PHASE I: 2001-2005


From 2001 to 2005, CEM, headquartered at Cebrap, had as partners for the development of its Research, Transfer and Dissemination of Knowledge Projects, within the scope of the Cepid/Fapesp project, the following institutions: Fundação Seade, Faculty of Philosophy, Letters and Human Sciences (FFLCH) at USP, Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism (FAU) at USP, School of Communications and Arts (ECA) at USP, National Institute for Space Research (Inpe) and SESC/SP.


A. RESEARCH AND KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER

The creation of a Geographic information system group was a basic requirement for the activities of the CEM/CEPID project.
The group aimed at offering technical support for the construction of databases, particularly georeferenced data, necessary for the development of research activities and knowledge transfer. The databases were set up for: 1. Public interest databases, such Census tract and addressable street cartographies; 2. Specific applications of ongoing projects, such as location of schools, cultural facilities, schools, churches, polling places, etc; 3. Knowledge transfer and the production of methodologies for the use of georeferenced data to government agencies responsible for planning and implementing public policies.
