Abstract

The ability of a Geographic Information System (GIS) in data processing makes it possible to store, analyze and disseminate information with the potential to perform complex analyzes, a very important factor in environmental licensing. In this context, the present proposal seeks to verify which benefits are triggered by GIS instruments, in the Environmental Licensing procedures of the state of Goiás. Environmental legislation has been evaluated, bibliographic research and previous experiences have been carried out. It was also verified, the current stage of use of GIS in the responsible environmental agency (SECIMA), and evaluations were carried out in the licensing routines. As well as interviews with technicians and managers, establishing what would be the main requirements needed to meet the main practices in geoprocessing. The result of the work allowed the creation of an Interactive Map – GIS online, enabling a better environmental licensing, by the practices of geotechnologies.
