As atividades industriais no espaço geográfico da zona sul de Teresina-PI: uma análise acerca do polo empresarial sul

Abstract

The action of capital thus acts producing and remodeling the geographic space of the places where most companies and industries are concentrated, with emphasis on the space of the cities, produced to meet the sector's demand. Based on this understanding, the Polo Empresarial Sul de Teresina-PI emerges from this reality, where public power and the private sector establish a mutual relation of interests directed to attraction and business polarization under the presence of tax incentives that generate investments and infrastructure improvements. However, in this environment, there is much evidence of impacts of both the socio-environmental problem and the transformations in the geographic space, which enable the existence of conflicts between the population and the business sector. Analyzing this problematic, the work in question aimed, in general, to analyze the influence of investments in the South Business Pole with the industrial growth in the South Zone of the city of Teresina-PI. Going into the methodological aspects, the referring research was characterized as descriptive and exploratory, with qualitative and quantitative approaches, with the application of data collection techniques such as bibliographic research, documentary research and field research, which started with observation, photographic records, application of questionnaires and interviews, and the mapping of the study area. For this, the justifications employed for the development of the work, consist of seeking to discuss the influences of the presence of the business sector for the location and the city of Teresina-PI, so that it is possible to establish a relationship between industrial development with the presence of the impacts resulting from these facilities, both in the character of economic development and in the spatial transformations. In relation to the results obtained, it was possible to verify the presence of public power not only in fiscal incentives, but also in the direction of basic infrastructure to meet the demands of the location. It was also possible to evidence socio-environmental impacts, such as the need for a more attentive look at the needs of the neighborhood's population, which is becoming increasingly close to the place destined for the companies. Therefore, it was possible to conclude that the business sector in the city of Teresina is growing and developing, but it is important to increasingly seek a way to attract more companies not only by tax exemption, but also by having an area where they can establish themselves and develop properly, integrating public sector, private sector and population.
