Abstract

The present research is by nature the scientific analysis of urban and socioeconomic phenomena in the city of Tocantinópolis - TO, located in the Bico do Papagaio region in the extreme north of the State of Tocantins, in the Amazon region. It aims to understand their socioeconomic influence on the surrounding municipalities, seeking to identify which of them depend directly and / or indirectly socioeconomically on that city. The research aims to supply the need for studies and bibliographic materials on the socioeconomic and territorial issues that are found in the Bico do Papagaio region, in the extreme north of the State of Tocantins. The few works developed and published on the subject are still unsatisfactory in view of the range of socio-economic and socio-territorial problems in that region.
