GARCIA SCHILARDI, María Emilia. Implications of the Spatial Distribution of the Public Transport Market in an Intermediate Argentine City. Metropolitan Area of Mendoza. Territ.

Intermediate cities fulfill an important function in territorial integration and mediate between various urban centers, counting on the advantage of desirable characteristics for sustainability. Considering that the mobility system is a key component of the urban system, that favors and enables its sustainable development, it is of great value to study of the collective transport system in these territories. This work generates contributions to improve the operation of this service in an intermediate city in Argentina, with the objective of knowing the spatial distribution of the collective transport market in the metropolitan area of Mendoza. A quantitative methodology is used, through statistical and cartographic techniques. The results indicate that in the major portion of the territory the market operates in equilibrium, implying that in the periods of greatest demand there is an unsatisfied need, accentuated in the urban periphery.

Keywords : Intermediate city; mobility; collective transport; sustainability; market.
