A IMPLANTAÇÃO DE DISTRITOS INDUSTRIAIS COMO ESTRATÉGIA DE DESENVOLVIMENTO ECONÔMICO LOCAL

Abstract

The Brazilian municipalities in the pursuit of local economic development, adopt a strategy of establishing clusters of companies. For implementation and evaluation of this strategy it is necessary to know the characteristics of these clusters: industrial districts, clusters, local clusters etc. The municipality Andradina/SP/Brazil, with 55,510 inhabitants in 2012, created its first industrial district in 1982, aiming its economic development. However, the results expected were not achieved due to the strategies and policies adopted and the companies responses. Law was enacted in 2011, focused on local economic development, including the creation of new districts and granting of benefits. In this direction, the main objective of the research that supports this work is to evaluate, in confrontation, contexts and conditions in which districts were proposed, in two "moments". Elements are taken as indicators for assessing the implementation of these districts: planning, public policy and productive vocation of the town and region.
