Resumo
The restructuring of the Brazilian urban space is a topic widely discussed by professionals from different areas of knowledge. In general, it is observed that the expansion of transport and communication infrastructures in the mid-twentieth century has a great influence on this process. These structural changes have re-signified the Brazilian urban network causing a population and economic redistribution to medium and small urban centers. In this sense, there was a diversification in the functions of the medium cities in the urban network. These became places of significant attractiveness, mediating the connection between smaller urban centers and large cities, even on a regional scale. Thus, this research aimed to analyze how commuting and other demographic and economic indicators can assist in the observation of the influence of the functions of the Barbacena, Muriaé and Ubá (Cities of the state of Minas Gerais) in the urban network, as well as the characterization of these cities as averages. To achieve this goal, the 2000 and 2010 Demographic Census microdata were used. Another form of data extraction from past Demographic Census was the IBGE Automatic Recovery System (SIDRA), as well as the Number of Local Industrial and Trade Units and Services in the database of the Institute of Applied Economic Research (IPEA). A matrix of relationships was used as clipping, which included all the cities that could have a connection with the central cities. The results showed that demographic indicators are relevant variables to identify the regional dynamics of the core municipalities and their respective intermediation function. In addition, it was observed that commuting is a phenomenon with recent intensification in these non metropolitan urban centers. In this research, communting data indicated that there are relations of complementarity and domination between the main nucleus and those that are tributary to them. However, in general, the coverage area of the main municipalities was restricted to the member municipalities of their respective relations matrix. Therefore, it was concluded that such characteristics corroborate the characterization of these urban centers as regional medium cities.
