RESUMO

Adaptations of the urban structure for encouraging trips by sustainable modes, as well as the selection and implementation of actions and policies with the same objective, are still challenges to technicians and urban managers. The Index of Sustainable Urban Mobility (I_SUM) was adopted here as the basis of a strategy to deal with those problems. Each one of the 87 indicators of I_SUM was evaluated by experts, who pointed out potential difficulties for the implementation of improvements. The evaluations provided elements for the development, application and analysis of the results of a scenario-based planning method. The goal of the method is the search of alternatives to adapt cities to the concept of sustainable urban mobility. The results obtained with the application in the city of São Carlos suggest that the method is a promising urban planning strategy, given that it can indicate several sets of practical actions with clear potential to conduct the city to the goal of sustainable mobility. That selection of actions was based on clear criteria, such as: implementation costs, time (in multiples of four years, in order to match the time available to the elected mayors), and the political risk of the proposed actions. The analyses of the outcomes led to the conclusion that the method is appropriate for urban planning purposes, given that it was consistent not only with the observed problems but also with the anticipated solutions to many of the urban mobility challenges. Also, indicators that simultaneously have an indirect influence on the generation of sustainable trips, and were associated to actions meeting all feasibility criteria, have shown a clear potential to change the overall index value. Furthermore, although some Domains have had several indicators with poor evaluations (e.g., the Domains Non-Motorized Modes and Urban Transport Systems), they also have concentrated a large number of indicators associated to feasible actions. It seems to indicate that these indicators could be easily improved, if stimulated by adequate policies.
