Desenvolvimento regional no semiárido: o caso do médio sertão de Alagoas

Abstract

In Brazil, a municipality makes up the entire space where a population grows, including the urban area, the surrounding areas of the suburbs and rural areas. The municipality is the smallest administrative division in terms of its own representative bodies. This final work is from the perspective of productive and population growth, in addition to its economic development. The proposed study is dedicated to an analysis of approximately six municipalities in the Middle Sertão of Alagoas from a comparative between the years 2010 and 2021, highlighting the value of the average monthly salary of companies, livestock, their agricultural production, GDP, local development policies and income policies of the regions chosen as the object of study, in addition to their social policies. This work also proposes a historical context on the development of Brazil and Alagoas, as well as a brief history of the chosen municipalities. They are: Santana do Ipanema, Pão de Açúcar, Jacaré dos Homens, Ouro Branco, Dois Riachos and Senador Rui Palmeira. The municipality of Santana do Ipanema in particular is included in the analysis, due to its urban center role in the distribution of services to municipalities in the middle hinterland of Alagoas, such as livestock, family farming and milk as the main services of economic activity.
