Abstract

According to the current phase of globalization, also called the technical-scientific-information era, socio-spatial dynamics are increasingly intensified as a result of national and/or international hegemonic economic interests and the cultural characteristics of each space. Thus, the geographic space altered during this period is studied according to the criticality of Geography, the objective is to analyze the socioeconomic unit and the interactions of the spatial dynamics of the issue and to consider the inequalities and contradictions characteristic of a certain spatial cut. Based on this understanding, the objective of this work is to analyze the city of São José da Tapera (AL) - and its territorial dynamics, emphasizing the flows resulting from the free fair in the city. In the first chapter, we talk about the history of the emergence of cities and how they evolved over time. The second chapter analyzes the city of São José da Tapera (AL) as the scene of an evolution of both the upper and lower circuits, still strongly present in it. For that, field surveys were carried out with questionnaires for merchants, customers and drivers of vehicles transported to fairs, objects and goods. These questionnaires take into account the variables of that theory, so the analysis of the collected data allows understanding the dynamics of the fair and other activities in the primary sector according to the theory of circuits. The third chapter critically considers, through the explanation of graphs and answers to the applied questionnaires, what the subjects belonging to the city and that represent its main sector of financial activity: the primary one.
