Abstract:

Objective: To present a proposal for measuring the level of urbanicity in Brazilian cities based on datathe census 2010. Methods: Ecological study that used the official classification of IBGE (urban rural) and Veiga (2002) (Small, Medium and Large). A classification tree was used for prediction with Cross Validation. Two models of analysis were tested. In model 1, the independent variables were the physical and social characteristics of the cities, and the outcome was the classification in the IBGE criterion. In model 2, in addition to the variables used in model 1, the Veiga (2002) criterion was included as a covariate. Sensitivity, specificity and accuracy were calculated. Results: Model 2 showed statistically significant gains in the prediction of the level of urbanicity, increasing the sensitivity and accuracy estimates in the sets used for testing. Large cities were automatically classified as urban in model 2. However, to predict the urbanicity of other cities, Veiga (2002) criteria were combined with other physical and social characteristics of cities. Conclusions: The combination of indicators in model 2 allowed the definition of quantitative criteria to create typologies for classifying the rural urban to the Brazilian municipal territory, similar to what occurs in other countries.
