| Abstract | |
The emerging importance of agribusiness in the Brazilian economy and the discussions of the ideal development model for the expansion areas in the agricultural frontier has been one of the main topics of debate for the future of the country. In a world ruled by an economic system each time more complex which demands fast and adequate answers to its logic, it is imperative the efficient distribution of the production, optimizing costs and valuing the places circumscribed by the performance of the big companies. The expansion of these areas, which began in the 50\'s, has provided a territorial complexity susceptible to geographic analysis, configuring a circulation subsystem that narrows the bond of flows in parts of the Middle-West and North regions to the rest of the country. The proposal of this work starts from the hypothesis that a settling net of the material flows, composed by the interlacement of roads and river roads vectors in strategical points, is being set up to attend the insertion willings and the growth of productive circuits (mainly soy, wood, mineral resources and bovine cattle) in these areas, yet known as unprovided of movement. Based on the geographic space theory, we set the focus of our study object on the territorial fluidity in these \"portions\" of the national territory and analyze the constitution of the technical nets which faces a frequent schedule related with the transformations in the geographic environment. Behind this technician-scientific-informacional installation in the current period, a picture composed by elements related to the psycosphere - technosphere duality is drawn, wich try to justify the outside rationality events to the place. Besides trying to demonstrate and explain the configuration of the so mentioned net (\"quadrilateral\" Manaus - Belém - DF/Goiânia - Porto Velho), as a parallel analytical concern we intend to make a reflection on the emergence of a possible territorial cohesion that still fortifies the tenuous profile of the national market. Thus, it is suitable to ask how the advance of the agricultural frontier is being developed and who will it really benefit. (AU) | |
