Abstract

BARTOLI, Estevan. Small cities in the amazon: place, situation and the territorial systems in Barreirinha (AM). GOT [online]. 2020, n.19, pp.132-157. ISSN 2182-1267.  https://doi.org/10.17127/got/2020.19.006.

The aim of this paper is to characterize Barreirinha (AM) as a small town, describing your urban genesis, your functions, your roles and aspects of the site that condition your situation: polarization with the metropolis Manaus and Parintins (considered a middle city), and the expansion of relations with districts and communities of your hinterland. It was verified that the flows are conditioned by two river channels, Andirá and Paraná do Ramos. As from the application of the analytical model URTS (Urban-Riverside Territorial Systems), the roles of local subject networks and their articulations via river transport were investigated, identifying a pattern of territorial organization with intense dynamics of riverine and riverine territorial systems in the lower river of Amazons.

Keywords : Small Town; Site; Situation; Territorial systems.
