Objective: The objective of this work was to create a System for Mapping Geographic Information Applied to Environmental Research, which is free and intuitive, allowing the generation of georeferenced maps for use in various research works across different fields. Theoretical Framework: GIS technologies are highlighted as essential for integrating and analyzing spatial and temporal data, facilitating the creation of real-time environmental monitoring and analysis solutions. Method: The software development took place in the computer lab of Unespar Campus Paranaguá, using Java, Spring Boot, Leaflet, OpenStreetMap, and Eclipse. The initial visualization shows the collection points, and subsequently, other functionalities are added using the settings panel for creating customized maps. Results and Discussion: The creation of this tool allowed for the generation of heat maps from georeferenced data, with a simple and intuitive interface, enabling researchers to configure data visualization according to their needs. The A-SIG (Environmental Geographic Information System) tool facilitates analysis and decision-making in environmental research. Research Implications: This software tool, called A-SIG (Environmental Geographic Information System), proved to be effective and easy to use, allowing the generation of accurate heat maps, thus facilitating analysis and decision-making in environmental research. Originality/Value: The work concluded that the combination of georeferencing and development software can meet academic and research needs, promoting innovation and efficiency in environmental analysis.
