Abstract

This paper aims to make a comparison of two South regions’ forest base in Brazil, the regions of Lages/SC and Pelotas/RS. The analysis focuses on the regional development inserted in the forest productive chain systemic context with the intention to visualize the perspectives of the Pelotas and Lages regions. The Lages region presents itself in the upstream and downstream of the forest productive chain, whilst the Pelotas region is in embryonic phase of development. The conclusion is that for the Pelotas region it is necessary to wait for the new positions in order to define the future scenes of the forest base sector. And for the Lages region, the forest sector is the main activity of last fifty years.

Key words: forest productive chain, regional development, comparative study.
