this article aims to analyze the spatial correlation between public transportation users and COVID-19 cases, using Recife (PE) as a case study. Using spatial analysis, the Moran I Global and Local index were calculated, and global and geographically weighted regression models were es...
Family farming plays a key role in the generation of income and supplying urban centres with fresh food. However, the knowledge about the profile of family farmers, especially in the Northeast of Brazil is scarce. In light of this, this paper analyzes the regional influence of the Guanambi (BA) municipal marketplace, formed mostly by family farmers. The analyzes were based on data from field research with famil...
The urban freight transport is responsible for the city’s consumption chain, being a key factor on urban development, despite all related conflicts and problems. In this context, this paper presents an analysis of the implementation of an Urban Logistic Space as an intermediate step in the urban goods distribution, using freight vehicle and electric tricycles. Therefore, a transport network for the central regi...
