Desenvolvimento do aplicativo mobile IFGEO: sistema de orientação e auxílio dentro do IFG – Campus Goiânia

Abstract

People have been facing problems to locate themselves in places considered closed and unknown, which receive high demand of people. For this, the management of information and the location of physical spaces within enclosed environments can be accomplished through the union of mobile devices with the Geographic Information System (GIS). The GIS has the function of managing spatial data, which can be stored by means of a geographic database so that the information can be accessed by the user. This work aims to build an interactive application (IFGEO) to help the community of students, visitors, teachers and other professionals of the IFG-Campus Goiânia, in the internal location of all physical spaces of the institution, besides the presentation of information. The development of the application was based on free software, which enables the analysis, handling and storage of geographic data, so that they can be hosted on a central server, and then be programmed for representation in the application, allowing users to perform searches and can trace routes to and from certain enclosures within the IFG.
