This Thursday (12), in Vitória - ES, the IBGE held the workshop “A territory of information: Potentials of the 2022 Census Data”. With the aim of presenting technical and operational aspects of the survey, the technicians presented its potential for decision-making by local managers.
Among the topics covered in the Workshop, the latest Census developments and operation figures were released throughout the afternoon. In addition, tools and ways to access data (2022 Census Overview, PGI, Sidra, BDiA) and the prospects for upcoming releases were highlighted. More than 30 people participated in the Workshop, including managers, IBGE servants, teachers, the press and representatives of society.
The first speaker, Gustavo Junger da Silva, highlighted the progress made in collecting information from Indigenous and Quilombola populations. "Mapping these peoples required a logistical operation in which we needed to think about which vehicle could be used to reach the location. We often reached the territories by helicopter and with the security to approach different ethnic groups," he explained.
Next, speaker Pedro Helal talked about the Census thopics and mentioned data such as birth registration, religion, internal and international migration, marriage, work and income.
Civil servant Bruno Mandelli addressed the potentiality of Census data for local managers. "The proportion of vacant housing units, for example, may require public planning policies to avoid having more idle places. Another example that requires public policies are housing units without bathrooms. This data raises issues and problems that can be solved," he stressed.
Interactive tools
In the second block of the Workshop, the tools and ways to access the 2022 Census data were presented.
Mr. Helal showed the Overview platform while Mandelli spoke about the IBGE Automatic Retrieval System (Sidra). "The website is very interactive and intuitive. It is an easy tool to use with maps, graphs and other Census applications," listed Mr. Helal.
The Interactive Geographic Platform (PGI) was another tool presented to the Workshop participants. On the occasion, civil servant Fernando Jakes showed that the focus of the PGI is to present information in an interactive way. "The PGI is organized by topics with which you can integrate data. Information comes as publications and maps. In the publication, you will find methodological notes that will help you understand the maps", he explained.
The Workshop ended with the presentation of the Environmental Database and Information (BDiA) by civil servant Therence de Sarti who answered the main questions of those present.
