The space of culture in Minas Gerais: territorial clusters, socioeconomics development and regional concentration between 1920 and 2010

Abstract This paper aims to analyze the temporal evolution of cultural clusters in Minas Gerais. To this end, the cluster method was applied to the data from the 1920 State Yearbook, the Profile of Municipalities in 2006 and the Demographic Census in 2010, using variables related to socioeconomic development (literate population and home access to sewage) and culture (number of movie and theaters), taking the municipality by unit of analysis. As in 1920 the state of Minas Gerais had 178 municipalities and 853 in 2010, the geographic distribution of 2010 was made compatible with that of 1920. The application of the method generated four clusters in each year, which showed almost through a century an association between indicators of opportunities for access to cultural consumption to higher percentages of the literate population and the highest rates of households with access to the sewerage.摘要 本文旨在分析米纳斯吉拉斯州（Minas Gerais）文化集群的时间演化。为此，本研究以自治市为分析单元，选取与社会经济发展（识字人口占比、家庭污水处理设施接入情况）及文化领域（影院数量）相关的变量，采用集群分析法处理1920年《州年鉴》、2006年《自治市概况》及2010年人口普查数据集。鉴于1920年米纳斯吉拉斯州共辖178个自治市，2010年该州自治市数量已增至853个，因此对2010年的地理分布数据进行适配调整，使其与1920年的统计口径保持一致。经该方法分析后，各年度均生成了四个文化集群。结果显示，在近一个世纪的时间跨度中，文化消费可及性指标与更高的识字率、更高的家庭污水处理设施接入率呈现显著关联。
