Favorabilidade de aquíferos fraturados: Bacia Hidrográfica do Rio São Domingos - estado do Rio de Janeiro

Studies of aquifer favorability have been developed to reduce uncertainty in water well location and to define the hydrogeological potential of crystalline aquifers. The use of geoprocessing tools and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) proved efficient in determination of areas with a higher hydrogeological potential. The area of study is the São Domingos River Basin (SDRB), located in the Northwestern Region of Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil, including the entire São José de Ubá and a small part of Itaperuna municipalities. The main objective is to determine the hydrogeological favorability of the SDRB as a contribution to the management of the region's water resources, as well as elaborate a methodology to produce a cartography of hydrogeological favorability. As a result, hydrogeological favorability maps of SDRB were elaborated, comprising five classes of favorability, with two great domains: the central portion presenting classes of higher favorability and the upper basin with classes of lower favorability. The conclusions are: 1) favorability of the SDRB is strongly conditioned by the basin's geologic-structural settings; 2) the method used proved efficient in the evaluation of the fractured aquifers favorability.

Evacuation Route

Floods in Pekanbaru City have often hit the region along the Siak river, including the Rumbai subdistrict. Disasters such as floods have detrimental impacts on society, including a massive loss of lives. However, several strategies can minimize the impacts of flooding, including making a plan evacuation route mapping with Geographic Information Systems (GIS). This is a planning-based analysis of data using the algorithm djikstra for result pathways for efficient and effective evacuation. The evacuation routes involve seven simulation parameter modeling, specifically flood, length path, wide roads, road conditions, road materials, presence or absence of bridges, and the road’s direction. These parameters are processed using algoritma djikstra to generate the appropriate evacuation routes based on study area conditions. The analysis focuses on one evacuation route in Palas and the other six in Sri Meranti Village. The routes in Palas Village lead to the evacuation place of the Al-Jihad Mosque, while those in Sri Meranti Village heads to Al-Ikhlas Mosque, MDA Aula Rumbai, Nurul Haq Mosque, M Nurul Mosque, vacant land, and Stadium Parking Area.

The aim of the study is the determination of socio-economic characteristics of the elderly, emphasizing the usefulness of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to explore the socio-economic indicators that affect the health level of the elderly. Given the usefulness of GIS and their application in the fields of physical health, mental health, health services and general health management, a survey for the investigation of the socio-economic indicators that affect the health level of the elderly was carried out, using a specially designed questionnaire. The results of this survey were plotted in the corresponding geographical locations on the maps, giving the person concerned a full picture of the geographical distribution of socio-economic indicators that affect the health level of the elderly.
