As políticas públicas e a mobilidade urbana: uma análise bibliométrica exploratória

Abstract

Research Purpose: Public policies are associated with actions taken by public authorities to respond to collective needs. In the urban context, mobility has become an important issue for understanding socio-spatial concerns, as well as for defining criteria for public action and urban planning. With the aim of understanding how public interest has been responding to social demands, this study seeks to identify the issues that have attracted scholarly attention in the field of urban mobility over the last three decades. Methodology: To this end, a bibliometric study is conducted using the Scopus platform. The research systematizes the literature on the relationship between public policy and urban mobility and identifies gaps, as well as key works and leading authors. Findings: The results of the performance analysis and scientific mapping indicate that academic production has undergone a transition, with themes related to society and sustainability becoming more prominent in the last decade. However, some gaps remain in the holistic approach to public policies, particularly regarding the inclusion of public health concerns and gender issues. Originality/Value: This study systematizes existing knowledge and highlights opportunities for future research oriented towards an intersectoral approach that is sensitive to inequalities and to the multiple needs related to the use and experience of the city.
