GODINHO VERRAN, PEDRO  and  MARQUES STROHAECKER, TÂNIA. METHODOLOGICAL PROPOSAL FOR IDENTIFICATION OF UNIFIED AREAS OF EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION EQUIPMENTS IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF PORTO ALEGRE / RS. GOT [online]. 2021, n.22, pp.200-229.  Epub Dec 30, 2021. ISSN 2182-1267.  https://doi.org/10.17127/got/2021.22.009.

The objective of this research was to present a methodological proposal for the identification of areas lacking equipment for early childhood education in the municipality of Porto Alegre / RS, using Geoprocessing tools. The methodology included data from the demographic census and the school census, which were manipulated through Geoprocessing tools for the generation of thematic maps. The mapping was performed on two scales of analysis. On the first scale of analysis, the municipality was analyzed divided into 17 regions, with two regions being selected for more specific analyzes, as they have low rates of attendance to early childhood education. In the second scale of analysis, the two selected regions were mapped with a greater level of detail, using the dasimetric method. In addition, were mapped points with the geographic coordinates of daycare centers and preschools for the generation of recruitment rays, in order to identify the areas with low conditions of access to this equipment. Thus, two priority areas were identified for the installation of daycare centers and two areas for the installation of preschools. Considering that the databases used in this research are national in scope, the use of this methodology makes it possible to compare the different realities of supply and demand for early childhood education among Brazilian municipalities.
