MOBILIDADE PENDULAR E MIGRAÇÃO NA METRÓPOLE: PROPOSTA METODOLÓGICA APLICADA À REGIÃO METROPOLITANA DE BELO HORIZONTE

Abstract

The aim of this article is to propose a methodology for joint analysis of commuting and migratory movements, a proposal that will be applied to understand these phenomena in the Metropolitan Region of Belo Horizonte (RMBH). The necessary information was obtained from the database from the 2010 Demographic Census Sample of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE). In a preliminary analysis, it was observed that: in the RMBH, 34.56% of last-stage migrants made commuting for work reasons and of these 65.6% had their previous destination as their preferred destination; and that while pendulum movements tend to occur in a periphery-center-periphery flow, migratory movements in the metropolitan scope tend to occur in a center-periphery flow.
