Resumo
Since the 1970s, the service sector has been the most significant economic activity in
the composition of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and in the generation of formal
jobs in the state of Goiás. Besides the economic importance, the strong tendency
towards the spatial concentration of the activities that are part of the services sector
contributed to the recognition of a research problem. Considering this, we propose to
conduct a geographical study on the services sector in Goiás. The research aims to
recognize the patterns of distribution of tertiary activities and the spatial implications of
this ordering. Our hypothesis is that the distribution of the activities of this economic
domain is fundamental determinant in the regional hierarchy of Goiás. To reach this
objective and verify the hypothesis, we used methodological procedures such as
bibliographic review, secondary data collection and information mapping. The research
can be defined as a descriptive study of statistical character and spatial analysis. As our
objective is to analyze the evolutionary process of the spatial distribution of services, the
time limit covers more specifically the period from 1940 to 2015, and includes a historical
digression on the genesis of the industry in Goiás. In this way, the spatialization of
services was divided into two distinct moments: the first, called past urbanization, covers
the period from 1940 to the end of the 1980s; the second term, known as recent
urbanization, covers 1990 to 2015. This temporal limit allowed us to understand the
current organization of the service sector in the state, which would not be possible if we
adopted only more recent time limits. In the end, this research demonstrates how the
distribution of service sector activities defined the current structure of the state urban
network.
