Uma proposta para apoiar o planejamento urbano a partir do uso de dados gerados na elaboração de instrumentos de política pública

Abstract

One of the existing goals in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is to increase inclusive and sustainable urbanization. Achieving this goal is already considered a challenge, since in Brazil many cities have already gone through, and still go through, a process of expansion and urbanization. In this context, the concept of urban planning emerges, understood as one of the ways to systematize this process, since it allows a better allocation of financial and human resources, in addition to defining actions and objectives in favor of solving collective problems. For this, urban policy instruments are defined, closely related to urban planning, since urban policy instruments are the tools and mechanisms used to implement planning and achieve the goals established for the city. The objective of the research presented in this master’s thesis is to investigate solutions that support decision-making in the context of urban planning. For this, data collected in projects for the elaboration and updating of urban policy instruments were analyzed so that these data could be used in the elaboration of a solution. The methodology used was the Design Science Research Methodology (DSRM), the artifact proposed and developed was a decision support system in the form of a visualization panel of information about the spatial composition of a municipality in the interior of Minas Gerais . For this, concepts of geographic data analysis and information visualization were used. The panel was evaluated by a group of potential users and the hypothesis that the use of data generated by urban policy instruments can help municipal urban planning was corroborated by the responses obtained. With the study, it was possible to highlight the importance of the data considered, the potential of the proposed artifact, in addition to identifying opportunities for future work.
