Cidades inteligentes: gerenciamento de equipamentos comunitários em relação a densidade demográfica da cidade de Toledo - Pr

Abstract

Discussing the issues that arise in urban areas due to the rural exodus and rapid urbanization is essential to improving the population's quality of life. In this context, smart cities and the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) aim to provide solutions for urban environments and strategies for sustainable development. It is necessary to carry out studies that demonstrate the population's access to urban community facilities that make up the city's infrastructure. This work aims to identify the problems visualized and achieve the objectives described with a focus on the concepts of smart cities, particularly the location and distribution of education and health equipment in urban spaces, taking into account the real-world scenario. To make this research applicable, an exploratory methodology with a qualitative approach is used, involving documentary and literature reviews. Subsequently, a case study was carried out in the city of Toledo, Paraná, where data collection included the mapping of preschools, primary and secondary schools, as well as low, medium and high complexity health centers managed by government agencies. Technological tools were used for mapping, initially through georeferencing and geoprocessing. Subsequently, influence radii were measured using GIS through buffer methods. These areas were then overlaid with shading using the Kernel method, highlighting housing variables and population density, correlated with the service rates of each unit. As a result of the mapping analysis, it was possible to identify that there is no guarantee of compliance with the established standards, when taking into account child care, as for primary and secondary education, there is a need to expand services in the new neighborhoods. For the health axis, mapping deficiencies are noticeable for health posts, while for specialty centers and hospitals there is a large scope of these services in the urban territory. In the context of smart cities, when using their tools, it was possible to observe that there is no way to carry out an adequate analysis without the use of such tools.
