BairroForte: um aplicativo colaborativo para monitoramento de segurança em tempo real entre moradores e comerciantes

Abstract

This study addresses the development of BairroForte, a collaborative security application designed to empower urban and suburban communities in crime prevention and enhancing the sense of safety.The justification for the project lies in the growing concern over public safety and the lack of effective tools for communication and community action in vulnerable areas. The primary objective of the application was to connect residents and business owners, enabling the sharing of real-time incidents, the visualization of cameras, sending alerts, and forming neighborhood groups for preventive actions. The project implemented notification customization, allowing users to set preferences such as incident categories, coverage radius, and schedules. As a result, a functional MVP was delivered, which demonstrates the potential to generate greater community engagement, assist in reducing incidents, and increase trust among neighbors. BairroForte stands out by offering features like crime heat maps, control over privacy settings, and a geolocated alert system.It is concluded that BairroForte has the potential to transform how communities address security, fostering a more connected, collaborative, and safe environment.
