Sistemas de informa????es para o licenciamento ambiental: exemplo de coopera????o interinstitucional para melhoria da gest??o ambiental

Em 1981, com a edi????o da Lei no 6938, foi criado o Sistema Nacional de Meio Ambiente (Sisnama), composto dos ??rg??os federais e estaduais respons??veis pela formula????o e implementa????o das pol??ticas de meio ambiente. No ??mbito federal, integram o Sisnama o Minist??rio do Meio Ambiente (MMA) e o Instituto Brasileiro de Meio Ambiente e Recursos Naturais (Ibama); nos estados s??o integrantes os ??rg??os estaduais de meio ambiente. O licenciamento ambiental de qualquer atividade econ??mica ?? obrigat??rio em todo o pa??s, mas somente seis desses ??rg??os ambientais estaduais possuem sistemas informatizados para acompanhamento da situa????o desses empreendimentos. Essa situa????o conduz a uma s??rie de problemas gerenciais e administrativos entre os empreendedores e o governo, entre o p??blico e o governo e entre os empreendedores e a sociedade. At?? mesmo o Minist??rio P??blico, ao requisitar informa????es sobre a situa????o de determinada atividade econ??mica, n??o recebe dados com a presteza e a confiabilidade necess??rias

Dimensional X: a dificuldade na obten????o da informa????o em meio a problemas na gest??o de pessoas

Ant??nio foi convidado para assumir um cargo em que deveria gerenciar os sistemas de informa????o de um grande minist??rio. Com a miss??o inicial de fornecer uma informa????o sobre a for??a de trabalho, percebeu que havia problemas que iam muito al??m da simples utiliza????o desses sistemas, como a pol??tica de capacita????o de pessoal, a rotatividade de servidores, a falta de integra????o entre as ??reas e outros problemas na ??rea de gest??o de pessoas

Gest??o da informa????o

Cada vez mais, a integra????o das partes componentes de um processo se imp??e como vital, associada a necessidade de que as informa????es operacionais e gerenciais estejam dispon??veis ?? tempo e ?? hora, para servirem de apoio ?? tomada de decis??es gerenciais, com a efic??cia e a velocidade que s??o exigidas nos dias de hoje. Neste trabalho, est??o exemplificados como, atrav??s da integra????o dos processos, apoiados por um Sistema de Gest??o da Informa????o, elimina-se trabalhos redundantes, facilita-se o preenchimento de documentos, aprimora-se o fluxo dos procedimentos, disponibilizando, em tempo real, informa????es sobre o andamento dos servi??os. Este enfoque se aplica a qualquer servi??o que envolva diversas ??reas atrav??s da integra????o dos processos distribu??dos ou implantando novos procedimentos setoriais apoiados por um suporte informatizado espec??fico. Obedecendo ??s caracter??sticas particulares de cada ??rea envolvida os Sistemas integrados ou setoriais promovem um perfeito controle dos processos distribu??dos. A tomada de decis??es ?? agilizada e tem perfeito embasamento nas informa????es que est??o sempre dispon??veis no momento em que se fizerem necess??rias

Sistemas de informação em políticas sociais descentralizadas: uma análise sobre a coordenação federativa e práticas de gestão

Este artigo objetiva avaliar como sistemas de informação criados pelo governo federal brasileiro são utilizados para coordenar políticas sociais descentralizadas em três áreas - saúde, educação e assistência social - em que políticas públicas federais são implantadas em parceria com governos estaduais e municipais. Como parte deste estudo, foram realizadas 35 entrevistas semiestruturadas realizadas entre o final de 2012 e início de 2013 com gestores dos três programas estudados e nos três níveis de governo. Além disso, como informação complementar, coletamos 432 questionários que foram respondidos por usuários dos mesmos sistemas. Como referencial teórico para análise, utilizamos um modelo multinível construído a partir da combinação de três teorias - social construtivismo, contextualismo e estruturacionismo - e que vem sendo utilizado em vários estudos relacionados com o uso de sistemas de informação com finalidade social. O estudo conclui que sistemas desenvolvidos considerando a participação dos diferentes níveis de governo tendem a ter melhor aceitação por parte dos usuários e assim produzir melhores efeitos nos resultados das políticas aos quais estão associados. Os sistemas desenvolvidos de forma menos participativa tendem a focar exclusivamente a necessidade de controle pelo governo federal, subaproveitando seu potencial como instrumento de gestão e produzindo menor efeito de controle social da política pública a que está associado. Consequentemente, estes sistemas menos participativos têm menor relevância para a coordenação federativa.

