Resumo
This dissertation considers the spatial distribution of traffic accidents reported in the years between 2005 and 2013 in the townships of Fundão, Serra, Vitória, Vila Velha, Cariacica, Viana, and Guarapari, which together make up the metropolitan area of Grande Vitória (RMGV). To accomplish this study, a temporal and spatial analysis of traffic accidents occurred in this region was performed, analyzing the accelerated growth of the automotive fleet, the population growth and the roads infrastructure. In addition, the main risk variables responsible for causing traffic accidents were listed. The appropriate theoretical foundation was built from the transport Geography, which provided the subsidies to contextualize the importance of geographical spatial analysis on the phenomenon worked here. Furthermore, costs generated by this phenomenon were estimated, reaching the figure of more than R$ 900 million of annual cost due to traffic accidents in RMGV in 2013. Using geostatistics and GIS techniques in the areas of concentration of traffic accidents on RMGV were identified, as the types of collisions and impacts, rollovers and overturning and trampling. Some conclusions from the analysis were: 1) in addition to the increase in quantity and concentration of occurrences, there was also, in the course of the historical series, the spreading of the traffic accident records in the region of RMGV, and 2) accidents, according to their typology, concentrate on different areas of the studied region.
