Importance of the forest sector in the potential of attracting people. In this work, a modification of Newton's gravitational model was performed to determine the attraction potential of people in cities. It was proposed to add weights, defined by variables that make up the agricultural sector, which allowed us to identify the importance of each sector segment. Through the proposed modeling, it was identified that the Nominal Value of Forest Production presented the greatest potential for attracting people in the municipalities of the Second Parana plateau region. The data and modeling framework presented are useful for defining strategies, especially for investments in the agricultural sector, as well as for describing the economic growth of a region in terms of its productive structure and identification of regional growth components.
