CICLOTURISMO: MOBILIDADE URBANA E VALORIZAÇÃO DO TURISMO DA CIDADE DE ARACAJU - SERGIPE

Abstract

The transformations that we follow in contemporary society, whether in the social, economic and/or technological contexts, promoted a new culture on urban mobility. In leisure and tourism scenarios, these changes are mainly characterized by flexible production of free time and the need to escape from the daily issues. Based on these assumptions, this paper aims to propose the use of bicycles for tourist use, in order to facilitate the visit to the main sightseeing tours of the City of Aracaju through a new way to get to know and go through the city streets. In order to achieve this goal, the following procedures were performed: literature review and analysis of case studies that served as the basis for understanding the bicycle sharing system implanted in the city of Aracaju – The Caju Bike. In addition, we ran some tests of Caju Bike system in the routes, use of cycle paths and cycle tracks existing between the hotels and tourist places of the city. We believe that through the bike becomes possible to promote sustainable urban mobility designed to minimize problems such as circulatory chaos, noise and air pollution, the stress of traffic, as well as allow the inclusion of tourist in their use for locomotion, receptive tours and "city tours".
