Abstract

As atividades económicas não se distribuem uniformemente em todo o território. Como tal, a concentração geográfica das atividades económicas tem despertado um grande interesse na comunidade científica, na sequência de exemplos famosos como Silicon Valley (Califórnia), Route 128 (Boston), Cambridge (Reino Unido), o estado federal de Baden Wurttemberg (Alemanha). Dada a importância desta matéria, geralmente aceite como uma prioridade no quadro das diversas políticas de desenvolvimento económico, o objetivo deste trabalho é medir e descrever o padrão de distribuição espacial dos principais setores da atividade económica em Portugal. Para isso, seguimos a metodologia de (Guillain & Le Gallo, 2010), combinando o Índice de Gini locacional com uma Análise Espacial de Dados Exploratória, aplicada aos dados do emprego por setor e por municípios em 2009 e 2010. Esta abordagem tem a vantagem de introduzir uma dimensão espacial nas medidas habituais de concentração, procurando assim determinar o padrão de localização de cada setor de atividade e medir a correlação espacial.