Os sistemas de informação geográfica e as empresas

O interesse das empresas privadas na tecnologia de Sistemas de Informação Geográfica (SIG) não tem parado de crescer. Há, no entanto, factores que têm contribuído para uma certa resistência na sua adopção. Se alguns destes factores são defensíveis e compreensíveis, outros decorrem apenas da ausência de informação sobre o tema. Esta falta de informação prende-se, essencialmente, com a definição do papel que os SIG podem deter no âmbito das empresas, aquilo que estão aptos a fazer e de que forma podem contribuir para um melhor funcionamento das organizações.

Construção das capacidades organizacionais de tecnologia da informação no contexto dos sistemas institucionais integrados de gestão da UFRN

The IT capability is a organizational ability to perform activities of this role more effectively and an important mechanism in creating value. Its building process (stages of creation and development) occurs through management initiatives for improvement in the performance of their activities, using human resources and IT assets complementary responsible for the evolution of their organizational routines. This research deals with the IT capabilities related to SIG (integrated institutional management systems), built and deployed in UFRN (Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte) to realization and control of administrative, academic and human resources activities. Since 2009, through cooperative agreements with federal and educational institutions of direct administration, UFRN has supported the implementation of these systems, currently involving more than 30 institutions. The present study aims to understand how IT capabilities, relevant in the design, implementation and dissemination of SIG, were built over time. This is a single case study of qualitative and longitudinal nature, performed by capturing, coding and analysis from secondary data and from semi-structured interviews conducted primarily with members of Superintenência de Informática, organizational unit responsible for SIG systems in UFRN. As a result, the technical, of internal relationship and external cooperation capabilities were identified as relevant in the successful trajectory of SIG systems, which have evolved in different ways. The technical capacity, initiated in 2004, toured the stages of creation and development until it reached the stage of stability in 2013, due to technological limits. Regarding the internal relationship capability, begun in 2006, it toured the stages of creation and development, having extended its scope of activities in 2009, being in development since then. Unlike the standard life cycle observed in the literature, the external cooperation capability was initiated by an intensity of initiatives and developments in the routines in 2009, which were decreasing to cease in 2013 in order to stabilize the technological infrastructure already created for cooperative institutions. It was still identified the start of cooperation in 2009 as an important event selection, responsible for changing or creating trajectories of evolution in all three capacities. The most frequent improvements initiatives were of organizational nature and the internal planning activity has been transformed over the routines of the three capabilities. Important resources and complementary assets have been identified as important for the realization of initiatives, such as human resources technical knowledge to the technical capabilities and external cooperation, and business knowledge, for all of them, as well as IT assets: the iproject application for control of development processes, and the document repository wiki. All these resources and complementary assets grew along the capacities, demonstrating its strategic value to SINFO/UFRN

Zonificación del espacio por agrupación de unidades superficiales. Aplicación a la gestión de sistemas extensivos del tipo cereal-ovino

