Abstract

The study analyzes the dynamic networks  in the economic, technical and social dimen- sions, that indicates the change of relations with the economic and political objectives. It is stated that the networks evolve over time, emerging new structures and forms of relationships, with various degrees of flexibility, innovation and culture, as opposed to a view that a network  born and die. The study examines the evolution of the Village of Paranapiacaba environment, in São Paulo, Brazil, sin- ce its creation to the current state, through documents, observation and interviews and conclude that the Village went through four different networks configurations. Now the predominance is tourism objective, which regulates the social and business relations. The results support the affirmative of networks evolution.
