Geoportal como alternativa à gestão de parques públicos: estudo de caso no Parque Municipal Vereador Mauri Chapinotti (Matias Barbosa – MG)

Abstract

The modern world is currently facing an unprecedented crisis, reflected, among others, by the disharmonious relationship between natural systems and complex human activities. Cities materialize in the dialectical urban space this complex relationship between nature and human activities, and with their disorderly growth they witness the loss of green areas and the degradation of public parks. As a result, cities lack agile and efficient methodologies to manage such places of public interest, such as parks and green areas and, in this sense, GIS (Geographic Information System) offer the user a wide range of tools and procedures that can assist in making intelligent decisions, based on in geoinformation. The geoportal is an instrument for storing and managing geographic data, in addition to being an efficient spatial information repository and viewer. That said, the present work aimed to develop a geoportal for the Parque Municipal Alderman Mauri Chapinotti, located in the city of Matias Barbosa (MG), in order to assist in its management and planning. The methodology of the research was based on the review of specialized literature and on obtaining and manipulating spatial information relevant to the study area and its storage, manipulation and final treatment using the ArcGIS Pro desktop solution (version 3.1). Then, the making of a webmap in a repository via ArcGIS OnLine was developed and, later, the geoportal was made from the Experience Builder and its tools for final editing of geospatial applications. With the final result, it was possible to verify that the geoportal presents itself as an important instrument for visualization and interaction of spatial data, not only for the public park, but for the city itself. By integrating data from different government agencies and complementing them with the data produced in the survey, the possibilities of developing public management of green areas and urban parks via such a platform, the geoportal, are promising. The geoportal also contributed to the beginning of a possible public policy for the production and management of spatial data for the city of Matias Barbosa (MG), which did not exist until the closing of this study.
