Construindo métricas de qualidade territorial para o Programa “Minha casa minha vida”: Uma ferramenta baseada em acessibilidade e mobilidade

Abstract

Access to social housing in Brazil has historically been shaped by urban peripheralization and by the absence of robust technical criteria to assess the territorial insertion of developments. This dissertation aims to develop and apply the Lot Qualification Index (IQL) to technically qualify land parcels for Minha Casa Minha Vida (MCMV) projects based on accessibility and urban mobility. The method builds a multimodal evaluation matrix—walking, cycling, feeder bus, and mass transit—that assigns scores according to ideal and maximum tolerable travel-time thresholds to essential facilities (education, health, proximity retail, intermodal terminals, and leisure), using weights by facility type. The IQL is computed from georeferenced data and official technical parameters and is applied to a case study in the Rio de Janeiro Metropolitan Region, producing maps, tables, and a comparative ranking of sites. Results show clear differentiation across modes and destinations, with favorable conditions for active travel and fragilities in feeder-bus integration and times, enabling objective site classification and prioritization. The study concludes that the IQL is replicable and operationally useful for public managers, financial agents, and developers, supporting locational decisions and contributing to urban justice, locational efficiency, and more rational allocation of public resources through a visual, analytical decision-support tool for the siting of social housing.
