O uso da cartografia e de mapeamento colaborativo na análise dos problemas urbanos no distrito de Aturiaí- PA

Abstract

The cartography must be approached with its real importance, being inserted in our daily life from the initial series to begin from an early age to have notion of how we can use it as an instrument of formation as a critical human being. We can see how widespread cartography is becoming mainly in what refers to collaborative mapping, where we can be actors and authors of our history, with works of denunciations about problems faced in our day-to-day. This work aims to develop a collaborative map to share information about urban problems for the community, establishing the challenges for pedagogical practices in geography. The present work brings to the discussion the urban problems surrounding the school Benedito Cardoso de Athayde, where we involved with the cause as active researchers of the community, with collaborative mapping techniques we carried out a field work with the students of the third year of high school, where we found problems with holes in the streets, burned near the school, high woods in contact with electric wiring, among others. They influence directly or indirectly in the dynamics of the school, as well as in the whole community. Through this research we had a new look at the reality of the school and the municipality that we are involved in, becoming more critical beings. Then cartography enables us to go beyond, letting us stop being mere spectators and act as protagonists of our history.
