Abstract

The city of Guanambi stands out in centre-south Bahia for economic, political and infrastructural aspects as a regional pole. Its importance is linked traditionally to trade and services provision with medium complexity, such as education and health to other municipalities for a variety of its surroundings. In this article we aim to analyze the new centrality of Guanambi (BA) through education with a focus on higher education institutions present in the city in 2012. The methodology for achieving this was the analysis of literature sources and the collection and analysis of statistical data of the institutions surveyed. The results obtained confirm that Guanambi is the most important urban centre in the region for higher education, a service with high complexity, and this reinforce its centrality.
