TerraView Social Policy – Software and Geoprocessing Course

27/06/2018

GIS (Geographic Information System)

The GIS (Geographic Information System) maintained by the CEM comprises more than 40 integrated databases, and was developed to help general users who could not count on public access to territorial information for more than two decades.

In order to allow more non-specialized users access to the data, CEM and INPE developed a free version of the software TerraView. CMS also promotes regular courses on geoprocessing, attended mostly by professionals connected to or working for public agencies.

Software TerraView Social Policy – Software and Geoprocessing Course

The new software TerraView Social Policy 4.2.2 launched in May 2014 and greatly increases the scope of possibilities for GIS technology. With a new layout, new tools and facilities for importing files, the new version of TerraView Social Policy (originally launched in 2007) is an important support in research that aims to better understand of the spatial relationships and the place of the data.

The new version of TerraView Social Policy 4.2.2 expands the opportunities to work with many different types of cartographic files and helping facilitate presentations, with the results containing numerous studies.

Available for free on the CEM website, the geoprocessing software TerraView Social Policy 4.2.2 produces spatial analysis from demographic, economic and social data. The possibility of access to TerraView - Social Policy is part of a partnership between the Center for Metropolitan Studies and the Image Processing Division of the National Institute for Space Research (DPI -INPE).

The application is part of the TerraView family of software, developed by INPE, and allows the user to view and explore geographic data. TerraView Social Policy has been customized by an institutional arrangement involving INPE, CEM and a private initiative through a company hired to develop the product from the free software. The software focuses especially on the area of social policies (education, health, housing and income transfers).

This partnership focuses mainly on attracting new researchers, technicians of the municipal administration, undergraduate and postgraduate students, and other professionals, presenting new insight into the importance of producing spatial analysis and interpretations about the social reality of our urban areas.

The creation of maps and charts is made from census data from IBGE (Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística), which, when crossed with specific information (indicators, for example) allows the identification of points to be ascertained.

For those interested in deepening their knowledge on the software, CEM also offers a course on GIS for the Software TerraView Social Policy. This course helps participants learn how to use basic tools, enabling them to explore the databases and to generate maps and graphs. Learn more about the course. 

The course is in the classroom mode.
