Sistema de gerenciamento georreferenciado para controle sanitário animal, baseado em internet com uso de software livre

Abstract

The agents of animal diseases harm the human population in several ways, provoking diseases called zoonosis, in other words, the diseases that they are transmitted from the vertebrate animals to the man. The animal sanitary control is an activity of extreme importance for our society concerning the health and economy. The high number of establishments that they need to be fiscalized and the enormous amount of collected data, requests a lot of organization and they should allow managers of the fiscalization agencies to have fast access to updated information. Many zoonosis demand fast actions and, for this, the avaliable spatial information is of fundamental importance to avoid higher economical-social damages. However, the government agencies lack of specialized computer tools for the treatment of these data, mainly due to the costs of software licensing and hardware demands, hindering the work of sanitary administration. Now, with the development of the geotechnologies it is available a great variety of tools in free software, allowing fast and efficient access of these information. Among them WebGIS are inserted. They are the technologies, politics and necessary people to promote the publication of geospatial data (group of integrated data) in Internet, making possible the user's interaction in the construction of maps and in the access to non spatial information. In this context, as a result of this work it was obtained a WebGIS, integrating several solutions in free software to systematize the data of animal sanitary control of the State of Rio Grande do Sul, allowing the spatial visualization of the establishments, giving support to the managers to take decision and with reduced technological costs.
