Abstract
The dissertation is the result of a research about the lotto gambling in the territory of Salvador
city during the last terms of 2002 and 2003. The methodology basis was inductive with
documental, bibliographical and field research. The main goal of the research was to
categorize Salvador’s urban inner space from the analysis of the relations among the several
different neighborhoods over the city through the lotto gambling. The different types of
games are: Numbers Forecast (Mega Sena, Lotomania, Quina and Dupla Sena), Tickets
(Instantânea and Federal) and Sports Forecast (Loteca and Lotogol). These different types of
games enabled the analysis of the different kinds of people profiles that are attracted do these
games. With these elements at hand, some of Salvador’s territory characteristics were
described answering the research’s main questioning: the lotto gambling in the different
neighborhoods of Salvador may or may not help to draw the territorial dynamics and the
territoriality of Salvador? The theoretical basis and the field work had its development mainly
from the researches of Walter Christaller, with these concepts: territory, territory dynamics’
relations and urban center. At the end was seen the lotto gambling spots identified, map and
classified by neighborhood e by the type of game in four categories: the 25% most visited, the
ones with 25% to 50%, the responsible for 50% a 75% of visits and the ones with 75% to
100% of visits. From the 25% most visited to the last (75% to 100%) it is possible to see a
decay of centrality in the neighborhoods and also a decay of importance in the population of
Salvador. That shows the hierarchy of neighborhoods in the city and also the dependency of
one another in their relations. Confirming in this way the central places theory referred from
Walter Christaller.
