DESCRIPTION:The field of speleology is dependent upon the accurate mapping 
 and analysis of data to gain an understanding of subterranean environments
 . Free and open-source software (FOSS) has facilitated advancements in spa
 tial data management\, offering robust tools for data collection\, analysi
 s\, and fieldwork. Software solutions such as PostgreSQL with PostGIS\, QG
 IS\, GRASS\, and QField facilitate efficient geospatial data management an
 d data collection. The accurate location determination of caves is of para
 mount importance\, given their significant ecological\, historical\, and c
 ultural value. In Brazil\, the implementation of rigorous environmental le
 gislation has resulted in the establishment of a 250-meter buffer zone sur
 rounding caves. This regulatory measure is designed to ensure the protecti
 on of these vulnerable ecosystems and to regulate activities within their 
 vicinity. The radius may be modified based on the findings of environmenta
 l studies\, thereby ensuring the preservation of caves while facilitating 
 socio-economic development. This study presents EspeleoVale\, a software a
 s a service (SaaS) solution hosted on AWS. It employs open source scriptin
 g languages and frameworks\, including AngularJS\, PostgreSQL with PostGIS
 \, and MapStore2 integrated with Geoserver\, to effectively manage and vis
 ualize speleological data for a mining company in Brazil. By employing SQL
  queries and spatial functions\, users can visualize cave locations and th
 eir restricted areas\, thereby facilitating the assessment of project impa
 cts on these geomorphological features. In this study\, examples of visual
 ization and spatial analysis are presented for five hypothetical caves and
  a hypothetical project\, returning intersections\, differences and merged
  areas\, which are vital for the environmental protection of cavities and 
 for knowing project restrictions. Thus\, the integration of an RDBMS for s
 patial analysis and FOSS tools for data visualization fosters new developm
 ents and promotes more efficient speleology data management.
