SUMMARY:

Every person has an equal right of access to opportunities. For this, municipalities need to offer services that guarantee this right. In this context, public transport plays an important role socially as it is an instrument to meet everyone's displacement needs. However, transport planning, especially the urban public transport system, has not included the assessment of this social issue. In this sense, the advancement of equity in the planning of public transport systems is necessary for the sustainable development of cities, especially in emerging countries. The purpose of this doctoral thesis is to assess the equity of public transport through the relationship between supply and demand, using measures of access to the system and frequency of service. The aim is to spatially diagnose the service levels in this way and estimate the repressed demand due to the lack of access to the system. Public transport system GTFS (General Transit Feed Specification) data and electronic ticket data were combined with socioeconomic data for spatial analysis of supply and proposition of system improvements. The population was assessed in general, by stratifying income into quartiles and by gender (female and male). The analysis was carried out in this way to assess the differences in the provision of public transport for social strata or genders and the impact this causes. To validate the proposed methodology, the procedure was applied to the region served by the public transport system in the municipality of Jaraguá do Sul - SC. That said, the results and analysis of the procedure point to a potential for including the proposed methodology in traditional planning models to encompass the social character in the search for an equitable distribution of access to the entire population. In addition, another important contribution of the proposal is to estimate the repressed demand through the spatial analysis of supply and manifest demand. It can then indicate the areas that need intervention with priority to attract trips that are not carried out due to the deficiencies of the public transport system.
