Georeferenced Digital Cartographic Base of the RMSP Schools 2016

The school base contains files containing digital geo-referenced cartography of the public and private schools of the São Paulo Metropolitan Region, having as original source information contained in the School Census 2016 (INEP / MEC). The original data was received in tabular database format. These databases were then standardized and georeferenced by the CEM Technology Transfer Team. Georeferencing consists of assigning geographic coordinates to each tabular database record, through operations performed in a Geographic Information System (GIS) environment. This process uses the geo-referenced CEM site base that, in a GIS environment, performs the binding of addresses to a geographic coordinate system, expressed generally in latitude and longitude.

The school base contains files containing digital geo-referenced cartography of the public and private schools of the São Paulo Metropolitan Region, having as original source information contained in the School Census 2013 (INEP / MEC). The original data was received in tabular database format. These databases were then standardized and georeferenced by the CEM Technology Transfer Team.

This process uses the geo-referenced CEM site base that, in a GIS environment, performs the binding of addresses to a geographic coordinate system, expressed generally in latitude and longitude. This database was used in the Schools application, specially formulated for the general public, where information about the performance and operating conditions of public schools in the São Paulo Metropolitan Region is obtained. The CEM schools app can be accessed freely at: http://centrodametropole.org.br/escolas/
