Memórias e histórias de Itaguari-GO: entre o tempo e o espaço (1946-2018)

Abstract

The urban formation and the social and spatial transformations that occurred over time in Itaguari, Goiás, show how the urbanization of the city was determined by the combination of multiple favorable historical factors. Among them, we can mention the expansion of the agricultural frontier; the strong colonization of Mato Grosso Goiano; spontaneous colonization; the emergence of urban agglomerations from troop landings; and religiosity. However, the influence of political power on the population growth of Itaguari cannot be forgotten, an urban nucleus raised to the status of a city as a result of the 1988 Constitution. The preservation of Itaguari's urban history and cultural heritage is confirmation of the importance of studying the minorities. Based on the data obtained, the results showed that the formation of the urban agglomeration of Itaguari interfered in the way of life of the Itaguarina population, increasing the levels of urbanization. It also ratified that religiosity greatly contributed to the founding process of the urban agglomeration, given that the emergence of Itaguari is closely related to the creation of a religious heritage, such as the location of an old cemetery. Finally, it proved that the urban space of Itaguari developed over time and is currently in a state of growth, given its socioeconomic consolidation and population growth
