Abstract
This thesis, under the title Relationships between public mobility policies, social practices and individual autonomy. The case of the Integral Mobility Plan (PIM) of the city of Rosario for the period 2010-2019, sets out to examine the relationships that can be established between urban daily mobility practices in the city of Rosario (2010-2019) based on the public policies implemented in the framework of the "Integral Mobility Plan" (PIM) by the Ente de Transporte Rosario –today, Ente de Movilidad Rosario (EMR)– and the development of the individual autonomy of users. In order to analyze these relations, we will investigate, among other aspects, the understanding of both the experts’ policy-makers and policy recipients have of "autonomous mobility", and how this understanding is linked to the design of public policies and to everyday urban mobility practices. The research mainly assumes a qualitative methodological strategy, prioritizing a micro-sociological level, following a hermeneutic level, - double hermeneutics of social sciences by A. Giddens
The thesis is part of the field of study related to urban displacement, no longer focused on transport but on mobility processes and this –mobility– from the perspective of accessibility. It is also part of the field of urban studies, from a sociological problematization, based on the central guidelines of the theory of A. Giddens's theory of structuration, capturing –in part– the instances of generation/obstaculation of autonomy that the policies framed in the PIM enable in the addressees.
In order to be able to capture the levels of social integration –co-presence– and systemic integration –non-co-presence– pursued by this research, in the terms of structuration theory, and given the complexity of researching in everyday life, and in pointing out the definitive limits of the field and its work; and added to the fact that, the mobility turn has generated a whole new theoretical and methodological field in the social sciences, specifically, from an accessibility perspective, led us to explore a new methodological instrument such as the Travel Diary, which gives centrality to the "voices" of the travellers about the experience of moving around the city; in addition to key informant interviews and documentary analysis –from primary and secondary sources–.
Among the most significant conclusions of the thesis, in relation to the objectives and hypotheses of this research, we can point out that in the expert teams of the mobility entity, in all stages (2010-2019), an engineering-type understanding predominates, under a rationalmathematical register of the practice of urban displacement, implying a decorporalised and/or fragmented interpretation of the experience of the everyday journey that was applied to the design and implementation tasks of the PIM-Rosario. This meant disregarding aspects of the unconscious dimension –desires and motives– and the reflexive dimension –knowledge, affectivity, sensoriality, perceptions– of the practice of travelling, affecting in different ways – enabling/constricting– the individual autonomy of the recipients, in different instances of their journeys, according to the different corporealities, mainly, and also the socio-economic conditions.
In terms of generating autonomy from the implementation of the PIM Rosario, we can point out –among others– that the incorporation of ICT’s and urban interventions to the mobility system, have had an impact on commuters' travel practices, expanding selfgovernance decisions based on the reliability provided by these implemented expert systems, but mainly on rational, efficiency-based registration of the recipients' travel practices. These higher levels of autonomy were observed, significantly, for the female travellers in the sample –female corporeality– although not so when socio-economic conditions are disadvantaged, regardless of gender, insofar as no type of mobility that makes it possible to travel long distances in a reasonable amount of time in the city of Rosario –excluding the walking–, managed by the EMR, is free of charge.
Among the aspects that hindered the development of individual autonomy on the part of the PIM-Rosario, or failed to contribute to its expansion –as is one of its central objectives– we can mention that the engineering perspective applied by the EMR to plan and implement public policies not only fragments the practice of mobility, but also invisibilises groups of people in relation to bodily attributes or structural conditioning factors, by working on the concept of the "average user". Among the invisibilised or "absents" –as we have called these travelers– are those who are disadvantaged in socio-economic aspects and in formal education, and who are identify with a feminine corporeality –in the terms of the heteronormative paradigm– and/or permanent disability.
Finally, corporeality was identified as a predetermining experience in the understanding of the traveller's autonomous mobility, as a counterpoint, or beyond of what is understood by the technical teams and planned by the EMR. This condition can be observed in different instances of the practice of travelling where aspects of the unconscious or reflexive dimensions of the experience of moving in the city, such as the "mutual knowledge", "practical knowledge", motivations, desires, among others, are prioritized when planning a journey or adopting positions during it.
