In this proposal\, we highlight the importance of using FOSS to r educe costs\, automate processes\, and simplify operations in QGIS\, with a special focus on applications for large and environmentally sensitive ar eas such as the Amazon. Our presentation will detail the implementation of the GeoRondônia project and the use of the GeoINCRA plugin in QGIS\, emp hasizing its benefits in land regularization and environmental sustainabil ity.\n\nGeoRondônia Project - Land Regularization and Environmental Susta inability:\n\nThe GeoRondônia project is a partnership between the Federa l Institute of Education\, Science\, and Technology of Rondônia (IFRO) an d the National Institute for Colonization and Agrarian Reform (INCRA)\, th rough the Decentralized Execution Term (TED) No. 20/2021/DF/SEDE/INCRA-IFR O. With a duration of 48 months\, the project aims to title rural properti es in 120 Settlement Projects (PAs)\, covering a perimeter of 31\,000 km a nd benefiting more than 20\,000 families in 26 municipalities. The actions include georeferencing\, perimeter demarcation\, parceling\, occupational supervision\, and the Rural Environmental Registry (CAR). With an investm ent of approximately 23 million reais\, GeoRondônia has already benefited about 15\,000 families\, standing out as a model of efficiency and econom y.\n\nImportance of FOSS in Geospatial Projects:\n\nRondônia has 222 Sett lement Projects\, with approximately 66\,000 rural properties\, and a larg e part is being served by the GeoRondônia project. However\, the biggest obstacle is data processing\, which involves large volumes and complexity. Therefore\, the project sought ways to optimize processes and speed up th e achievement of goals within established deadlines\, finding in QGIS+GeoI NCRA the tools needed for this objective.\nAdopting free and open-source s oftware (FOSS) is essential to reduce costs and increase the accessibility of geospatial technologies. Software like QGIS offers a robust and flexib le platform for implementing georeferencing and land registration projects \, eliminating the need for expensive licenses and allowing the customizat ion of tools according to the specific needs of the projects. With the sav ings generated in the GeoRondônia project using QGIS and the GeoINCRA plu gin\, it was possible to direct resources and optimize other processes in the project. Additionally\, the solution created using these applications can be replicated to all Brazilian states.\n\nGeoINCRA Plugin: Simplifying Georeferencing in QGIS:\n\nThe GeoINCRA plugin was developed to optimize the georeferencing process of rural properties according to INCRA's techni cal standards. Implemented in Python\, the plugin integrates with QGIS's p rocessing framework\, offering functionalities that automate data querying \, attribute filling\, and document generation required for land certifica tion. The main tools of the plugin include:\nLoad Vertex Layer - Loads sel ected features from a point layer into the vertices layer of the GeoINCRA database\; Download ODS Spreadsheet from SIGEF - Generates an empty ODS sp readsheet for later filling\; Query INCRA Database - Connects to INCRA's d atabase to query land assets and generate vector layers\; CSV from INCRA t o PointZ Layer - Transforms CSV vertex files from INCRA into PointZ layers \; GeoINCRA to TopoGeo - Copies features from the GeoINCRA database layers to the TopoGeo database\, facilitating the generation of descriptive memo rials and topographic maps\; Generate TXT for ODS Spreadsheet - Creates a text file with data needed to fill the SIGEF ODS spreadsheet\; Fill Vertex Code - Automatically fills the vertex code attribute in the GeoINCRA data base's vertex layer\, easing the work of the georeferencing professional.\ n\nMethodology and Results:\n\nThe adopted methodology includes the modeli ng of geospatial data in a Geopackage database\, the implementation of a p lugin in QGIS\, and the integration of these elements to optimize the geor eferencing workflow. The GeoINCRA database was designed to store topograph ic data in a standardized and integrated manner\, while the GeoINCRA plugi n automates processes that traditionally would be manual and prone to erro rs.\nThe results achieved with the use of QGIS+GeoINCRA are: Automation of ODS spreadsheets that were previously done manually\; Reduction of the ti me to prepare the spreadsheets by 80%\, as the spreadsheets are generated in bulk\, i.e.\, hundreds of plots can be generated at once\; Elimination of topological errors that were only seen when trying to insert the data i nto SIGEF (INCRA's georeferencing platform)\; Elimination of errors in tex tual attributes (spelling errors)\; Savings for the project\, without the need to purchase licenses.\nThe results obtained demonstrate that the comb ined use of the GeoINCRA database and the GeoINCRA plugin results in great er productivity\, better data standardization\, and elimination of softwar e license costs. This approach facilitates access for small companies and professionals to the georeferencing market\, aligning with federal governm ent policies on the use of FOSS and promoting independence and public reso urce savings.\n\nWho Benefits from the GeoINCRA+QGIS Solution:\n\nThe pres entation at FOSS4G 2024 will highlight how the use of FOSS\, exemplified b y QGIS and the GeoINCRA plugin\, can transform georeferencing projects for a diverse range of stakeholders. This includes government agencies\, envi ronmental organizations\, and small surveying companies\, particularly in vast and environmentally critical areas like the Amazon. By reducing costs \, automating processes\, and ensuring high-quality results\, these soluti ons significantly contribute to land regularization\, environmental sustai nability\, and socio-economic development in the region. This approach ens ures that even resource-constrained entities can efficiently manage geospa tial data and meet regulatory requirements.
