Abstract

The Petroleum and Natural Gas Exporting Counties Bordering the Main Production Zone of the Campos Basin Organization (Ompetro), founded in 2001, includes nine coastal municipalities of the State of Rio de Janeiro. The development of productive activity Í€“restructuring, increased sophistication and diversification of production and consumption of servicesÍ€“ based on the development of the oil industry starting in the mid-1970s, has led to a series of transformations in the region. This article aims to analyze the process of the formation of a new urban spatiality, emphasizing population mobility between these municipalities between 2000 and 2010. To achieve this, the magnitude of commuter mobility was measured, estimating the leading indicators of the impact of such mobility on the populations of origin, and analyzing the socioeconomic and demographic characteristics of the workers who commute in this manner on a daily basis.
