Assessment of Public Spaces Through Autonomous Processes: Digital Mapping and Remote Sensing of Tourist Areas.

This research aims to explore the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) and Computer Vision as tools to collect spatial data (qualitative and quantitative) and the dynamics of use of public spaces and generate information for public managers. During the research, drones will be used to capture videos and images of a case study selected with the help of a team of project partner managers. The collected data will be translated into information for accurate and efficient decision-making, based on the use of knowledge extraction and data mining strategies. The extracted knowledge will be presented to managers as a tool prototype that helps in the design and management of public spaces present in areas with great tourist influence. The adoption of new technologies can strengthen the means of application and revitalize the global partnership for the development of innovative built environments, thus impacting on the UN's sustainable development goals.
