Resumo

In 1988 the old North of Goiás starts to belong to the State of Tocantins by act of the National Constituent Assembly. After long political arena of the creation of the State, immediately the geopolitical dispute of the setting of the Capital´s final site starts. In deciding the location of the Capital, on the right bank of the Tocantins river, near Porto Nacional, it triggers a series of problems: the inevitable loss of population and the emptying of a good part of the tasks that Porto Nacional held on the region before are simply emptied into the Capital. Thus, from a regional hegemonic position, it becomes the peripheral area of the Capital. Added to this problem, other impacts are befalling the city from the construction of the Luiz Eduardo Magalhaes or Lajeado Hydroelectric Power Station, as it is better known. At this time the seasonal tourism economy of the beach, in a short space of time, fails into decadence. The initial concern of this study was to understand how Porto Nacional city was formed for, from this point, to understand: what are the processes, actors and the stages of the production of intra-urban area of Porto Nacional city? What are the implications in its area arising from the relationship with the Capital and neighboring towns? What is the nature of the valuation of intra-urban area of Porto Nacional? To answer these questions, we stated the following objectives: analyzing briefly the production of the surrounding cities and especially of Porto Nacional; mapping the process of occupation of urban space in the city; analyzing the social agents and the processes of producing space; considering the functions that Porto Nacional performs today. To this end, a review of the history of the city was performed in order to determine the process of time and still the analysis of theories about the urban space, especially in large production on this geographic category and also on the territorial formation of the brother-states : Goiás / Tocantins. In those processes, the research was supported in goiano-tocantinense authors, besides analyzing documents and conducting interviews with residents and merchants of the city, whereas the current scientific work in the geography of the city are almost nonexistent. Finally, the discussion revealed that Porto Nacional, from a position of leadership in the region has been obliged to relate to a smaller group of local cities. This condition is imposed by the infrastructure power exercised by the Capital - Palmas- with the power of the State
