Abstract

The adoption of active sustainable mobility habits is understood as a form of non-motorized mobility that only needs human physical effort to be carried out and has been increasingly used by society. The present study aimed to analyse the perception of the academic community of the Campus Dois Irmãos of the Federal Rural University of Pernambuco (UFRPE) to a shared bicycle system. The Survey-type questionnaire was adopted as a methodological strategy, structured in three parts and applied to students, professors and technicians with a link to UFRPE, and which were sent by email to the entire academic community from September 13 to 26, 2022, having identified the profile of the respondents, their vision and their acceptance of the proposed system. The research participated in 13 courses among the 27 that make up the graduation, with a total of 144 respondents among students, technicians and professors. The results showed that 78.47% of respondents spend up to about 40 minutes or more, daily, travelling the distances of the academic space, and approximately 86.80% travel on foot for 4 or more days a week, while 55, 55% of the interviewees affirm that they agree to make use of the Bicycle Share System, while 90.28% agree that a Bicycle Share System within the University is important and 88.19% agree that the use of this system can contribute to improving the mobility of the academic community.
