Proposta de um índice de desenvolvimento amplo municipal

Abstract

The work aims to develop an indicator of development considering variables that represent the dimensions: social, environmental, economic, political and cultural. We chose the 108 municipalities in the state of Sao Paulo considered high HDI (indicator above 0.8). The data used are from Seade for the year 2000, since this was the last year of publication of the HDI for municipalities. The methodology used in constructing the indicator will be the factor analysis, since shown that this method is appropriate when there is a significant number of variables involved. After calculation of the indicator is checked if there was a change in the pattern of development of the municipalities analyzed. Also noteworthy is that this study will be drawn maps to represent the spatial distribution of municipalities according to the classification in each dimension that makes up the index and also for the Comprehensive Development Index (IDAM).
