Retos y oportunidades que representa el COVID-19 para la Geomática en Perú

Abstract

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 Pandemic in Peru, geomatic tools have been a support of geospatial information for decision makers, where initially it was sought to find the sources of contagion by identifying the different levels high, medium, low of contagion incidences. All this under a basic mapping that spatially allowed to follow the evolution and trends of this disease. Thus, its help is transferred not only to the health field, but also to economic activities in which geomatics has gained relevance, and institutions are already interested in using it. This has presented an opportunity to further explore geomatics and identify the challenges it faces, such as the slow reactivation of the economy that allows financing more geomatics projects.
