Abstract(s)
A qualidade de vida da população urbana é cada vez mais discutida no estudo das políticas públicas. Em um cenário de crescimento e concentração da população nos aglomerados urbanos, a vida do cidadão tem sido afetada por graves problemas, sobretudo, na questão do deslocamento urbano. A política de mobilidade urbana sustentável tem a finalidade de proporcionar o acesso amplo e democrático ao espaço urbano, de forma segura, socialmente inclusiva e sustentável. Dentre as alternativas ao automóvel, a utilização da bicicleta influencia diretamente na qualidade de vida e bem-estar individual. Neste contexto, o estudo investigou os impactos das ciclovias na qualidade de vida dos cidadãos da cidade de Boa Vista, Brasil. A localidade apresentava altos índices de violência no trânsito e mortalidade de ciclistas, porém, não possuía qualquer via exclusiva para proteger os ciclistas. A investigação entrevistou os ciclistas utilizadores das ciclovias e os resultados revelaram que a política pública trouxe um estímulo ao uso da bicicleta, principalmente, como prática de atividade física e lazer. Com o incentivo à pedalada, diversos benefícios físicos e psicológicos foram percebidos pelos ciclistas. Por fim, houve uma colaboração à liberdade de ir e vir pela cidade de maneira mais segura, saudável, económica e sustentável.
