Abstract

This paper aims to characterize the municipalities of Rio Grande do Sul State (Brazil) unde!
the economic activities point of view and to exemplify the use ofWeaver's model as an accurattool to this analysis. AlI the selected variables are expressed by percentual values concern with the rate of commodities circulation. The use of Weaver model has initially produced Z1 groups of economic activities. After new grouping we found three groups only: a) predominance of agro and cattle-breeding activities (69,8% of the municipalities),b) predomin~nce of industrial activities (24,6% of the municipalities) and c) predominance of trading actiVlues (5,6% of the municipalities). The Weaver model was used also as criterion to distinguish four groups of functional complexity: monofunctional (47,8% of the total), bifunctional (29,8%), trifunctional (19,8%) and polifunctional.
