    Transporte urbano y emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero en América Latina. Una modelización de las emisiones de la movilidad urbana aplicada a Bogotá y Lima
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2024-03-12) Thomas, Hugo
    In Latin America, urban transport is a major greenhouse gas emitter, responsible for climate change. Public policies are trying to take into account climate change mitigation within urban planning by means of action plans. However, they lack the tools to calculate the emissions and estimate the effect of the measures they set up. Urban mobility surveys are a relevant source of data to know people’s travel patterns. This article develops an emission modelling methodology based on mobility surveys and characteristics of fuels and vehicles, in order to, but not restricted to, produce data to support public policies. In addition, we use the spatial analysis tools to create maps and cartograms that depict the ecological inequalities in an original way.

    Paratránsito y accesibilidad: más allá de la movilidad urbana en el área metropolitana de Cochabamba
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2024-03-12) Méndez, Lucas A.; Cabrera, Juan E.; Gantier, Leandro; Gamarra, Stefanie
    Urban transport services in Bolivia are characterized by their informality, self-management, atomization, reduced quality, as well as a high capacity for route multiplication, the main link with urban sprawl. However, an analysis of the level of accessibility that this mode of service allows in Cochabamba shows that it is a highly efficient service under this indicator. The level of accessibility that paratransit allows contributes to the reduction of inequalities and articulation of the peripheries to the opportunities offered by the city.

    El transporte del pueblo: los mototaxis y la movilidad cotidiana en Lima
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2024-03-12) Boose, William
    There are hundreds of thousands of mototaxistas in Lima, and they are vital to everyday mobility in much of the city. Meanwhile, many authorities designate them as threats to «progress» and the «formal order». This article proceeds from that tension, seeking to further understanding of the mototaxi economy, everyday mobility, and transport planning in Lima. The article begins by highlighting the ways that mototaxistas help connect the urban fabric and create space. It then critically analyzes authorities’ efforts to strictly govern mototaxistas, as situated within authorities’ broader war against «informality». As a corrective to authorities’ normative perspectives for how people should move through the city, this article argues that instead of characterizing mototaxis and other forms of transit as «informal», we should understand them as forms of popular transit.

    Más allá de los modos. La experiencia de la «movilidad sostenible» en las periferias populares de Lima
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2024-03-12) Robert, Jérémy; Pereyra, Omar
    This article discusses on the sustainability of daily mobility from the analysis of inhabitant’s practices of two popular peripheral areas of the city of Lima. It provides an analysis of experiences with the use of «sustainable» modes (walking, cycling and public transport) and «unsustainable» modes. A number of obstacles related to distance, slope or insecurity are highlighted, as well as their influence on mobility strategies and the choice of modes. The characteristics of the environment and the mobility needs in the popular peripheries do not facilitate the use of so-called «sustainable» modes, compared to «unsustainable» modes such as mototaxis, taxis or colectivos, even combis, which greatly ease the mobility of people despite constraints in terms of security and cost.

    Activarse desde la periferia. Estrategias y tácticas de desplazamiento en bicicleta y a pie en El Rincón de Suba (Bogotá)
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2024-03-12) Ducasse, Arthur; Lucas, Maëlle
    This paper intends to describe tactics and strategies that dwellers of El Rincon in Bogota adopt during their daily journeys walking or cycling. El Rincon is a neighborhood, and a zoning unit for planning (UPZ, unidad de planeamiento zonal) located in the north-western end of the city, in Suba locality. Its high population density and its uneasy-to-access topography turned out to be two main aspects of this study. The research is based on a long-term ethnographic field work (from February 2021 to July 2022). Observations of cycling and walking mobilities, semi-structured interviews and ride-along interviews were implemented to describe the strategies the inhabitants elaborate to leave El Rincón, and the tactics they use to move about in this congested environment. Walking and cycling appear to help mitigate congestion’s impacts and allow better control on daily journey’s length and conditions.

    Territorios relacionales. Propuesta conceptual para situar la movilidad sustentable en ciudades latinoamericanas
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2024-03-12) Jirón, Paola; Imilan, Walter A.; De La Barra, Victoria
    The sustainable mobility approach emerged as a way of facing climate crisis, aiming to reduce CO2 emissions. However, despite its innovative character, the strong support from international organisations and consultants, as well as national and local governments, sustainable mobility does not fully capture the complexity of urban daily living, as the understanding of mobility is generally reduced to the diverse modes of transport and prioritising those with zero emissions. From a relational approach to territories, the daily mobility approach complements that of sustainable mobility and broadens its comprehension by introducing notions like mobility trajectories, interdependence, barriers and enablers. This approach provides more complex ways of understanding contemporary dwelling practices and territorial experiences. Based on mobile ethnographic research carried out in Santiago de Chile, in pandemic and post-pandemic times, this paper presents ways in which daily mobility can complement interventions linked to sustainable mobility. This approach can unveil the political conflicts that are intrinsically part of highly uneven cities, like those in Latin America, and particularly in Chile.

    La inmutabilidad de los taxirrutas en Quito: acciones y estrategias del sector de transporte informal durante la pandemia del covid-19
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2024-03-12) Gamble, Julie
    Between March and May 2020, as cities responded to Covid-19 globally, Quito entered a phase of quarantine that immobilized the city’s public transport system. In this context, this article focuses on how informal transport services continued to operate on the peripheries to provide a mobility service in absence of public transport. The article asks: What did informal transport services such as taxirrutas do during the Covid-19 pandemic? Based on 31 interviews with taxirruta drivers, the article highlights how the sector was characterized by immutability. That is, companies did not change their routes or increase trip prices. The category of immutability, necessarily implies that invisible dynamics like adaptation and maintenance are a requisite for the sector to function without alteration. This article uncovers the strategies and tactics employed to keep a route in motion, which involves heterogeneous dynamics that depend a range of circumstances.

    La movilidad sostenible: conceptos, enfoques y realidad vistos desde un sector periférico popular del área metropolitana de Bogotá
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2024-03-12) Prada, Valentina; Demoraes, Florent; Sáenz-Acosta, Hernando
    The aim of this article is twofold. First, it provides a brief state of the art of the international literature related to sustainable mobility. Given the great diversity of approaches that encompasses the complexity of the sustainable mobility paradigm, the second part analyzes the current challenges, hinderances and prospects for maintaining and developing sustainable mobility practices in the commune of Cazucá. This study zone is a low-income neighborhood located in the south of the metropolitan area of Bogota. It is illustrative of the socio-demographic and mobility conditions that characterize many outskirts of Latin American cities. The analysis is based on census data and the latest urban mobility survey (EMU-2019). It also relies on interviews applied to key actors of the commune and inhabitants of different profiles.

    Goodbye Lima. Un llamado al desarrollo de modelos urbano-rurales, para habitar el territorio peruano
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2023-12-30) Nogales, Lucía
    The displacements produced mainly from the capital to other areas of Peru during the period of quarantine to face the COVID-19 have once again highlighted the lack of capacity of the capital to guarantee a good quality of life for its inhabitants. This article takes these displacements as a symbol of Lima's overflow, and proposes to understand and address the rest of the urban centers of the territory. After reviewing the heterogeneity of these centers, the article questions their true urban character, joining the criticism of hegemonic Euro-American urban theories, which consolidate the traditional urban-rural binomial. The article calls for the development of systems that blur or even dissolve the boundaries between urban and rural, integrating resilient urban-rural systems with a better relationship with their environment and sources of supply in order to face the great challenge of the 21st century, the environmental crisis and its derivatives.
