REGIONAL FORCES AND URBAN FORMS: GROWTH DIRECTION

Abstract

The possibility of influence that the regional system may have on the urban forms that cities tend to assume is discussed. The difference in scale involved in this vision, which ranges from the regional scale, passes through the municipal scale, and given this situation that presents the way in which urban form, city and region are approached today, it appears that the Studies lack greater connection and assessment of influences between different scales and impacts. This research is carried out through the proposal of a methodological guide, and the instrument developed to obtain results was the collection of data and construction of variables of interest, which can provide a useful tool to study the influence of spatial effects on aggregation of spatial interaction models and how much they can contribute in different ways to substantial achievements in spatial econometric studies, in addition to suggesting statistical tools that infer the value, intensity and probable hierarchy of average flows at certain levels of aggregation of real and estimated available variables.
