Since the 1970s, the service sector has been the most significant economic activity in the composition of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and in the generation of formal jobs in the state of Goiás. Besides the economic importance, the strong tendency towards the spatial concentration of the activities that are part of the services sector contributed to the recognition of a research problem. Considering this, we propose to conduct a geographical study on the services sector in Goiás. The research aims to recognize the patterns of distribution of tertiary activities and the spatial implications of this ordering. Our hypothesis is that the distribution of the activities of this economic domain is fundamental determinant in the regional hierarchy of Goiás. To reach this objective and verify the hypothesis, we used methodological procedures such as bibliographic review, secondary data collection and information mapping. The research can be defined as a descriptive study of statistical character and spatial analysis. As our objective is to analyze the evolutionary process of the spatial distribution of services, the time limit covers more specifically the period from 1940 to 2015, and includes a historical digression on the genesis of the industry in Goiás. In this way, the spatialization of services was divided into two distinct moments: the first, called past urbanization, covers the period from 1940 to the end of the 1980s; the second term, known as recent urbanization, covers 1990 to 2015. This temporal limit allowed us to understand the current organization of the service sector in the state, which would not be possible if we adopted only more recent time limits. In the end, this research demonstrates how the distribution of service sector activities defined the current structure of the state urban network.
