Ecossistemas de mobilidade escolar inteligente: propostas para a secretaria de estado de educação de Minas Gerais

Abstract

This dissertation analyzes the Innovation Ecosystems in Smart Urban Mobility in the state of Minas Gerais, considering their institutional and legal concepts, and their interfaces with urban planning, science, technology, and innovation. The study begins with the observation that the urban development historically adopted in Brazil, oriented towards individual motorized transport and disordered urban growth, has contributed to the worsening of congestion, road insecurity, and a reduction in the quality of life in cities, generating a crisis in urban mobility. The relevance of daily commutes, especially those between home and school, is highlighted, as they represent a significant portion of urban trips and directly influence the road system, particularly during peak hours. School mobility is understood as an important component of urban mobility, requiring articulation between public education and transport policies, with the aim of improving urban mobility and access to education through more sustainable commutes. The theoretical framework is based on a systemic approach to urban mobility, understood as physical, social, economic, and territorial displacement. This article discusses the strategic role of Science, Technology, and Innovation in socioeconomic development, highlighting the importance of the Legal Framework for Science, Technology, and Innovation and the National Urban Mobility Policy as guiding normative instruments for urban planning. Smart urban mobility is presented as an integrative strategy, based on the use of Information and Communication Technologies, data analysis, and innovative solutions, to optimize flows and increase the efficiency of transportation systems. From the perspective of the quadruple helix model, smart urban mobility involves the coordinated action of the public sector, the private sector, academic institutions, and the community, emphasizing the importance of partnerships for the development of integrated solutions. Methodologically, the research adopts a mixedmethods approach (qualitative-quantitative), based on a literature review and document analysis, aiming to identify and characterize the main innovation ecosystems in smart mobility in Minas Gerais. It is concluded that the integration between innovation, urban planning, and public policies contributes to more sustainable, inclusive, and efficient mobility models, promoting regional development and improving the quality of urban life through the institutional strengthening of state and municipal public policies.
