Development of GIS Solutions for the Brazilian Public Administration – A Systematic Review

Abstract

Geographic Information Systems have evolved in the last thirty years, following the advances of other technologies and becoming a fundamental tool for various tasks, both in the private and public sectors. The characteristics of collecting, storing, retrieving and disseminating spatial data are of great use for the development of actions in the public sector where, not infrequently, difficulties such as lack of investment and labor present themselves as challenges to be overcome. This article presents a systematic literature review identifying scientific production between 2018 and 2022 on Geographic Information Systems developed for the Brazilian public service, its main actors and fields of application. To perform the searches, the indexed databases IEEE Digital Library, ISI Web of Science, Science Direct and Scopus were considered. The searches returned 263 articles, of which 79 were duplicates and 171 did not meet the established inclusion criteria. Thus, 13 articles remained for analysis. The results made it possible to evaluate the popularization of these systems in the governmental sphere and revealed the main fields of application, the most used software and other characteristics regarding the solutions developed in the period.
