GEOANALYTICS APPLIED TO THE CONCEPT OF SMART CITIES

Abstract

The use of georeferenced data has become increasingly indispensable, along with the concept of data integration, which is inextricably related to Smart Cities, since it seeks to exploit the full potential of available data to create solutions in the form of public policies, for example. The objective of this study is to identify and analyze, through multiple case studies, the ways of using georeferenced data integrated with other data, i.e. GeoAnalytics, and how they are applied in each of the scenarios, highlighting the main differences and similarities of application, the source of the information and its potential benefit to the environment. As an example, the case "Operation Love Serenade" is one of the four applications selected, dealing with the use of georeferenced data to carry out social oversight of spending involving public money.
It was observed that the government, in all spheres, is a rich source of data, through Open Data policies. In addition, georeferenced data are widely used with cartography techniques and are valuable tools for building public policies and for purposes of commercial interest, presenting various forms of application integrated with other technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence.
