标题:Evaluation of the urban transportation infrastructure and its urban surroundings in the Iztapalapa County: A geotechnology approach about its management
摘要:Abstract The urban transportation infrastructure (UTI) is an essential asset for any city and it affects citizens, governments, economic growth and urban functioning. The UTI is more valuable than ever due to the urbanization process that concentrates more people in the urban centers, generating a greater mobility demand and urban sprawl that encourages the automobile usage with its associated consequences like congestion, roads accidents, noise etc. Hence, a new UTI management approach is required in order to enhance the sustainable mobility paradigm. The objective of this paper is to construct a set of indicators related to the sustainable transportation modes that could help the decision-making of urban planning via a Geographic Information System. As a case study, the indicators are determined for a Census Tract within Iztapalapa County, the results revealed opportunities for improvement through lines of action that belong to an integral mobility plan rather than partial implemented countermeasures.
