ABSTRACT

The proposal of this article is to make an análisis of incidence of the road network in urban growth processes, using as parameter one of the most important indicators of urban dynamics, the Basic Service Infrastructure Network. Evolution and growth trends around the roads were evaluated based on the Multipurpose Cadastre and integration of dynamic models based on Multi-criteria and Cellular Automata evaluation, to generate Spatio-Temporal simulations and representations of present/future urban transformations near main communication roads.
