Utilização do Sistema de Informações Geográficas (SIG) para o mapeamento da criminalidade da cidade de Bagé-RS

Abstract

Crime has become an increasingly worrying problem for the society. Since the 1960’s there has been a steady rise in violence worldwide. Several causes contribute for it, such as: social, economic and demographic factors. Brazil is no different, the mortality rate due to violence and accidents has been increasing continuously since the 1980’s and is currently one of the highest in Latin America. Aiming to reduce this problem, studies about this area have been realized recently, and therefore resulting in several improvement contributions to public safety. In this sense, the objective of this study is to collaborate with the Military Brigade of Bagé-RS, through the use of geographic information system, more specifically, the ArcGIS 10.5 software. This software will be used to map the criminal occurrences in the municipality. In addition to providing the thematic map in a clear way, this program allows other functions to correlate different events to obtain dynamic analysis of the situations encountered. At the end of this project, it is intended to develop the crime map of the city, allowing the user to view different densities of crime in different places and times. The city's monitoring cameras were added and it was noticed that about 30% of them are in areas of hotspots, but almost every hotspot has at least one camera.
