Resumo
The transport infrastructure plays a key role in the economic development process of countries. Throughout history, the modernization of transport promoted numerous economic advances and the integration of global territories, like the railways. In Brazil, the regional rail systems fulfill their role in the flow of primary products in the early twentieth century, with few contributions to the unification of markets, especially the internal, showing weak capacity for coordination between regions. There was overlap between the highways in this process over the railways under national policy, in which the highways becomes a priority in the movement of goods and people. In view of the current logistical difficulties due to the increasing demand for transport products (agricultural and mining), planning for the development of projects on construction and revitalization of the railway has intensified, especially from Acceleration Program Growth. In this scenario, the North-South Railway, a project initiated in the 1980s, is presented as an attempt to promote the integration of the Brazilian territory from north to south, with a length of 4197 km. The aim of this study was to analyze the influence of the North-South Railway in regional development of Goiás, especially in the center and north of the state. Therefore, we examine the behavior of circulation networks (railways) brazilian and the role of actors in this process (State and private actors) over the decades as well as the formation of Goiás networks, especially the Estrada de Ferro Goiás and the BR-153, which were important in the insertion of Goiás economy in the national productive logic. Another aspect discussed in the research related to the influence of transport in industrial agglomerations in the light of Theories of Regional Development, comprising the dynamics of economic activity in space. Finally, we show the likely impacts of the North-South Railway in the development of municipalities in the north-central Goiás from the variables product, income, employment and tax revenues. The methodological procedures based on literature for theoretical and empirical foundation, desk research and field work in municipalities that are crossed by the North-South Railway in Goiás. Descriptive analyzes of the data were performed and the measurement of the economic impacts of the North-South Railway by econometric approach. The results showed an increase in the variables listed in railway construction period in Goiás and favorable estimates when in operation, with reference to the Tocantins municipalities where the the North-South Railway is working. What is expected is that the North-South Railway is an important element in Goiás regional development towards its productive integration with relevant municipal impacts on its population.
