The Production of Goiás Territory

This paper analyses the production process of the territory of Goiás, from its genesis to its current configuration, which implies analysing the factors that led to its occupation and settlement, comprising different configurations throughout its formation process, highlighting the dynamics of its borders and the social and economic actors that acted on its territory. The production process of Goiás territory will be approached from its socio-spatial arrangements, characterised by the economic cycles that have adjusted the social actors and their territory to great mobility, with constant dynamics of its territorial divisions, which infers to Goiás a process of compacting its territory over time, thus making it essential to analyse the territorial, urban and demographic issue, in the different cycles of occupation and settlement, since the historical inequalities within the limits of Goiás are what have produced the fragmentation of its territory, resulting in the current territorial configuration.
