Description:

Security Forces and Emergency Response Centers

This point layer represents the location of state security forces and emergency response facilities, including police stations, fire departments, and military bases.

These institutions play a crucial role in public safety, emergency response, and combating illegal activities that significantly impact the Amazon region’s environment. Spatial analysis of these facilities allows for assessing their territorial distribution and response capacity, helping to identify areas with limited emergency response capabilities for wildfires, natural disasters, and socio-environmental conflicts.

Additionally, these entities are essential for preventing and combating illicit activities such as illegal mining, unauthorized logging, and wildlife trafficking, contributing to ecosystem protection and environmental law enforcement. This information serves as a strategic resource for security policy planning and territorial management, optimizing resource allocation and strengthening the operational capacity of institutions responsible for security and environmental protection.

This dataset, compiled by AmazoniaForever360+ (2023), is an adaptation of publicly available data provided for illustrative and reference purposes only, with no application for emergency response. The data originate from the OpenStreetMap (OSM) project. The layer represents security forces and emergency response centers as geographic points.

The GOBSERV field identifies the type of institution, such as "Military installation" (military base) or "Police Station" (police headquarters).
The DESIGN field includes the specific name of the establishment, such as "Comando Marina," "Policía de Cotocollao," or "Golden Grove Police Station."

OpenStreetMap (OSM) Data

OpenStreetMap (OSM) is a collaborative, open-source geospatial database that collects information on infrastructure and services worldwide. OSM data are structured into nodes, ways, and relations, each labeled with tags describing their function. For security forces, healthcare services, and higher education institutions, specific tags are used, such as:

Security forces: amenity=police, emergency=fire_station, military=*

These data are crucial for territorial planning, service accessibility analysis, and emergency management in the Amazon region.

GIS Applications Using OpenStreetMap Data:

OSM data are widely used in open-source GIS platforms for multiple applications, including:

QGIS: Importing and analyzing OSM data using plugins like QuickOSM.
PostGIS: Integrating spatial databases for advanced analysis and web mapping.
GRASS GIS: Modeling urban infrastructure and service accessibility.
MapServer and GeoServer: Publishing interactive maps with OSM data.
Leaflet and OpenLayers: Developing web applications with dynamic maps.
