“…The third stage involved constructing geographical models using the free platform GoogleMyMaps ® and the ArcGIS ® software. These platforms were used to convert obtained addresses into geolocated points containing information about the nutritional diagnosis, following the technique defined by Eichelberger [14]. To construct polygons, the authors visually delineated them according to the clustering trend displayed on the GoogleMyMaps® platform and confirmed by the heat map generated in the ArcGIS® software.…”

Objective This study aims to build geographic models related to the nutritional status of adolescents and describe territories regarding the prevalence of malnutrition, overweight, and obesity, in order to spatially represent how the nutritional status of adolescents is distributed in the city. Methods Using geocoding techniques, graphic models were built using data from the SISVAN platform, as well as the addresses and nutritional status of adolescents aged 10 to 19 years in the municipality of Divinópolis, in the state of Minas Gerais (Brazil), between 2020 and 2021. Results There was a prevalence of 34% of obesity and overweight in the 2020 and 2021 samples. The graphical models showed that there is no specific pattern of points for the spread of nutritional diagnoses, but it was possible to identify areas of heat and places with a higher concentration of overweight. Underweight had a homogeneous spread and did not stand out in the formation of profiles. Conclusion Geographic tools with the adolescents’ nutritional profile were successfully modeled, which have the potential to contribute to better health indicator management in the assessed territory, even with the limitations of the study.

“…Another part of the current geocoding literature deals with geocoding application and issues solving in an explicit geographic area such as in Croatia [11], Turkish [12], Brazil [13], China [6][7][8], Australia [14], South Africa [15], Morocco [16], Cuba [17] and India [18]. Most of these countries are developing ones and have to deal with rapid urban growth which introduces problems such as ambiguous region boundaries and lack of convention in spellings of toponyms.…”

In this study, we present an original method that enhances geocoding systems in poorly mapped areas thanks to public company data and a multi-agent system. In contrast with industrialized countries, many developing countries lack formal postal address systems assignments and usage, making the operation of translating text-based addresses to absolute spatial coordinates, known as geocoding, a big challenge. We recreated a standard of address as it is perceived and used by local people, a kind of non-official national address standard since there is no official one in these areas. Then, we designed a multi-agent system in which agents are assigned different tasks of geocoding process and can perform negotiation to achieve a global objective: find the best possible match or approximation of a location-based on current knowledge. Verification of the usefulness of the proposed approach is made in comparison with Google Geocoding API which shows that the proposed approach has great potential to geocode addresses considering local context semantic issues.

“…While the latest geocoding literature deals with the latest techniques in the matter, such as machine learning [3] and deep learning particularly [4], the classical issues related to historical address structure and standardization remain relevant [5,6]. The general literature deals with geographic related applications in different countries such as in Australia [7], Brazil [8], China [9], Croatia [10], Cuba [11], Germany [12], India [13], Morocco [14], Quebec [15], South Africa [16], Turkey [17], etc. The applications based on address locators are more than ever evolving, and the need for reliable and accurate address systems has never been more.…”

Addressing systems have a key role in understanding and managing economic connections and social conditions, especially in urban territories. Developing countries need to learn from previous experiences and adapt solutions and techniques to their local contexts. A review of the world bank's experience in addressing cities in Africa during the 1990s provides valuable lessons. It provides an understanding of the operational issues and the key success factors of such operations. It also helps to understand the conceptual components of these systems and the efforts required to build them in the field before the creation of their IT infrastructure. An addressing experience from a private sector initiative in Casablanca-Morocco is also reviewed, where efforts concern the creation of a comprehensive database of addresses. The methods used to collect the data in the field are presented as well as the conceptual model for its integration. The validity of geocoding techniques, which represent the core computing tools of addressing systems, is discussed. In the Moroccan context, the official addressing rules follow Western models and standards, used by default in geocoding algorithms. The study of data collected in Casablanca, processed with GIS tools and algorithms, shows that the percentage of cases not respecting these rules is far from negligible. The analysis was particularly interested in the two main criteria of address numbers: "parity" and "respect of intervals", analyzed by street segment. Compliance with these conditions was only observed at about 53%. It is then concluded that a geocoding system based on a linear model is not sufficiently validated in the Moroccan context.
