In the late years, the number of children who go to school by active modes of transport has decreased significantly. This fact causes several problems both in the area of urban transport (creating traffic congestions and accidents in the school neighborhood during the periods of starting and finishing classes) and in the area of public health (increasing the indices of child obesity). In this context, the objective of this research is to identify which factors influence the mode choice of elementary school children to access the schools. The focus of the research are the public elementary schools, because the geographic area that these schools traditionally serve (neighborhoods) permits that the trips be made by non motorized modes, for a great fraction of the students. The case study was developed in the city of São Carlos, SP with students that attend Municipal Elementary Schools. The survey was carried with the students´ parents by means of questionnaires about the children s personal characteristics, as well as their perception of the route from the residence to the school. The data showed that several factors influence the mode choice for the children trip to school, like the perception of safety and security in the neighborhood, the automobile availability in the residence, the parents habits and culture in relation to the motorized modes of transport and the distance for the residence to the school (the factor that proved to have the strongest impact in the parents decision). The discrete choice models were chosen for the estimation of the modal choice because they are largely used in transportation studies. Among the models that were tested, the multinomial logit was the most adequate. The calibrated model showed satisfactory and significant results, demonstrating that the chosen approach is adequate to the analysis of the mode choice for the trips of children to school.
Diagnostico da utilização de sistemas de informações geográficas na gestão de redes de água e esgoto por órgãos municipais nas mesorregiões de Araçatuba/Bauru (SP)

The governing manegement bodies of sanation in Brazil are looking for development, mostly about infrastructure tecnology. Controling and manegement of water supply and sewage, witch are part of governing sanitation , usualy are tasks of the same body in the city, and the optimization of these services have been much discussed latly, since the informations number is big enought and its right use is excential for taking effective decisions, and consequently, saving time and money. The GIS Geographic Information System - tecnology has been used in several segments since some a time.And about sanitation is the same because mostly of the contries goverment bodies have showed already convincing results that the investments in that tecnology brings advantages with integration of the data in a smart way and easy handling but the GIS Geographic Information System - uses is not common in small cities. The target of this work is to find out, using defined parameters with field researching, the GIS Geographic Information System - uses at the manegement bodies from Araçatuba/Bauru-SP, about its utilization advantages and if there were difficulties and wich, the principal reasons of its not use and tendencies for the future.
