This work investigates the practical issue of mapping existing GIS to the OpenGIS standards. We describe the data models used in three systems (MGE, ARC/INFO and SPRING) and analyse the problems involved when mapping them to OpenGIS. Our conclusion is that the OpenGIS standard has not been defined in a formal and unequivocal way, and therefore, there are indefinitions and competing alternatives for mapping existing GIS systems into the proposed standard.

This paper presents a case study on environmental aspects related to the occurrence of visceral leishmaniasis in Teresina, Piauí, Brazil, from 1993 to 1996, in order to discuss the use of some appropriate geo-processing methods for median-resolution remote sensing images potentially useful for studying vector-borne transmissible diseases in urban areas. We present the main techniques: registration, geometric correction, restoration, fusion, segmentation, and classification. Using intra-class correlation indices applied to the proportion of area by class in the census tract, we compare four classifiers: Maxver, Bhattacharya, K-means, and Isoseg. This comparison was not devised to choose the best classifier, but to depict different classification scenarios aimed at recognizing the best identifiable image classes in urban settings. We conclude that even with limited resources, using low-cost and easily available median resolution images and free software to process and integrate information, it is possible to identify land use characteristics, potentially appropriate for analyzing urban areas exposed to environmental risk for vector-borne diseases.

This work presents the first results achieved through an interdisciplinary and multi-institutional effort conduct by the Geoma Network, aiming to advance in the comprehension of the new frontiers in the South of the Pará State, in the Amazonian region, by examining the new patterns of deforestation and the underlying processes that are generating them. Our objective is to product information aiding to draw responsible public policies considering not only one dimension of the problem like roads infra-structure, as usual. Based on the analysis presented here we pointed out that only an integrated solution, that considers the main actors and the organization of economical processes in the productive chains over the region, would be capable to minimize the effects of deforestation and would drive an integrated development policy to the region bringing benefits to forest conservation and the local population.

The impact of violence on the population's health profile in large Brazilian cities is a real concern and has been incorporated into the country's public health agenda. Although violent crimes affect the entire population, they are distributed unequally in the city. In this context, analytical tools to evaluate the risk and spatial distribution of homicide are important for surveillance and prevention. The current article is a contribution in this direction. A geostatistical methodology is used to estimate and map homicide risk, and a new semivariogram estimator is presented and its application is evaluated in the city of São Paulo, Brazil, for the period 2002 to 2004. Homicide risk scenarios are generated using binomial cokriging and stochastic simulation procedures, allowing the demarcation of areas with greater or lesser risk that can be used to study spatial determinants of violence and improve the understanding of problems through analysis of differences across urban territories.