RESUMEN Los procesos de diseño de zonas o diseño del territorio implican la partición de un espacio geográfico, organizado en un conjunto de unidades de área, en diferentes regiones o zonas según un conjunto especifico de criterios que varían en función del campo de aplicación. En la mayoría de los casos, el objetivo fundamental consiste en crear zonas de tamaño aproximadamente igual respecto a uno o varios atributos de medida -de carácter cuantitativo- (zonas con igual número de habitantes, igual promedio de ventas...). Sin embargo, están apareciendo nuevas aplicaciones, algunas en el contexto de las políticas de desarrollo sostenible, cuya finalidad es la definición de regiones con un tamaño predeterminado, no necesariamente similar. Además, en estos casos las zonas han de formarse en torno a un conjunto específico de posiciones, semillas o generadores. Este tipo de particiones no han sido lo suficientemente investigadas, de manera que no se conocen modelos de solución para la delimitación automática de las zonas. En esta tesis se ha diseñado un nuevo método basado en una versión discreta del diagrama de Voronoi con peso aditivo adaptativo (DVPAA), que permite la partición de un espacio bidimensional en zonas de un tamaño específico, considerando tanto la posición como el peso de cada uno de los generadores. El método consiste en resolver repetidamente un tradicional diagrama de Voronoi con peso aditivo, de forma que los pesos de cada generador se actualizan en cada iteración. En el proceso de cálculo de distancias se usa una métrica basada en el camino más corto, lo que garantiza que la partición obtenida esté formada por un conjunto de zonas conexas. La heurística diseñada se integra en una aplicación prototipo, desarrollada en un entorno SIG (Sistemas de Información Geográfica), que permite el trazado automático de zonas según los criterios anteriormente expuestos. Para analizar la viabilidad del método se ha utilizado como caso de estudio la gestión de los recursos pastorales para la ganadería extensiva en tres municipios de Castilla-La Mancha. Las pruebas realizadas ponen de manifiesto que la heurística diseñada, adaptada a los criterios que se plantean en el contexto de la gestión de sistemas extensivos agropecuarios, es válida para resolver este tipo de problemas de partición. El método propuesto se caracteriza por su eficacia en el tratamiento de un gran número de unidades superficiales en formato vectorial, generando soluciones que convergen con relativa rapidez y verifican los criterios establecidos. En el caso estudiado, aunque la posición prefijada de los generadores reduce considerablemente la complejidad del problema, existen algunas configuraciones espaciales de estos elementos para las que el algoritmo no encuentra una solución satisfactoria, poniéndose de manifiesto una de las limitaciones de este modelo. Tal y como se ha podido comprobar, la localización de los generadores puede tener un considerable impacto en la zonificación resultante, por lo que, de acuerdo con Kalcsics et al. (2005), una selección "inadecuada" difícilmente puede generar regiones válidas que verifiquen los criterios establecidos. ABSTRACT Tenitory or zone design processes entail partitioning a geographic space, organized as a set of basic areal units, into different regions or zones according to a specific set of entena that are dependent on the application context. In most cases the aim is to create zones that have approximately equal sizes with respect to one or several measure attributes (zones with equal numbers of inhabitants, same average sales, etc). However, some of the new applications that have emerged, particularly in the context of sustainable development policies, are aimed at defining zones of a predetermined, though not necessarily similar, size. In addition, the zones should be built around a given set of positions, seeds or generators. This type of partitioning has not been sufñciently researched; therefore there are no known approaches for automated zone delimitation. This thesis proposes a new method based on a discrete versión of the Adaptive Additively Weighted Voronoi Diagram (AAWVD) that makes it possible to partition a 2D space into zones of specific sizes, taking both the position and the weight of each (seed) generator into account. The method consists of repeatedly solving a traditional additively weighted Voronoi diagram, so that the weights of each generator are updated at every iteration. The partition s zones are geographically connected nsing a metric based 011 the shortest path. The proposed heuristic lias been included in an application, developed in a GIS environment that allows the automated zone delimitation according to the mentioned criteria. The management of the extensive farming system of three municipalities of Castilla-La Mancha (Spain) has been used as study case to analyze the viability of the method. The tests carried out have established that the proposed method, adapted to the criteria of this application field, is valid for solving this type of partition problem. The applied algorithm is capable of handling a high number of vector areal units, generating solutions that converge in a reasonable CPU time and comply with the imposed constraints. Although the complexity of this problem is greatly reduced when the generator's positions are fixed, in many cases, these positions impose a spatial confignration that the algorithm proposed is unable to solve, thus revealing one of the limitations of this method. It has been shown that the location of the generators has a considerable impact on the final solution, so that, as Kalcsics et al. (2005) observed, an "inadequate" selection can hardly generate valid zones that comply with the established criteria.

Cartografía local y sistemas de información geográfica participativos como herramientas de consolidación de la identidad local en la planificación urbana y territorial

