Abstract

This reserch focuses on analyzing the relation among the deforestation, the economic growth and the interaction of the cities and micro regions Alto Teles Pires e Sinop, located in the state of Mato Grosso, to the economic development, between the years of 1988 and 2010. This approach has been realized by using as methodology, primarily, the obtaining of the deforested and forested areas in the cities and micro regions studied during this period, every two years, by satellite and geo-processing images. After, the obtaining and organization of the official source data were made followed by the planning and calculations of the attractiveness and outsourcing of them. At this stage, the linearization was performed to estimate the population in years without any base on official data, followed by the deflation, the log transformation and the GDP (Gross Domestic Product) linearization, and the Added Value of Agriculture and Husbandry Sector, industry and service industry. Thereafter the Outsourcing Index (IT), the Interaction Index of a Space Point (IG) and the Attractiveness Index for the Consumer Market Potential (IA). The results have shown that the micro regions of Alto Teles Pires and Sinop had different conducts each, in view of their area locations (Cerrado and Amazon), which implied a distinct economic growth over the period analyzed. In the first decade (1988-1998), also the first decade of the civilian government, the Alto Peres Micro region had already shown a stronger relation and deforestation degree than the Sinop Micro region. In the second period (2000-2010), became clear that the growth of the commercial inter-relation and the service industry in the cities of the Sinop Micro region and the reinforcement of cities in the biome Cerrado in which the agro-industrial sector was implemented in the territory.
