Abstract

The municipality of Caucaia, located in the State of Ceará, has been showing a great population growth, resulting in a significant urban expansion accelerated in recent years. In this context, it has developed a Geographic Information System (GIS) with the main objective of realizing the socio-environmental and auxiliary activities related to management and land use. In designing the system, we used orthophotos at scales 1:20,000 (area of the city) and 1:2,000 (urban area of the seat), generating a proposed grouping of cartographic data mapped at the level of detail. From the GIS, one can perform analyzes and queries (spatial or tabular), allowing the visualization of geographic data and optimizing the search of information, contributing in a direct way in making the correct decision on the part of public managers. A point to note is the potential for future system upgrades, and the same dynamic.
