Geoprocessamento aplicado à iluminação pública: identificação de zonas escuras no Bairro Nossa Senhora do Carmo Parnaíba-Pi

Abstract

Public street lighting is a crucial component of urban infrastructure, directly influencing the safety, mobility, and quality of life of citizens. In Brazil, the management of public lighting involves numerous challenges and responsibilities, primarily under municipal jurisdiction. In recent years, many Brazilian municipalities have invested in modernizing public lighting systems by adopting more efficient and sustainable technologies. This Final Graduation Project presents an analysis of areas with low or no public lighting using geotechnologies as the primary data acquisition tool. Public lighting is vital for promoting urban safety, as studies indicate that well-lit areas tend to have lower crime rates due to increased visibility and surveillance. Based on this premise, this work proposes using geoprocessing as a tool to help identify areas with deficient public lighting and assist in management decision-making. The study utilizes a georeferenced database of public lighting points, focusing on the Nossa Senhora do Carmo neighborhood in the municipality of Parnaíba, Piauí.
