A REDE URBANA EM GOIÁS: UMA ANÁLISE DO PADRÃO ESPACIAL NA PRIMEIRA DÉCADA DO SÉCULO XXI / THE URBAN NETWORK IN GOIÁS: AN ANALYSIS OF SPATIAL PATTERN IN THE FIRST DECADE OF THIS CENTURY XXI.

Abstract

The urban network corresponds to the articulation of urban centers through its functions. From considerations of this concept will be discussed in this paper the spatial pattern of the urban network in Goiás, being guided by the analysis of secondary data studies of Areas of Influence of Cities (REGIC) and other surveys released by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE). In this sense, the objective is to understand the genesis and development of the urban network of Goiás, highlighting its main building blocks. It presents the assumption that the presence of two cities in the territory of Goiás - Goiânia and Brasília - provides a private setting at the national level, indicating the absence of intermediate urban centers (regional capital) as a result of the centrality exercised by the two cities.
