Mapeamento colaborativo integrado à gestão de riscos em Belo Horizonte: uma avaliação no contexto das cidades inteligentes

Abstract

The implementation of innovations in Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in the urban context makes cities more interconnected by promoting initiatives such as crowdsourcing and collaborative mapping, which collect and transmit information through the citizen himself. In Belo Horizonte, this initiative is present in the PBH APP, which allows users to notify different types of incidents, generating digital cartography of the urban infrastructure. This work investigated the possibility of collaborative mapping being used as a tool incorporated into risk management through the superposition of information obtained by PBH APP and the Military Firefighters Corps of Minas Gerais, using the Natural Breaks, Combinatorial Analysis, and Multicriteria methodologies to generate quantitative maps of this numerical confluence. It was found that the application can be used as a predictive tool for risk and disaster management, contributing to urban resilience and directing Belo Horizonte toward Smart Cities.
