Abstract
 ArcGIS as an Instrument of City Management Track: State and Local Government Author(s): Tânia Nóbrega, Niedja Lemos, Katia Silva This work was developed in the city of Joao Pessoa, Brazil. First, we analyzed the improper occupation of public areas during the urbanization process. Areas originally planned to be used as public use areas were, due to disorderly occupation and undue invasions, deprived the population of green areas and public facilities that would have contributed to their well-being. The shape of city lots was used as a methodological procedure, where allotment aimed at becoming public use areas were highlighted and a database with information about those areas was created. Finally, we used the Tax Collection System database (SQL) to compare the intended use of those areas with their present use. Based on this data, we identified a 66 percent loss of green areas and a 74 percent loss of public facilities for areas of irregular occupation, private and/or religious facilities and community associations.
