ANALYSIS OF THE DESCRIPTIVE MEMORIALS OF THE MUNICIPALITIES OF THE STATE OF AMAPÁ - THE CASE OF PORTO GRANDE, CALÇOENE AND AMAPÁ Abstract: This paper presents an analysis of the descriptive memorials of the municipalities of Porto Grande, Calçoene and Amapá in the state of Amapá. These memorials directly influence the legal limits of the municipalities, their areas of coverage and the materialization of their perimeters. To carry out the study, methodological procedures were followed. First, the spatialization of the geodesic landmarks described in the descriptive memorials in the Geographic Information System. Then there was a conference of what was specialized with what was in the description. The objective of the work is to portray the existing reality with respect to issues related to municipal boundaries using geotechnologies to identify incompatibility with regard to the descriptive memorial and the existing cartographic base. As a result, it was possible to identify several inconsistencies during the spatialization of the municipal limits of Porto Grande, Calçoene and Amapá. From the information contained in the descriptive memorials, thus showing the need to revise the municipal limits. Keywords: Municipal boundaries; Spacialization; geotechnologies; cartography.ANÁLISIS DE LAS MEMORIAS DESCRIPTIVAS DE LOS MUNICIPIOS DEL ESTADO DE AMAPÁ - EL CASO DE PORTO GRANDE, CALÇOENE Y AMAPÁResumen: El presente trabajo presenta un análisis de los memoriales descriptivos de los municipios de Porto Grande, Calçoene y Amapá, en el estado de Amapá.

Mexico is a country that requires the construction and expansion of infrastructure to increase the competitiveness of its economy. Building this highly competitive logistic platform has had an impact on Mexico’s cultural and social heritage. In the State of Morelos, the municipalities of Cuernavaca and Jiutepec considered that sustainable development could be integrated with heritage preservation at the time of land use plans’ designing and adoption. Hereby described, a geographic information system-based predictive model, differentiating areas by their potential for different types of resources, is suggested as a solution to protect Mexico’s heritage within a uniform permitting and compliance process.

Waste Dumps

Most Brazilian municipalities are small, i.e., with less than 50,000 inhabitants. In the State of Goiás, for example, 91% of the municipalities are small. Of these, only 4% have their municipal solid waste (MSW) disposed in authorized landfills. Thus, the present study aimed to propose a municipal solid waste management facility (MSWMF) shared between two small municipalities of the microregion of Chapada dos Veadeiros, in Northeast Goiás. The reason for selecting this microregion is that it is composed only of small municipalities that use waste dumps for the disposal of their MSW. For this purpose, the areas subject to approval or restricted for the installation of a MSWMF were identified with the aid of a geographic information system (GIS). Also, the host municipality (HM) of the MSWMF proposed for Campos Belos and Monte Alegre de Goiás was defined with the use of mass geometry methodology. According to the results obtained, 59% of the territories of these two municipalities that will integrate the proposed MSWMF are restricted for the installation of landfills, and Monte Alegre de Goiás was selected to host the landfill.

Overdose Deaths

Introduction:The opioid epidemic is overwhelming communities across the United States. West Virginia (WV) has been devastated, heralding a 86% increase in deaths from 2012-2016, and over 1,000 deaths last year as per WV Health Statistics Center. Treatment centers and providers have emerged throughout the state to provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT). The impact of these clinics on the opioid abusing population is not yet fully understood.Aim:Utilizing Geographic Information System (GIS), a comparison of MAT provider locations versus regions of historical overdoses can indicate areas of deficiency. If no providers emerge in underserved counties, overdose deaths in those areas will continue to rise.Methods:Maps were created using current DEA-X licenses in WV registered through Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAHMSA). Overdose death rates were taken from WV Public Health Records from 2010-2017. Two maps and corresponding data were compared for overlap or lack thereof.Results:Of the 338 locations of DEA-X licenses registered, 17.5% are in Cabell County, which led the state in overdose deaths in 2017. Only 2.5% of the total providers are currently in Wayne County, which had the second highest overdose death rate. Berkeley County, which was 3rd highest, has a mere 6.5% of total providers. Comparatively, Kanawah County, home to the state’s capital, has over twice this number of providers despite consistently having at or below the state average of overdose rates. Resources are pulled towards population-dense areas or university centers, where the epidemic is present but misses counties with higher overdose rates.Discussion:Results show a lack of MAT providers in many of WV’s devastated counties. Treatment centers exist throughout the state but are concentrated in regions with large cities or academic centers. This distribution limits accessibility to a marginalized patient population, making improvements unlikely in WV’s future opioid-overdose death rates.

