Poblaciones
What is it?

Poblaciones is a platform that facilitates the creation of collaborative spaces for the management of spatial data. It allows users to upload and georeference datasets in various formats, build indicators, and share or work privately with the information. Designed to be accessible, it requires minimal software and hardware requirements, thanks to its architecture based on standard technologies. Developed by the Argentine Social Debt Observatory and CONICET, Poblaciones seeks to democratize access to public information and promote open science. It offers a platform for the visualization and analysis of social data, promoting collaboration between researchers and facilitating decision-making in public policies. Its collaborative approach invites it to expand its use in Latin America and the Caribbean, benefiting governments, NGOs and civil society.

What problems does it solve?

Populations solves the problem of access and management of spatial data, allowing the creation of collaborative spaces to upload, georeference and analyze datasets. It facilitates the democratization of public information and promotes open science, supporting decision-making in public policies and collaboration between researchers.

How does the tool work?

Web application for spatial data publication. Collaborative environment for data sharing. Focuses on population-related geospatial information.

Open standards

Application developed primarily in PHP and C#, using open-source technologies. Distributed under the GPL-3.0 license, it promotes software transparency and reuse.