Una de las características de la cartografía y SIG Participativos (SIGP) es incluir en sus métodos a la sociedad civil para aportar contenidos cualitativos a la información de sus territorios. Sin embargo no sólo se trata de datos, sino de los efectos que pueden tener estas prácticas sobre el territorio y su sociedad. El acceso a esa información se ve reducida en contraste con el incremento de información difundida a través de servicios de visualización, geoinformación y cartografía on-line. Todo esto hace que sea necesario el análisis del alcance real de las metodologías participativas en el uso de Información Geográfica (IG) y la comparación desde distintos contextos geográficos. También es importante conocer los beneficios e inconvenientes del acceso a la información para el planeamiento; desde la visibilidad de muchos pueblos desapercibidos en zonas rurales y periféricas, hasta la influencia en programas de gobierno sobre la gestión del territorio pasando por el conocimiento local espacial. El análisis se centró en los niveles de participación de la sociedad civil y sus grados de accesibilidad a la información (acceso y uso), dentro del estudio de los SIGP, Participatory Mapping, además se estudió de los TIG (Tecnologías de Información Geográfica), cartografías on-line (geoweb) y plataformas de geovisualización espacial, como recursos de Neocartografía. En este sentido, se realizó un trabajo de campo de cartografía participativa en Bolivia, se evaluaron distintos proyectos SIGP en países del norte y sur (comparativa de contextos en países en desarrollo) y se analizaron los resultados del cruce de las distintas variables.(validación, accesibilidad, verificación de datos, valor en la planificación e identidad) La tesis considera que ambos factores (niveles de participación y grado de accesibilidad) afectan a la (i) validación, verificación y calidad de los datos, la (ii) valor analítico en la planificación, y al (iii) modelo de identidad de un lugar, y que al ser tratados de forma integral, constituyen el valor añadido que los SIGP pueden aportar para lograr una planificación efectiva. Asimismo se comprueba, que la dimensión participativa en los SIGP varía según el contexto, la centralización de sus actores e intereses sectoriales. La información resultante de las prácticas SIGP tiende a estar restringida por la falta de legislaciones y por la ausencia de formatos estándar, que limitan la difusión e intercambio de la información. Todo esto repercute en la efectividad de una planificación estratégica y en la viabilidad de la implementación de cualquier proyecto sobre el territorio, y en consecuencia sobre los niveles de desarrollo de un país. Se confirma la hipótesis de que todos los elementos citados en los SIGP y mapeo participativo actuarán como herramientas válidas para el fortalecimiento y la eficacia en la planificación sólo si están interconectadas y vinculadas entre sí. Se plantea una propuesta metodológica ante las formas convencionales de planificación (nueva ruta del planeamiento; que incluye el intercambio de recursos y determinación participativa local antes de establecer la implementación), con ello, se logra incorporar los beneficios de las metodologías participativas en el manejo de la IG y los SIG (Sistemas de Información Geográfica) como instrumentos estratégicos para el desarrollo de la identidad local y la optimización en los procesos de planeamiento y estudios del territorio. Por último, se fomenta que en futuras líneas de trabajo los mapas de los SIGP y la cartografía participativa puedan llegar a ser instrumentos visuales representativos que transfieran valores identitarios del territorio y de su sociedad, y de esta manera, ayudar a alcanzar un mayor conocimiento, reconocimiento y valoración de los territorios para sus habitantes y sus planificadores. ABSTRACT A feature of participatory mapping and PGIS is to include the participation of the civil society, to provide qualitative information of their territories. However, focus is not only data, but also the effects that such practices themselves may have on the territory and their society. Access to this information is reduced in contrast to the increase of information disseminated through visualization services, geoinformation, and online cartography. Thus, the analysis of the real scope of participatory methodologies in the use of Geographic Information (GI) is necessary, including the comparison of different geographical contexts. It is also important to know the benefits and disadvantages of access to information needed for planning in different contexts, ranging from unnoticed rural areas and suburbs to influence on government programs on land management through local spatial knowledge. The analysis focused on the participation levels of civil society and the degrees of accessibility of the information (access and use) within the study of Participatory GIS (PGIS). In addition, this work studies GIT (Geographic Information Technologies), online cartographies (Geoweb) and platforms of spatial geovisualization, as resources of Neocartography. A participatory cartographic fieldwork was carried out in Bolivia. Several PGIS projects were evaluated in Northern and Southern countries (comparatively with the context of developing countries), and the results were analyzed for each these different variables. (validation, accessibility, verification,value, identity). The thesis considers that both factors (participation levels and degree of accessibility) affect the (i) validation, verification and quality of the data, (ii) analytical value for planning, and (iii) the identity of a place. The integrated management of all the above cited criteria constitutes an added value that PGISs can contribute to reach an effective planning. Also, it confirms the participatory dimension of PGISs varies according to the context, the centralization of its actors, and to sectorial interests. The resulting information from PGIS practices tends to be restricted by the lack of legislation and by the absence of standard formats, which limits in turn the diffusion and exchange of the information. All of this has repercussions in the effectiveness of a strategic planning and in the viability of the implementation of projects about the territory, and consequentially in the land development levels. The hypothesis is confirmed since all the described elements in PGISs and participatory mapping will act as valid tools in strengthening and improving the effectivity in planning only if they are interconnected and linked amongst themselves. This work, therefore, suggests a methodological proposal when faced with the conventional ways of planning: a new planning route which includes the resources exchange and local participatory determination before any plan is established -. With this, the benefits of participatory methodologies in the management of GI and GIS (Geographic Information Systems) is incorporated as a strategic instrument for development of local identity and optimization in planning processes and territory studies. Finally, the study outlines future work on PGIS maps and Participatory Mapping, such that these could eventually evolve into visual representative instruments that transfer identity values of the territory and its society. In this way, they would contribute to attain a better knowledge, recognition, and appraisement of the territories for their inhabitants and planners.