Although geographic information system–based studies are particularly increasing in other sectors, few have embraced their full potential in health services allocation in Malaysia. This study aimed to produce a visual map on the distribution of smoking cessation clinics (SCCs) in Malaysia and analyze its pattern against the national population of smokers. SCC addresses were obtained from the government website and mapped using geographic information system tools. A total of 199 and 449 private and public SCCs was mapped throughout the country, respectively. The lowest SCC to smoker population ratio was in the state of Negeri Sembilan with 1:3000. The highest SCC to smoker population ratio was in Sabah with 1 SCC for 15 000 smokers. Almost 70% of SCCs were primary health clinics. Smoking cessation clinics were distributed throughout all the states in Malaysia except the state of Sabah.

Este artigo apresenta a construção de um Sistema de Informação Geográfica (SIG), disponível na web, como ferramenta para divulgar informações atualizadas sobre o agronegócio do babaçu no estado do Piauí, Brasil. O SIG GeoBabaçu foi desenvolvido utilizando a plataforma GeoServer e foi composto de duas partes:1) site web que mostra informações gerais sobre o babaçu e sobre os municípios produtores; 2) banco de dados geográficos com a disponibilização dos mapas da distribuição espacial do babaçu nos municípios pesquisados. Na construção do Banco de Dados Geográficos foram utilizados o sistema gerenciador de banco de dados PostgreSQL 9.3 + PostGIS 2.1., em conjunto com o Sistema de informação Geográfica QGIS. Para o mapeamento da distribuição espacial do babaçu foram selecionados os 25 municípios que apresentaram produção média mínima de cinco toneladas de amêndoas entre os anos de 2006 e 2013. Foram utilizadas imagens RapidEye, ortorretificadas com resolução espacial de 5 metros, composição R5G4B3 para a geração dos mapas. As imagens foram segmentadas e classificadas no software eCognition 8.7 e reclassificadas manualmente no módulo ArcMap do ArcGis 10.2.2, com o apoio de imagens do Google Earth Pro 7.1.5.1557. O levantamento dos dados de localização dos babaçuais foi realizado utilizando equipamentos GPS de navegação com precisão de 10 metros. O SIG GeoBabaçu está disponível no endereço siggeobabacu.ifpi.edu.br.Palavras-chave: mapeamento web, geoprocessamento, banco de dados geográficos, sensoriamento remoto.AbstractThis article presents the construction of a Geographic Information System (GIS), available on the web, as a tool to disseminate up - to - date information on babaçu agribusiness in the state of Piauí, Brazil. The GeoBabaçu SIG was developed using the GeoServer platform and was composed of two parts: 1) web site that shows general information about the babassu and about the producing municipalities; 2) geographics database with the map of spatial distribution of babassu in the cities surveyed. In the construction of the databases geographic was used the system database manager PostgreSQL 9.3 + PostGIS 2.1, in conjunction with the QGIS Geographic Information System. For the mapping of the spatial distribution of babassu, the 25 municipalities that had a minimum average production of five tons of almonds between 2006 and 2013 were selected. To the mapping were used RapidEye images, orthorectified, with spatial resolution of 5 meters and composition R5G4B3. The image segmentation and classification processes were performed with eCognition software 8.7 and after were reclassified manually in ArcGis module 10.2.2, supported by images from Google Earth Pro 7.1.5.1557. The survey of the location data of the babassu area was performed with equipment GPS navigation with accuracy of 10 meters. The GeoBabaçu SIG is available in the address siggeobabacu.ifpi.edu.br.Keywords: webmapping, geoprocessing, geographic database, remote sensing.
