[Freegis-list] Re: Freegis-list Digest, Vol 12, Issue 9

[Gilberto Camara]

Dear Hugo:

In Brazil, we have been using the TerraView free GIS software
to support many projects related to mapping of
social exclusion. For more information, please see:

(a) A paper on mapping social exclusion in Brazil:
"Mapping Social Exclusion/Inclusion in Developing Countries: Social 
Dynamics of São Paulo in the 90's ".
G. Câmara, A. Monteiro, F. Ramos, A. Sposati, D. Koga.
In: D. Jonelle, M. Goodchild (eds.), "Spatially-Enabled Social Science: 
Examples in Best Practices". Oxford University Press, 2004.
(http://www.dpi.inpe.br/gilberto/papers/saopaulo_csiss.pdf).

(b) The TerraView software (GPL-licensed) can be found at
http://www.terralib.org/applications.html.
It is based on the TerraLib free GIS library and has
functionalities similiar to ArcView GIS.

(c) The homepage for the Social Exclusion project that
INPE develops in connection with the Social Assistance group
at the Catholic University of Sao Paulo can be found at:
http://www.dpi.inpe.br/geopro/exclusao/
(sorry, the pages are in Portuguese, since our target
audience is Brazilian social science researchers).

Best regards
Gilberto
