Thus it was possible to specalize them and systemaize them using an specific geoprocesing software – the ArcGIS. Lately the Kernel density Estimator was apllied to data to become possible visualizing the spots of higher concentration of point. Then it was possible to idenify and analyze areas with larger rates of requests upon social insects, sylvan animals and even environmental crimes denounces.
