The need for establishing urban mobility policies that favor pedestrians, which are the most vulnerable elements in the transit system, is known. In this sense, the study aimed to identify the pattern of pedestrian preferences on sidewalks, using the Walkability Index and Stated Preference technique. The methodology developed to achieve the objective is composed of the following steps: (i) definition of the study area, (ii) Decription of the study area, (iii) definition of variables, (iv) data collection, (v) calculation of the Walkability Index, (vi) data processing of the stated preference survey, (vii) analysis of results and definition of guidelines. A case study was carried out in the central sector of Goiânia (GO) in order to validate the presented methodology. Thus, the study proposes to investigate pedestrian preferences on sidewalks in order to provide subsidies to assist the planning of pedestrian-oriented mobility systems.
