O raciocinio geografico e as chaves de leitura da Covid-19 no territorio brasileiro

Abstract

To understand how covid-19 is distributed in Brazil, geographers use geographical reasoning supported by mapping techniques and spatial representation. We thus propose here a series of procedures to understand the disease in the geographic space, first with an exploration and descriptive analysis of the data, a spatial analysis and a synthesis through graphical modeling, followed by a cartographic communication. As a result, we hope that this theoretical and methodological path may guide the creation of a world image capable of responding to the most urgent demands posed by the pandemic, and concomitantly create reflections on how the production of geographical space creates vulnerabilities in this perverse globalization.
