Abstract:
This paper analyses through the use of the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), the influence of several urban parameters in the expansion of natural gas distribution in the Brazilian market. The logic based on pair combination allows the verification of relationships such as demographic density and distribution of family income, residential and industrial concentration, distance between areas that could be served and others that are effectively attended by natural gas, defining through the attribution of a priorities scale, the decisive aspects in the selection of areas that must receive the natural gas expansion. The model intends to propose the integration between the city’s profile and the natural gas use, using the advance of natural gas on São Paulo City as a specific case study. As a conclusion, the model provides the neighbourhoods expansion rankings, verifying the coherence of the proposal based on urban parameters analysis through the test with suburban districts of the São Paulo city.
