Abstract

The objective of this work is to develop a prioritization model of urban areas for integrated revitalization and sustainable mobility projects, based on the principles of Transit Oriented Development (TOD). A spatial multicriteria evaluation model was developed, which was later applied and validated in Itajubá City, Brazil. The work also used Fuzzy Functions to normalize the criteria, following with the aggregation of qualitative and quantitative criteria in the Geographic Information System (GIS). The maps with priority indexes showed important areas to receive revitalization and mobility and urban projects, indicating that there are continuous parts in the central region of the study area, which enables their implementation. The model can help decision-makers to justify investments in priority areas in view of the inconvenient limitation of resources, always aiming to improve the quality of life of the population.
