CONTRIBUTION TO THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF JALAPÃO TOCANTINENSE

Abstract

This article aims to propose a list of guidelines to plan and guide the orderly and economical occupation of large vacant and idle spaces in the Jalapão region on a sustainable basis. To this end, a characterization of the region was carried out, relating the needs for this occupation with the productive potential and with the requirements for the sustainable use of its natural resources. The study concludes that the proposed guidelines have ample possibilities for planning and guiding the orderly and economic occupation of Jalapão on a sustainable basis, but the decision to materialize the proposed guidelines into specific activities and the speed of their implementation will depend on coordinated and synergistic actions of the state and municipal public power and the private initiative, being necessary that the State Government exercises its inducing function, stimulating the investment and creating the conditions for such implementation.
