SUMMARY:

Brazil experienced, in the second half of the 20th century, one of the most intense and accelerated urban transitions in the world. This change occurred quickly, causing the country to go from a rural environment to an urban and metropolitan nation, where a large portion of the population began to live in large cities, consequently population movements began to change, migration began to leave the scene for give space for “short distance” movements. Known as commuting movements, these are configured as daily movements of people who leave their municipality of residence to another, with the aim of carrying out some activity, commonly for work or study. Associated with this we have the changes that also occurred within the scope of public policies aimed at Education in Brazil, mainly those related to the expansion and decentralization of Higher Education, which contributed to the increase in articulations between cities due to the spatial mobility of the population, with emphasis on pendulum movements for study reasons. Therefore, this study aims to: analyze changes in the commuting movements (origin and destination) of undergraduate and postgraduate students at Higher Education institutions in the Central South Mesoregion of Ceará, in terms of the configuration of flows and the sociodemographic characterization of these students, in a comparative perspective, through the 2000 and 2010 censuses. The importance of studies in the Central-South Mesoregion of the State of Ceará is highlighted, given the scarcity of studies specific to non-metropolitan areas and this brings to light the relevance of the region for understanding the demographic dynamics of Ceará, the Northeast and Brazil, in general. The research will use microdata from the Demographic Census of the years 2000 and 2010 from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics IBGE, capturing information about the Central South Mesoregion of the state of Ceará. To process the data, SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciense) will be used to capture information about commuting for study reasons and also to outline the sociodemographic profile of these commuters. The results show that: the commuting movements carried out by higher education students (undergraduate and postgraduate) in the Central South Cearense Mesoregion did not have such an expressive representation in this mesoregion in the year 2000 and that this reality started to change in 2010; Paraíba is configured as the northeastern state that, but receives students from this Mesoregion, even in the year 2000 when this number was still not very significant, this state already stood out; Furthermore, it was found that the decentralization of higher education had impactful effects on the commuting of the Central-South Mesoregion, as it contributed to the increase in Intramesoregional, Intermesoregional and Intraregional flows of students that make up the studied region.
