Disparities and inter-regional Characteristics of municipalities of the state of minas gerais

In order to ascertain the existence of socioeconomic structures significantly different from each other, this study made use of statistical techniques that allowed, based on socioeconomic conditions, public finance and economic activity characterize the municipalities of Minas Gerais and investigate the inter-regional disparities within the state. Through the theoretical framework that revels the themes Regional Disparities and Intervention of the State and New State Planning and Promotion of Socioeconomic Development, there are the relations between the state’s role in the context of federalism and socioeconomic development of the municipalities, in addition to revel the main theoretical sources that deal with the emergence of disparities and their motivators. So the results confirmed the occurrence of significant differences between them and as explained in the theoretical framework also confirmed that the Minas Gerais’s territory is marked by differences in economic, social and public finances, as demonstrated by the existence of two groups of municipalities. It should be noted, moreover, a spatial concentration of the municipalities, whose socioeconomic conditions, public finance and economic activity are better than the others. Among the main considerations can be pointed out the existence of a relationship between the analyzed variables, since those municipalities that have a greater economic activity have better socioeconomic conditions and public finances, proving the importance of the market in the provision of the property and with the State be a catalyst for socioeconomic development but, on the other hand, contributes to the emergence of disparities, in theory, should be combated by the State.
