Full Article:

Studies on the university campus commonly consider its spatial particularities in comparison to the city. However, the university debate about mobility also addresses urban-related challenges, like those posed by the dependence on vehicles and incentives for active mobility. Considering internal mobility, this work explores Wi-Fi connections from a Brazilian public university to trace community trajectories and population density on campus. We adopted objective data from the built environment for the application of a walkability index. The procedures were performed using GIS and the results shared for visualization in the Kepler.gl application. The results include walkability indices for different campus sectors. The discussion focuses on the potential use of the index in promoting a more integrated and less automobile-dependent campus
