Abstract(s)
O envelhecimento da população ao nível mundial, mas também no panorama nacional, tem
vindo a aumentar a passos largos, colocando novos desafios à segurança rodoviária,
especialmente no que diz respeito à elevada vulnerabilidade da população idosa (≥ 65 anos),
enquanto condutores e peões, ao risco de acidente de viação. A presente dissertação, a partir
de uma metodologia científica mista, recolheu, analisou e debateu um vasto leque de dados
não só quantitativos como também qualitativos.
Desta forma, foram utilizados dados provenientes de diferentes fontes, desde logo da
Direção-Geral da Política de Justiça, da Polícia de Segurança Pública e da Autoridade
Nacional de Segurança Rodoviária (Boletins Estatísticos de Acidente de Viação e Relatórios
Anuais de sinistralidade rodoviária) acerca da sinistralidade rodoviária, nomeadamente não
só de Portugal como também da cidade de Lisboa, com especial foco para a área de jurisdição
da Polícia de Segurança Pública. A partir de uma análise holística, mas também humana, foi
possível cruzar este dados quantitativos com os dados qualitativos das observações diretas e
dos brainstormings realizados na cidade de Lisboa, capacitando a investigação de concluir
com rigor que existem diversas vulnerabilidades associadas aos idosos, mas também
fragilidades e deficiências associadas às infraestruturas urbanas e ao próprio ecossistema
rodoviário, não descurando a maior exposição ao risco por parte desta faixa etária.
A partir das conclusões desta investigação foi possível recolher um conjunto de informações
e dados imperativos à elaboração de políticas públicas de prevenção e diminuição deste
problema. Acima de tudo, aliadas à Visão Zero 2030, pretende-se que esta investigação
fomente a elaboração de estratégias, políticas e medidas que visem a construção de um
ecossistema rodoviário cada vez mais seguro, inclusivo e digno para todas as faixas etárias,
com especial foco para as pessoas com ≥ 65 anos.
The ageing of the population worldwide, but also in Portugal, has been increasing rapidly, posing new challenges for road safety, especially with regard to the high vulnerability of the elderly population (≥ 65 years), as drivers and pedestrians, to the risk of road accidents. This dissertation, based on a mixed scientific methodology, collected, analyzed and debated a wide range of not only quantitative but also qualitative data. In this way, data from different sources was used, starting with the Directorate-General for Justice Policy, the Public Security Police and the National Road Safety Authority (Traffic Accident Statistical Bulletins and Annual Road Accident Reports) on road accidents, namely not only in Portugal but also in the city of Lisbon, with a special focus on the area of jurisdiction of the Public Security Police. From a holistic but also human analysis, it was possible to cross-reference this quantitative data with qualitative data from direct observations and brainstorming carried out in the city of Lisbon, enabling the research to accurately conclude that there are various vulnerabilities associated with the elderly, but also weaknesses and deficiencies associated with urban infrastructures and the road ecosystem itself, not forgetting the greater exposure to risk on the part of this age group. From the conclusions of this research, it was possible to gather a set of information and data that is imperative for drawing up public policies to prevent and reduce this problem. Above all, allied to Vision Zero 2030, this research is intended to encourage the development of strategies, policies and measures aimed at building an increasingly safe, inclusive and dignified road ecosystem for all age groups, with a special focus on people aged ≥ 65.
