Espacialização dos casos de dengue na região metropolitana de Belém nos últimos 20 anos: um estudo de caso na relação da dinâmica demográfica com o número de notificações da doença.

Abstract

The present study aims to compare the demographic dynamics with the number of dengue cases in the Metropolitan Region of Belém over a period of 20 years. To carry out the activities, it was necessary to seek information on the notifications of the disease within TABNET, a platform that organizes the data collected by DATASUS, part of the demography of the region worked was also extracted from this platform and another part was sought directly from the IBGE. The organization of the worked elements was done through a spreadsheet in Google Sheets and processed within the Qgis 3.34.3 software. With the results obtained, it was possible to visualize and understand the behavior of the endemic according to the demographic dynamics in the eight municipalities during the periods studied. In this way, it is understood that the application of geotechnologies is essential to help several areas of science in addition to engineering, facilitating the resolution of dilemmas and decision-making.
