Abstract

This exploratory study intends to contribute to the understanding of transport, as a factor of social exclusion, showing how accessibility and mobility influence the choices and how they impact on certain people and regions. The purpose of this study was to analyze the mobility and accessibility of transport in the municipality of Seropédica, through a group, previously chosen to represent the general universe of users of the system. The group had in common the Federal Rural University of Rio de Janeiro as pole generator of trip, which was chosen because the university had an important role in the search for knowledge without social and political boundaries, as well as the role of transport that aims to aggregate, reducing distances; with Program for the Support of Restructuring and Expansion of Federal Universities the university has grown in courses offered and number of users, as well as the municipality that grows, greatly influenced by the growth of university and industrial zone and logistics. What is observed, however, is that the transport system does not grow at the same pace and does not follow the needs of users. The embroidery considered quantitative and qualitative aspects, in order to verify the influence of transportation on the users' choices, besides the socioeconomic weight of the users. The analysis process was divided in two stages, the first documentary and bibliographical and the second that was subdivided into two surveys, the first the application of questionnaire with students and the second interviews with employees of the UFRRJ, both occurred concomitantly and were searched identify the weight of transportation in the lives of users with a focus on time and cost and how this can impact the development of the region. It was observed that the students of UFRRJ mostly do not intend to continue in the municipality, not even the residents in the municipality, they see the transportation as a factor of impediment for the development of the municipality, there is no on the part of the interviewed ones a sense of belonging to the place . There is a need for a greater participation of UFRRJ in influencing local governments in order to think public policies to improve the mobility and accessibility of the transportation system in order to attract and retain people for the maintenance of local development
