Perfil do desenvolvimento rural: uma análise multivariada e espacial para o estado de Minas Gerais

Abstract

As agriculture becomes more relevant in the national sphere, there are incentives for the emergency of new inputs and technics searching, primarily, the income growth. This productive approach may have social consequences, such as income inequality and issues regarding the environment, being able to aggravate territorial disparities. To determinate the existence of heterogeneity patterns in Minas Gerais, the Rural Development Index (RDI) was created as a result of technical-environmental, political-institutional, social, economic and demographic criteria for the years 2006 and 2017. The multidimentional feature is captivated by the Factor Analisys and the results indicate the existence of productive and structural discrepancies. These patterns were identified by Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis, confirming the presence of significate clusters across the space and demonstrating the concentration of a high-high group under the west-south area and a low-low group located in the north of the state.
