Thus, it has a relational perspective of governance to cover the connections between the social actors of urban mobility in the municipality of Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. The cities have experienced a deterioration of the urban displacements that as a result has more jams, accidents, pollution, all this affects the quality of life. One of the main conductors of this is the public acts and the investments focused on the individual motorized transport. In Natal, there is difficulty in enlarging the mobility policy perspective, that focus in prioritize collective modes and non motorizes modes of transportation, and is a model based on the car containment. The policy is composed of three pillars: actors, institutions and ideas, thereby, we used the governance concept of Eduardo Marques (2013), that emphasizes the interconnection between the state and non-state actors that are involved with the local policy making, we put to the relational analyses of Gurza Lavalle, Castello and Bichir (2008) to create a theoretical and methodological base to the work. The objective was to analyze the relations among the urban mobility policy actors of Natal, by having as focus the perception of the own participants. The specific objectives were the identification of the implicant actors, the distinction in the way they perceive urban mobility, and lastly the investigation of the way the relations between them occurred. The method we used was based in the bibliographical research, data collection and semi-structured interviews. The results obtained show that the relations between social actors are complex and can range from cooperation to more direct confrontation. The connections may be intergovernmental, intersectoral, interinstitutional or territorial. Finally, we see that cooperation is seen mainly among civil society groups involved with active mobility and the environment, public transport groups were more isolated and faced a major obstacle, in view of other interests that hinder regulation of public transport in Natal. We believe that the focus on relationships can reveal more behind the scenes that compose the public policy of urban mobility of Natal, presenting new aspects of its production.Acesso AbertoPolítica pública de mobilidade urbanaAtores sociaisGovernançaRelaçõesNatal-RNmasterThesisCNPQ::CIENCIAS HUMANAS::GEOGRAFIA::GEOGRAFIA REGIONAL
