Abstract—Aiming to improve population life quality of the
Brazilian Federal District, and using concepts of Information
Architecture and Geoinformation, this research presents a
mobile application with objective of facilitating practice of
denouncing damages to the public patrimony, locating
geographically and cataloging this damage so that public sector
is notified and population perceives changes and actions taken
by the government. Mobile platforms are becoming other
channels through which citizens can report information in real
time. Federal District currently has 3 million inhabitants and
5.8 thousand km², and it is common to see areas without
sanitation, without asphalts and with damages to public
patrimony such as fallen poles, squares vandalized, abandoned
buildings, among others. By means of geolocation and damage
mapping, Volunteered Geographic Information and this mobile
application allows citizen to make complaints and ask
government to do maintenance, being a new tool to help
environment and human being life.
Index Terms—volunteered geographic information,
geoinformation, MOBILE application, public patrimony.
