Abstract

The Superintendência de Desenvolvimento do Centro-Oeste – SUDECO – played an important role in the production in the state of Goiás. For nearly a decade, during the 1975/1985 period, Goiás took the center stage in two big programs implemented by this body: the Program for Development of Areas of Cerrado - POLOCENTRO – established with the objective of occupying areas with predominantly cerrado vegetation cover, incorporating these lands into the agricultural frontier, owing to the use of modern techniques of production; and the Program for the Geographical and Economical Region of Brasilia – PERGEB – who directed actions to develop the areas bordering the Federal District, forming a “buffer zone” in order to preserve the political, administrative and cultural characters, originally conceived for the federal capital.
