Avaliação do grau de exclusão social relacionada ao transporte aquaviário através do método de Necessidades Socialmente Percebidas (NSP): o caso de Cotijuba

Abstract

Social exclusion related to transportation in areas of vulnerability causes the marginalization of people residing in that region due to the impossibility of providing them with access to employment, health, education, leisure and other services essential to the individual's full participation in society. The city of Belém, both in the continental region and on the islands, presents a panorama where public urban transport is close to its operational limit, leaving something to be desired in the service of peripheral areas, causing the population living there to face daily problems to circulate and, even more, being imputed in its reach to such services and opportunities. This work aims to assess the degree of social exclusion related to transportation in areas of vulnerability as a subsidy for public policy guidelines. The methodology can be divided into two parts, the first of a qualitative nature, is a bibliographic review, through secondary sources to bring the theoretical basis of the work. The second part, of a quantitative nature, will be based on the Socially Perceived Necessities method, originating from the social sciences, which consists of drawing up a list of items, here, it was adapted from the lists of other countries, that are considered essential for the individual to live with quality of life, the application of the method, through interviews in the regions of vulnerability, in this case, the island of Cotijuba, and the analysis of the results, using the computer programs Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Power BI. Then, it was possible to determine the degree of social exclusion related to transport in three dimensions: Work, Education and Health, identify critical points and propose public policy guidelines aimed at mitigating the scenario for the island's population.
