Resumo
In Brazil, especially at the Amazon Region, the relationship between transport and economic development has been studied since 70s with elaboration of several plans. However, due to many factors, such as the incompatibility between the proposed models of transport planning and territorial planning, the expected results were not reached. Under these aspects, the goal of this paper is to define guidelines in order to devise a multimodal freight transportation network that allows efficient transport of products in a developing region. This network was developed using natural resources and it stimulates the economic growth and development based on the Growth and Development Poles Theory and Graphs Theory. As result three networks related to three different scenarios – status quo, investment in transport infrastructure by the governmental programs, and the strategy scenario – have been elaborated and analyzed considering the operational transport costs and their spatial configuration.
