Avaliação da regionalização das regiões de planejamento do estado de Goiás

Abstract

This academic study analyzes the regionalization in the state of Goiás from multiple perspectives, including homogeneity, economic polarization, and developmental road axes. The analysis of homogeneity addresses the uniformity of regional characteristics, crucial for geographic and economic classification. The study delves into the use of K Means clustering, highlighting its effectiveness and simplicity in regional data grouping and the enhancement of public policies. The importance of road axes is emphasized as a key factor in defining regional economy, suggesting the expansion of the road network to promote comprehensive development of the state, especially in the northern and northeastern regions. The analysis of economic polarization reveals the significance of pole and sub-pole municipalities in regional development, indicating areas of concentrated economic activities and other underdeveloped regions, emphasizing the need for balanced public policies. It concludes that despite challenges, the Planning Regions of Goiás are consistent, and regionalization should be a strategic tool for the state's development, both at the general and regional levels.
