Análise do deslocamento pendular para o trabalho do município de Colombo para Curitiba (PR)

Abstract

This paper analyzes commuter movements in the metropolitan agglomerate of Curitiba,Paraná. In methodological way, through the census data of 1980 and 2000 and semi-structured interviews, it is observed a significant daily movement of people from Colombo to Curitiba due to their working activities. Along the text it is stressed that these commuter flows interfer in long historical processes, where men and women move, along generations, in uninterrupted and unconclusive movements due to a process marked by regional productive modernization. In the 1970s, they were rural migrants for the urban centers, now they emerge as inhabitants of the metropolitan periphery and are employed in urban domestic services of Curitiba. It is concluded, through this daily come-and-go movement, that the metropolitan scale breaks its administrative and political limits for the worker’s circulation but, at the same time, the cities are configured by different economic functions, what forces us to think in united political actions between places and city inhabitants.
