Produção de um mapa de localização para o campus de engenharias e ciências agrárias da Universidade Federal de Alagoas

Abstract

Despite being extremely important items since ancient civilizations, maps are still not widespread and used in their wide range of use, such as indoor maps, for example.Maps are elements of location, communication, measurement and knowledge, and can be explored in their thematic variety, such as tactile maps, tourist maps and, in the case of this work, as a thematic map of location. In this sense, the present study developed a map for the Campus de Engenharias e Ciências Agrárias – CECA, located in Rio Largo / AL, which is part of the Universidade Federal de Alagoas – UFAL, in order to facilitate the location and internal locomotion on campus of all those who transit through this space, either frequently or sporadically. As a result, it was obtained a map in the scale of 1: 1250, in A1 paper size, using the ArcGIS software, which had as background the clipping of a satellite image from the base of Google Earth PRO. The map has the main elements, such as scale, legend, north, coordinate and reference system, and an additional one, which was the inclusion of a QR COD, to facilitate access in digital media. The map is expected to be widely disseminated and well used by everyone on campus.
