Descrição

ABSTRACT This work aimed to study the spatial autocorrelation of the total static capacity storage, the total number of warehouses in 2013/2014 (CONAB) and the average of the total grain production (soybean, corn 1st and 2nd crops and wheat) in the harvest years 2008/2009 to 2013/2014 (SEAB) in Paraná State, Brazil. The study was based on Moran's global autocorrelation index, Moran's local and Moran's bivariate correlation. It was possible to identify regions with low and high total grain production. There was positive spatial autocorrelation for the Total Static Storage Capacity (TSSC) and Total Quantity of Warehouses (TQW). For the total grain production, significant spatial autocorrelation were found. The total static storage capacity showed similarity between the studied regions. When evaluating the bivariate spatial correlation between Total Production of Harvested Grains (TPHG) in relation to the total static storage capacity and total quantity of warehouses, the presence of positive spatial correlation was observed. The results indicated that Moran's global autocorrelation and local indexes showed significant patterns of spatial autocorrelation, as well as the bivariate spatial correlation indexes in the studied variables.
