- Abstract
Bicycle use can bring health and economic benefits to users. However, considering the diversity of factors that can influence the option for cycling transport, it is important to evaluate cycling spaces in order to investigate possibilities for improvement. In this context, this study aimed to evaluate cycling spaces in Cianorte Town, Paraná, Brazil. After selecting two cyclable stretches, 1 and 2, a flow survey and a land use diagnosis of these locations were conducted. Afterwards, an audit was carried out, based on a checklist consisting of 15 items, evaluated according to the level of compliance. The information obtained allowed the identification of intervention actions in the stretches. The initial characterization indicated the possible recreational use as predominant in stretch 1 (mixed land use nearby) and utility use in stretch 2 (commercial land use in the surroundings). The audit showed some problems, such as defects in the pavement of section 1, and the absence of adequate shading in stretch 2. This allowed measures to be proposed, such as repairs to the pavements and the planting of trees. This research demonstrates the importance of regularly evaluating spaces for cyclists. With this, possible interventions can be identified to continuously improve the cycling infrastructure in urban centers.
