Abstract

This work presents as a general objective the development of a methodological procedure that allows the identification of sub centers based on the variable trade and services. The justification is related to the need to develop a methodology that makes it possible to locate, characterize and identify sub-centers of trade and services, seeking a theoretical and applied contribution on the study of urban centralities. The procedure seeks to identify sub centers based on cut-off values, on a district scale, using the variables total of trade and services companies and density of trade and services companies. The city of Anápolis, in the state of Goiás, is the case study for testing and validating the proposed methodological procedure. As a result, two sub-centers were identified in that city. In the light of the theoretical framework addressed, the analysis of the identified sub centers made it possible to locate the expanded center of the city and a popular sub center.
Keywords: Methodological procedure. Identification. Subcenters. Trade and services.
