ASSESSMENT OF THE COMPLIANCE OF METROPOLITAN AREAS IN BRAZIL WITH LABOR COMMUTING CRITERIA
Abstract
The article deals with the study of metropolitan areas in Brazil, geographical features of their delineation and the evaluation of their compliance with common criteria. The concept of metropolitan areas is based on the economic relations between different parts of a city, which could be identified by labor commuting. An attempt was made to reveal labor interconnections within metropolitan areas by direct and indirect methods based on the statistical analysis and quantitative methods using geostatistical models (autocorrelation of
median income analysis). Many metropolitan areas in Brazil have specific regional features and unlike those in the USA and other countries do not correspond to theoretical criteria of labor commuting. Local conditions and institutional factor play a significant role in the process of their delineation. It can be said that this process is of certain engineering and planning nature.
