Uma metodologia dedicada ao monitoramento da infraestrutura urbana da cidade de Fortaleza-CE através de um aplicativo baseado em crowdsourcing

Abstract

The growing urbanization process observed in the Brazilian metropolises in the last decades has contributed to the accentuation of the so-called urban problems. The use of tools based on crowdsourcing allows the engagement of the population and can assist those who are responsible for finding solutions to the disorders mentioned. This work aims to develop a system that allows the creation and provision of a database on existing problems in the urban infrastructure of the city of Fortaleza, based on the voluntary contribution of its residents. Using computer programs, an application for mobile devices (Android and iOS) has been developed with the aim of generating a channel of communication between users and the system, as well as collecting and displaying information of interest. To store them, a database capable of dealing with geographic objects was modeled and deployed. As a result, a functional tool was obtained, which offers the main resources foreseen by the proposed method. The tool can map and present the problems, differentiating them by type and georeferencing them based on the location informed by the user at the time of sending the information.
