Sociospatial mobility through informal road transport

Abstract

The promotion of meetings and the search for the satisfaction of fundamental rights (health, work, education, leisure etc.) that can’t be supplied in one place gives rise to a need for increased mobility among people, a reality which is easily perceived day by day in the social spaces of the North of Minas Gerais, Brazil. This human migration, as well as introducing new behaviors and social relations, changes the way in which displacements occur. Currently, 2016, the migration of people from the cities in the northern region of Minas Gerais takes place in large numbers through the informal transport, which operates outside the Brazilian legal system. The proposal of this article is to analyze the socio-spatial mobility in the North of Minas Gerais, using the informal road transport, taking into account the pole city of Montes Claros (MG). For the production of this article, we used the literature review, analysis of secondary data drawn from public and private institutions, as well as magazines articles, newspapers and social networks (facebook), data collection on primary sources through observation and open interviews.
