Estruturação de um sistema de indicadores para cidades : uma abordagem para múltiplos modelos de dados

Abstract

Cities are complex social and spatial organizations characterized by a significant concentration of population, infrastructure, and economic, cultural, and political activities. The interaction among these elements plays a crucial role in shaping the quality of urban dynamics and how they are perceived by society, highlighting the importance of understanding them within the context of decision-making. In this scenario, various theories focused on the study of cities emerge with the aim of analyzing the efficiency of interactions among urban components, aiming to promote quality of life for residents by providing essential analytical and explanatory foundations to align city goals and objectives with contemporary demands. The growing development of technologies for measuring urban indicators underscores their importance for effectively monitoring urban activities and advancing toward these goals, ultimately improving human living standards. This study aims to design a dashboard using the design science research method to measure and evaluate urban indicators based on theories of smart cities, sustainability, and knowledge-based development. The dashboard will be powered by secondary data from official platforms of the Brazilian Federal Government, with the goal of promoting more effective urban management. The results indicate that the dashboard artifact proved to be feasible and shows potential to contribute to more efficient urban management, capable of tracking and monitoring open data-based indicators across various city dimensions.
