Abstract: The main objective of this work is to investigate the present and long-term spatial distribution of the logistics sector in Brazil. In order to do so, this study seeks to answer the following questions: i) how is the logistics sector organized in Brazil? that is, is there evidence of logistics clusters?; ii) what is the long-term perspective of this organization? The Logistics Potential Mapping Model (MapLog), inspired by Krugman's Core-Periphery Model, will serve as an analytical tool to verify the long-term spatialization of the logistics sector. The results point to a change within five decades (2015-2065) of the locational pattern of the logistics sector focused on industry but not for the logistics sector focused on agriculture.
