Desenvolvimento Humano dos Municípios de Mato Grosso e Mato Grosso do Sul Contidos no Bioma Pantanal

Aimed to evaluate, through the Human Development Index (IDHM) in the municipalities of the Pantanal biome, the human development of the foundation/emancipation municipal, establishing comparisons to the IDHM of the Pantanal municipalities with the Brazilian IDH and the states of Mato Grosso (MT) and Mato Grosso do Sul (MS). The municipalities of MT and MS were selected from the biome, grouped by date of foundation/emancipation in periods of 50 years. The municipalities founded in the 18th century showed the best results in the IDHM (m) and indicators of income (m) and education (m). The emancipated ones in 1913 to 1963 stood out in longevity (m). The emancipated between 1811 and 1861 had the lowest values for the IDHM (m), income (m), education (m) and longevity (m). The municipalities of MT and MS contained in the biome showed inferior results when compared to the states and to Brazil. The emancipation that does not observe socio-structural sustainability can result in the creation of municipalities without the basic characteristics of maintenance and support to human development, like Barão de Melgaço and Bodoquena. It was concluded that the human development of the foundation/ emancipation of the municipalities were not directly associated with the periods of its creation, that is, the oldest, in general, did not stand out to the younger ones, and vice versa. In addition, issues such as the profile of public management and administration, public policies, geographic location, natural wealth, infrastructure, etc. can contribute significantly to the results of the IDHM both positively and negatively.
