The influence of the field in the formation of cities: An analysis of the cities with the highest value of agricultural production in Mato Grosso
Public Policies, Urbanization, Sustainability
The analysis of urban public policies has become a very effective tool for determining parameters that directly interfere in the management, development, and urban planning system. In this aspect, this research aims to analyze the demographic projection of the cities of Mato-Grosso in parallel with their agricultural production values in the period from 2015 to 2020, according to data from the Municipal Agricultural Production (PAM) survey, in addition to verifying compliance of its Master Plans compared to the City Statute (Law 10,257/2001), as an analysis of public policy for urban planning. In this research, data from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics, documents related to public policies made available by municipal governments, and data from bibliographic research from related studies were used. The correlation test between the variables of population projection and production value showed low significance, demonstrating little relationship between population growth and agricultural production value. The results showed the need to review some points of the Master Plans - since it is carried out, by law, every 10 years -, and only one city is not in compliance with all aspects provided for by law, with the others showing great concern with sustainable development in its Master Plans.
