Diagnóstico da Infraestrutura de Dados Espaciais em órgãos relacionados à questão ambiental e fundiária no estado do Amazonas

Abstract

The aim of this work is to perform a diagnosis on the use of Spatial Data Infrastructures (IDE) by agencies related to environmental and land issues in the state of Amazonas. Studies related to territorial and environmental management have as an essential factor the geographical positioning and, consequently, the use of spatial data, a source of information for various analyzes. IDE enable the exchange and sharing of spatial data, thus facilitating the formulation of public policies, as it enables the integration among several actors, the spatialized visualization of information and the sharing of data. Considering that IDE are tools that have been proven to have benefits for institutions that use spatial data, there is a need for the adoption of IDE in the scope of environmental and land activities of the responsible agencies in the state of Amazonas. Through this research, it was found that Manaus City Hall has an established IDE and the Environmental Protection Institute of the State of Amazonas (IPAAM) contemplates a project to implement an IDE in progress. The other municipalities of the state of Amazonas and the environmental and land agencies of the state lack the fundamental elements that make up the five pillars of an IDE, although some of these institutions recognize the importance and potential of this decision making process.
