Brazil Socio-Geographic Division
- Brazil Socio-Geographic Division
The Brazil Socio-Geographic Division is a slightly different division than the Brazilian Division by Regions. It separates the country into three different and distinctive regions:
*Amazônia Legal
*Centro-Sul
*Nordeste
This does not separate the country by borders of states. The north of Minas Gerais, for example, is in the socio-geographic division of Nordeste, but its southern part is in Centro-Sul.
In the economic, social, historical, cultural and geological point of view, this division is much better than the division by Regions. However, it is not very used, mainly because it is unofficial; all official information by IBGE is listed by the criteria of regions. The division by Socio-Geographic similarities is used mainly in universities and private companies, and it is little mentioned at regular school (grades 7-10).
