RESUMO

This job aims to understand the economic and social transformations of the Baixada Santista, especially since 1970. The hipothesis of this work is that the dynamic of its cities do not behave as a metropolitan one, but as a nuclear area with a diversity of economic activities and another two sub regions that theirs demographic and economic dynamics depends only on coast tourism activities. The study shows, from the economic aspect, that until the beginning of this decade the region had increased the unemployment and had a great decline in the investments due to the environmental problems and the restructure of the Brazilian Public Sector since 1990. These issues have weakened the induction power that the seaport facilities and the industrial valley of Cubatão had once in the region. From the demographic perspective, its decentralization enhanced due both to the suburb process of the of the social of lower power of purchase and the increase of the coast tourism economic activities of the most remote cities (Bertioga, Praia Grande, Mongaguá etc). Recently, the regain of the economic growth of the country in 2004 and the beginning of the oil extraction of Petrobras cause a considerable increase in the employment and investment in the region. Although, the actual word economic crises turns into doubt the several productive investment projects that are been promised for the region
