The federal highway BR-060 is 1329.3 km long and connects the Federal District to the states of Goiás and Mato Grosso do Sul. In Goiás the path between the cities of Goiania and Anapolis is integrated with the BR-153.The same happens in Mato Grosso do Sul, the path between Campo Grande and Bandeirantes, which is integrated with the BR-163. Along your route, it is possible see that the highway in question takes different roles related to regions that is crossing. This motivates us to think in a central problem: how a technical network is related to the social production of the territory? Whit the goal to understand the BR-060 role in the territorial dynamics of the Brazilian Midwest, we propose a geographical reading that can propose visualize different uses of the territory, that produce different space legends. Initially we seek to contextualize the implementation process of the BR-060, to better understand the spatial area of research. And later attend to examine two outstanding space legends: Goiânia-Brasília path and the agro-industrial complex path of the Southwest Goiás. The methodology used was quantitative and qualitative procedures, literature, field research and documents analysis and secondary data. |
