MAPA WEB INTERATIVO PARA O INSTITUTO FEDERAL GOIANO - CAMPUS URUTAÍ

Abstract

Interactive maps are web interfaces that can provide geographic information in a simple, fast and intuitive way, and should be presented in a way that can be immediately understood by those who view them. In this context, considering the extensive area occupied by the IF Goiano – Urutaí campus and its expansion in infrastructure in the last decade, this work aimed to take spatial information regarding access and location of buildings and other facilities, through the creation of an interactive web map. The interactive map was created in free computational environments, using R and QGIS software. QGIS was used to manipulate spatial data and to insert attributes. The compilation of files and images and the construction of the map in HTML were done in R with the aid of the package leaflet. The map contains illustrative base layers and satellite image, both freely accessible, and also has a name-search tool and a real-time location tool, functional in devices with a GPS module, to assist pedestrians or cars, making it easier to access the Campus facilities. The map can be accessed from the official webpage of IF Goiano – Campus Urutaí, at: www.ifgoiano.edu.br/urutai.
