The way aeronautical information is managed and disseminated must be modernized. Current aeronautical information services (AIS) methods for storing, publishing, disseminating, querying, and updating the volume of data required for the effective management of air traffic control have become obsolete. This does not contribute to preventing airspace congestion, which turns into a limiting factor for economic growth and generates negative effects on the environment. Owing to this, some work plans for improving AIS and air traffic flow focus on data and services interoperability to allow an efficient and coordinated use and exchange of aeronautical information. Geographic information technologies (GIT) and spatial data infrastructures (SDI) are comprehensive technologies upon which any service that integrates geospatial information can rely. The authors are working on the assumption that the foundations and underlying technologies of GIT and SDI can be applied to support aeronautical data and services, considering that aeronautical information contains a large number of geospatial components. This article presents the design, development, and implementation of a Web-based system architecture to evolve and enhance the use and management of aeronautical information in any context, e.g., in aeronautical charts on board, in control towers, and in aeronautical information services. After conducting a study into the use of aeronautical information, it was found that users demand specific requirements regarding reliability, flexibility, customization, integration, standardization, and cost reduction. These issues are not being addressed with existing systems and methods. A system compliant with geographic standards (OGC, ISO) and aeronautical regulations (ICAO, EUROCONTROL) and supported by a scalable and distributed Web architecture is proposed. This proposal would solve the shortcomings identified in the study and provide aeronautical information management (AIM) with new methods and strategies. In order to seek aeronautical data and services interoperability, a comprehensive aeronautical metadata profile has been defined. This proposal facilitates the use, retrieval, updating, querying, and editing of aeronautical information, as well as its exchange between different private and public institutions. The tests and validations have shown that the proposal is achievable.

<p>La investigación tiene como objetivo elaborar una propuesta didáctica para el uso de Tecnologías de la Información Geográfica (TIG), que permitirá a las autoridades acceder a más recursos para tomar mejores decisiones en las tareas de seguimiento, control y respuesta a la pandemia del COVID-19 (enfermedad asociada con la infección por SARS-CoV-2). Se analizó todo el universo de la población del territorio peruano. Mediante programas especializados en Sistemas de Información Geográfica (SIG) diseñados para mostrar múltiples visualizaciones en una sola pantalla, se ofrece una vista completa y atractiva de los datos. Los resultados obtenidos muestran cuadros y proyecciones del COVID-19, concluyendo que afecta a más hombres que mujeres. Además, tiene una tasa de letalidad del 3,82% y la mayor cantidad de fallecidos son adultos mayores, cobrando la vida de 193 personas e infectado a 7519, hasta la fecha de 11 de abril del 2020. Se tiene previsto que el próximo 12 de mayo, el COVID-19 llegue al número máximo de contagiados.</p><p>Palabras clave: Tecnologías de información geográfica, Sistemas de Información Geográfica, COVID-19, Perú.</p><p> </p><p><strong>ABSTRACT</strong></p><p>This research aims to develop a didactic proposal for the use of Geographic Information Technologies (TIG), which will allow authorities to access more resources to make better decisions in tasks of monitoring, controlling and responding to the COVID -19 (disease associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection) pandemic.
