Information Design and Land Regularization: The Optimization Processes of Blueprints and Descriptive Memorials on the SIG Platform

Abstract

Among many legal processes and political issues that hinder the Land Regularization of informal urban settlements, the delay in the production of technical documents (blueprints and descriptive memorials) and the number of errors in the systematization of information stand out. Thus, this work presents an information design methodology, aiming to optimize the documentation process through Geographic Information Systems (GIS). As a result, there was an average reduction in the production time of blueprints and memorials when compared to previous experiences of standard documentation. Errors that were still persistent were found exactly in processes that were not yet automated and needed a certain degree of mechanization. Therefore, even though the legal and political challenges seem insurmountable and need to be on the agenda, it is important to project possibilities for the technical barriers to the regularization of informal settlements, to which information design can contribute.
