O processo de descentralização de Uberlândia (MG): análise do eixo comercial João Naves de Ávila

Abstract

The present work has an objective to understand the process of decentralization of tertiary activities and the formation of new centralities from the analysis realized of Commercial Axis João Naves de Ávila, located in the city of Uberlândia (MG). To achieve this, a rescue of the existing relations between city and commerce was carried out, with the objective of understanding the historical formation of Uberlândia, a city located in the mesoregion of Triângulo Mineiro and Alto Paranaíba. After theoretically resorting to bibliographies that relate to the theme of this work, was used the Ribeiro’s Filho (2004) methodology, carrying out a survey of the land use of Avenue João Naves de Ávila, with its 8.5 kilometers long, where 129 blocks were identified in their totality, with different tertiary activities. After analyzing the data obtained, it was observed that the decentralization of tertiary activities is still underway on the avenue, resulting in different degrees of functional intensity, as well as in configuration of different patterns of locations of trade and service activities. In this sense, were classified six sectors: Central I, Central II, Special, East I, East II and Far East, heterogeneous among themselves, but which express the materialization of centrality in other spatial forms as a result of the urban restructuring process, to the point of transforming an avenue into a specialized, extensive and widely dynamic Commercial Axis in the city of Uberlândia (MG).
