Representação cartográfica e banco de dados do reconhecimento geográfico de endemias do bairro da Liberdade, Benevides-PA

Abstract

The problems in the health area are mostly occurring in a concrete space and in most cases well delimited, where the diagnosis, the monitoring, the locations are of fundamental importance to the planning of the management organs. The proximity of territorial cartography with the health area becomes important in that the information analyzed becomes instruments of great value for a more inclusive territorial management, since they bring idea of the dimensions of the information Territorial. This study aimed to demonstrate in a practical and economical way the creation of a simple geographic database, through free tools, the creation and updating of an easyto-update digital map for the endemic area. To this end, we used the data from the geographic recognition of the endemic agents of the municipality of Benevides-PA, transferred through the technical assistance of the endemic diseases coordination through the Health Surveillance Directorate (DEVS). The data comprise the national Vector Control Program (PNCD), the yellow Fever and Dengue control Program (PCFAD) and the daily registration of the Antivectorial service through the bulletins used by the agents. For the implementation of the database, the QGIS software was used, which is a free computational tool. It was concluded that geotechnologies are useful tools for updating the cadastral database, where the mapping of the reality of the technical register of endemic diseases is a fundamental part of an inclusive action and closer to the reality of the Territory. In addition, the generated data will contribute to update the base plant of a locality for endemic diseases whenever possible.
