Abstract

Mining currently has occupied important role on the world stage due to pressure on the use of mineral resources brought about by the so-called third Industrial Revolution and by the green revolution. These events have provoked a worldwide race for mineral resources, considering that several minerals were used intensively in the production of modern communication tools, as well as to expand agricultural production through your use in the production of agricultural inputs. In this sense, countries with important mineral reserves have seen global corporations interests reemerge for its natural resources. The Brazil has reaffirmed your role of exporting this raw material for the world at the same step that has diminished their barriers to capital international miner's performance in your territory. In this scenario, the State of Goiás assumes role of importance, occupying the third position among the States that contribute most to the extraction of ore in the country. Large conglomerates have settled in Goiás in recent years, especially in the first decade of 2000. In view of this context, the North of Goiás assumes strategic role in this scenario, especially the region of Vale do Rio Crixás, proposal for a study of this research. This region is formed by a total of 11 counties and contributed with 50.51% of the value of mineral production. In this sense, the following research aims to analyze the General socioespaciais and economic changes in the region of Vale do Rio Crixás-Goiás, caused by your incorporation by the mining capital of the year 2000 to 2014. For this, the following methodological steps were outlined: literature search to books, articles, theses and dissertations that deal with the subject of mining; technical survey by analysis of laws, Government and institutional projects and documents; survey, tabulation and data analysis using reports from government agencies and databases of the major national and state research agencies; production of maps in order to chart the information obtained; development and implementation of research instruments (questionnaires and interviews) and performing field work. This is classified as basic research, qualitative, quantitative and descriptive. This study concluded that the region of Vale do Rio Crixás presents a diverse dynamics of other regions of the North of Goiás. You can see the effects of the great mining industry in your economy due to the high economic growth of some municipalities.
