摘要：The increase in population in the state of Boa Vista at the end of the 20th Century and beginning of the 21st Century has led to new areas being occupied, thus expanding the urban fabric and creating the necessity for more zones where commercial activities are to be practiced, in order to tend to the demands of this growing population. Thus, the central area has been undergoing a decentralization process with regards to its tertiary activities, giving rise to new “sub-centers” in the urban environment. The area of this study, the Raiar do Sol district, is located in the Western zone of the city of Boa Vista-RR. According to the last census, undertaken in 2000 by the IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics), the district had 2,755 residents, whereas the current population of the district is estimated at 5,224 residents, according to the latest compilation by data collection instruments, carried out by the IBGE in 2007. Thus, this study analyzes the dynamics of commercial dispersion within the city of Boa Vista-RR, from the formation of new “sub-centers” and/or commercial streets, specifically focusing on the commercial area located in the Raiar do Sol district. Research for the study was carried out in three stages: collection of data pertaining to the subject matter, field work and analysis of the collected data. The results are expected to serve as a source of research for future studies, as well as for the application of public policies for the commercial sector of Boa Vista.
