LOGÍSTICA DE TRANSPORTES E MODERNIZAÇÃO DO TERRITÓRIO: A IMPORTÂNCIA DOS PLANOS VIÁRIOS NACIONAIS PARA A EFETIVAÇÃO GEOESTRATÉGICA DA MESORREGIÃO DO TRIÂNGULO MINEIRO/ALTO PARANAÍBA

Abstract

This project has the purpose to analyze the influences of the National Road Plans from 1874 to 1951 on the geostrategic organization of the mesoregion of the Triângulo Mineiro / Alto Paranaíba, West of the State of Minas Gerais, since these were fundamental for the installation of a territorial dynamics with direct consequences on the interior of the country, which inserted this mesoregion into a strategic integration condition. The main focus of the project has been the plans designed and / or implemented during the First Republic and the Vargas Era, assuming that they were constituted in fundamental contributions to the design of modern road networks built after the decade of 1950. For this, the article is structured from the survey and analysis of the road plans of the period in evidence. Furthermore, the understanding of the context that gave rise to these plans, we analyze the local strategies adopted in order to create for the region of Triângulo Mineiro a specific dynamic centered on transport logistics. The understanding of the process of installation of road systems in the region is an important point to understand the role of the dynamics installed in the Triângulo Mineiro.
