Abstract
Instituto Pereira Passos (IPP) is the Rio de Janeiro City Hall department responsible for the maintenance of the cartographic database and management of municipal geoprocessing system. Through its City Information Division (DIC), the Institute performs the collection, analysis and production of information, disseminated in the form of tables, maps, studies and web application, being considered a department of excellence and national reference in the management of geographic information. Engaged in the easy access to information, all products of IPP are available in its website, Armazem de Dados (www.armazemdedados.rio.rj.gov.br), for the most diversified kind of users, including public administration, academic institutions, companies and citizens. This is the main vehicle to spread geographic and statistical data about the city of Rio de Janeiro. Hosted in Armazem de Dados and elaborated by IPP, in partnership with the Municipal Education Secretariat (SME) and the Municipal Company of Multimedia Ltda (MultiRIO), the ‘Armazenzinho’ project aims to spread the city information to children of 6 from to 12 years old. The ‘Armazenzinho’ is divided in 5 (five) main modules (Rio History, Rio Data, Space Vision, Cartography and Entertainment) and has a database management system which allows a dynamic update of tabular information, geographic and historical features, programmed images and didactic-pedagogical ludic activities. The proposal includes to stimulate the City knowledge, to transmit information in an easy and interactive way and to improve the net users who access the site Armazem de Dados, since October 2001. ‘Armazenzinho’ is an important instrument of support to education and knowledge, providing dissemination of information in a friendlier and playful way, with elements to subsidize the teachers work in the classroom.
