Comportamento do desempenho das regiões administrativas do Rio de Janeiro em função da acessibilidade

Abstract

In an effort to understand observable trends in people’s home-work paths through the use of accessibility measures, the present work investigates the efficiency of 24 of the most relevant Administrative Regions of Rio de Janeiro due to accessibility. This investigation is performed through Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), which estimates the standard efficiency of each region; through Cross-Assessment, which ranks these efficiencies; and by target analysis, which estimates the variation needed for each inefficient variable to reach the efficiency frontier. For this, the analysis is based on the performance of two indicators: one for social efficiency assessment and one for economic efficiency in the regions. Some regions have discordant results (high efficiency in DEA and low in Cross Assessment), such as Portuaria and Realengo, and others have equivalent results, such as Centro, with high efficiency, and Santa Cruz, low in both DEA and Cross Evaluation. Due to the combination of the three analyzes (DEA-BCC model, Cross-Assessment and target analysis for the variables), it is possible to see a common factor in almost all regions of the city, the high use of individual transport, with Botafogo having the largest need to mitigate this variable.
