GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION SYSTEM ON HOMICIDE IN CAMPINAS

ABSTRACT
From 1979 to 2016, more than four million Brazilians died due to external causes. Among these deaths, two million occurred in the State of São Paulo. Of this total, more than 45% resulted from homicides. Among the countless difficulties in containing homicides in Brazil, one can also mention the low knowledge about the spatial distribution of this problem at the intra-municipal level. This project aims to overcome this limitation by developing, testing and making available, to any interested parties, a geographic information system that locates the occurrence of homicides in a large city in the State of São Paulo, visually identifying the characteristics of these deaths and the areas of greatest incidence. It is intended that such a system contributes not only to local prevention, but also to the development of similar systems in other locations.
