Rotina para aplicação da tecnologia de Sistemas de Informações Geográficas SIG voltada à utilização em Sistemas de Defesa Civil.

Abstract

Brazilian cities concentrate 82% of population. Out of this total, 5% live in subnormal habitations and subhuman conditions. A common feature to this kind of habitation is the irregular occupation of both public and private areas, normally concentrated in valleys, slopes, hills, clandestine lots, among others, jeopardizing the environment and causing risks of life for the inhabitants themselves and others as well. Consequently this causes a decrease in the quality of the urban life and specially a burden to the Government as to the budget for basic amenities. This study analyses the specific application of the Sistemas de Informações Geográficas SIG technology, directed to the utilization in the Sistema de Defesa Civil, in order to offer a tool for planning that enhances the method of identification, monitoring and contingency of critical event situations, being applicable in several physical means and conditions in episodes of the Defesa Civil . On a parallel, practicable and applicable information can be obtained in the area of SIG operation, through a routine consultation.
