AbstractNas últimas décadas, os avanços na área das geotecnologias popularizaram o uso de informações espaciais. A crescente oferta de dados públicos, de softwares gratuitos e de hardwares com maior capacidade de processamento, a preços mais baixos, dissemina entre usuários finais ferramentas e técnicas anteriormente restritas a determinados circuitos técnicos e científicos. Fazemos neste capítulo uma apresentação geral sobre o uso de dados populacionais em Gestão de Políticas Públicas, por meio das geotecnologias. Assim como vem ocorrendo no meio acadêmico, em Estudos de População e nas Ciências Ambientais, a espacialização de dados populacionais em Sistemas de Informações Geográficas (SIG) pode ser de grande proveito para a administração pública. Ao permitir a localização de características socioambientais, e o relacionamento das variáveis sociodemográficas com variáveis de diversas ordens (atributos biofísicos e infraestruturais, por exemplo) nas unidades territoriais por onde as populações se distribuem, o SIG apresenta grande potencial analítico, dando suporte à tomada de decisões.

AbstractThe objective of this study is to analyze population distribution in the state of Pará in Brazil using data from the2010 Population Census in association with the land use and land cover data from TerraClass arranged in a statistical grid. The role of 113 Protected Areas (including 46 Indigenous Lands, 51 Sustainable Use Conservation Units and 16 Integral Protection Conservation Units) is analyzed from the standpoint of their demographic rural-urban gradients and in terms of their land use cover. Information on the use and cover of land in Protected Areas along with census data were incorporated into a statistical grid using GIS. The spatial relationship of information layers in the cells indicates that the state's population is highly concentrated in a few areas, a pattern that is reproduced to some extent in the Protected Areas (Gini coefficient for the distribution of households is higher than 0.9). The area of the Protected areas is less populated and retains a greater extension of forested areas, by comparison to the state. Despite having extensive segments devoid of occupied households and the largest expanse of forest coverage (57%) in the state, Protected Areas also have urban areas associated with other uses and land cover change. The results indicate that population dynamics and changes in the uses and covering of land are related in a broader manner, thereby suggesting the need for reflection on urbanization and changes in land use and land cover change within a more integrated approach.

AbstractIn this paper a method for increasing the resolution of census data is tested and presented, by aggregating the data onto a regular grid. The methodology consists of (1) the aggregation of households, represented by their geographical coordinates obtained by the 2007 Population Count, carried out by the Brazilian Census Office (IBGE) and, (2) the unbundling of the data by census tracts on the basis of proportionality. The grids obtained were used to estimate the resident population of 114 conservation units in Brazilian Legal Amazon, all of them instituted in or before 2006. The intention was to test this methodology on territorial units that follow neither the official political-administrative boundaries of states and cities, nor the boundaries designed by IBGE for collecting data. The methodology also contributes to the study of populations living in protected areas, due to the scarcity of population estimates in the conservation units. The results showed a population of 325,398 inhabitants in the selected units, 297,693 of whom were in units for Sustainable Use and 27,705 in Permanent Protection units. Adjoining areas have an estimated joint population of 1,020,237. Despite the limitations involved in using the 2007 Population Count, the aggregating of data into grids would seem to be a promising methodology in view of the improvements in IBGE's use of geotechnology. The grid minimizes problems that come up in the use of administrative units or census data and may represent an approach that can be applied usefully in demography and other areas of knowledge.

AbstractIdentifying the demographic elements that comprise the population status (structure, dimension and spatial distribution), the demographic variables (birth, mortality, migration) and the demographic dynamics allows us to better understand Brazil and its transitions. The present article – grounded on data based on the last Population Censuses of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) and on data used in the Population Projections of the IBGE - 2018 Review – intends to draw a current picture of the resident population in Brazil. Over the last decades, the population structure has been undergoing significant changes resulting from what demographers tend to describe as demographic transition – a social phenomenon that affects all the Brazilian population, although it can have many faces stemming from regional and social diversities. The phenomenon is materialized in the reduction of mortality followed by a drop in birth rates (CARMO; CAMARGO, 2018).
