%X Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are used
essentially for spatial analysis. They can lead to the development of methods
for analyzing and planning the use of geographical space and, consequently, are
helpful to the decision making process, assisting those responsible for
planning the use of a certain territory. This article is a result of the
¡°Project for the Integrated and Sustainable Management of Trans</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">- </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">boundary Hydric Resources of the Amazon Basin
considering Variability and Climate Change¡±, which has the goal of
strengthening institutional guidelines in order to plan and execute activities
related to the protection of the land, hydric resources and sustainable
management of the Amazon Basin, considering the existing impacts of climatic
changes. This article aims at analyzing the process of building and
implementing the GeoAmazonas GIS as one of the instruments for managing the
basin, including its contribution for standardizing different data sources in
the entire area of the basin and the identification of conflicts related the
use of water resources and vulnerability situations.
