1 INTRODUCTION
Bibliometric analysis, a fundamental field in the evaluation of scientific production in various areas, plays a crucial role in identifying and understanding trends, in addition to exercising bibliographic control. Since its conception in 1934, Bibliometrics has evolved to become an essential tool in the organization and management of knowledge.
Over the years, Bibliometrics has stood out as a valuable methodology, providing relevant indicators related to information and knowledge. Its application is especially notable in scientific and technological systems, where it plays a fundamental role in the evaluation and management of science and technology in different contexts.
Its usefulness extends to mitigating subjectivity in indexing and retrieving information, contributing to a more objective approach in analyzing the scientific panorama. The ability to generate quantitative indicators allows for a more comprehensive view of the contributions and impacts of different areas of research.
It is noted that it not only provides a retrospective view of scientific production, but also serves as a prospective tool, helping to identify new directions and emerging areas. Its effective application contributes significantly to the advancement and continuous improvement of scientific and technological knowledge.
In addition to its essential role in the analysis of scientific production, Bibliometrics is also associated with Scientometrics , focusing on the quantitative measurement of scientific communication and the advancement of scientific knowledge. The systematic analysis of scientific studies provides the identification of trends and specific characteristics in different areas of knowledge.
In this scenario, the main objective of this study is to map scientific production and identify research gaps at the intersection between geotechnologies and sanitation in the region of Porto Murtinho/MS. The integration of geotechnologies into sanitation not only enables efficient management of water and environmental resources, but also plays a crucial role in preventing environmental impacts and promoting public health.
Therefore, conducting studies on this topic proves to be crucial for identifying emerging trends, avoiding redundancies and contributing significantly to the advancement of specialized knowledge. By contextualizing the research problem in a broader scenario, the study not only provides guidance for practical decisions, but also strengthens the scientific community by consolidating and organizing existing knowledge.
2 THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
Bibliometrics refers to the application of statistical techniques to describe the elements of specific literature, covering academic articles in journals, books and even online sources and other media. Its origins date back to 1934 with Otlet 's " Traite de Documentation " . This research methodology is centered on two main concerns: the analysis of scientific production in a given field and the promotion of bibliographic control (Silva; Gonzalez; Marangoni, 2018).
The authors Guedes and Borschiver (2005) contributed to conceptualizing the term bibliometrics . In their understanding, bibliometrics consists of a statistical tool, it plays a crucial role in mapping and generating various indicators related to the processing and management of information and knowledge. Its use is particularly relevant in scientific and technological information and communication systems, as well as in productivity contexts, being essential for the planning, evaluation and management of science and technology in a scientific community or specific country.
Bibliometrics , in addition to being a quantitative instrument, plays a crucial role in mitigating the subjectivity inherent in indexing and retrieving information, contributing significantly to the generation of knowledge in specific areas . Its usefulness goes further, acting as vital support in decision-making related to information and knowledge management. By organizing and systematizing scientific and technological information, it provides a solid foundation for the continuous advancement of research and development.
In the scientific sphere, Bibliometrics emerges as an indispensable tool, helping researchers in the systematization, classification and evaluation of specific aspects of studies. This is achieved through the identification of trends and characteristics of research, contributing to the development and evolution of specific areas of knowledge. Studies carried out by Lindahl , Stenling , Lindwall and Colliander (2015) and Job (2018) highlight the importance of Bibliometrics as a method that enables the investigation of various elements of scientific and technological communication.
Thus, it is a valuable tool for discovering the state of the art in specific areas of knowledge, offering a comprehensive approach that includes temporal, authorial and thematic analyses. This methodology, as pointed out by Job (2018), allows an in-depth understanding of research dynamics, contributing to strategic guidance and continuous progress in the scientific and technological field. The role of Bibliometrics it transcends the mere analysis of numbers, becoming essential for understanding and improving knowledge in various disciplines and research domains.
Scientometrics , in turn, emerged in the 1980s, emerging from the visualization of domains based on citations . Its first definitions considered Scientometrics as the "measurement of the computer process", ( Börner ; Chen; Boyack , 2003; Spinak , 1996) a concept that was expanded until it was stated as "the study of the quantitative aspects of science as a discipline or economic activity" ( Tague-Sutckifee , Apud Marcias-Chapula , 1998, p. 154), or as Börner , Chen and Boyack (2003) summarize, "the quantitative study of scientific communication, which applies bibliometrics combined with scientific literature".
Silva, Gonzalez and Marangoni (2018) define Scientometrics as a discipline dedicated to the study of measuring and quantifying scientific progress, arising from the concern with the evaluation of knowledge in different fields of science. This methodology involves a quantitative analysis and assessment of the interactions between scientific activity, productivity and advancement in knowledge.
Scientometrics plays a crucial role in enabling the monitoring of the development of science, offering a detailed view of the evolution and/or decline of different areas of knowledge . Through metrics and indicators, this approach makes it possible to identify patterns, trends and gaps in scientific production, promoting a more comprehensive understanding of the scientific scenario.
Furthermore, Scientometrics plays a strategic auxiliary role in funding bodies and educational institutions by guiding efforts and resources allocated to research. The systematic analysis of scientometric results provides valuable support for decision-making, helping to define priorities, efficiently allocate resources and direct investments to areas that have the greatest potential for impact and contribution to the advancement of scientific knowledge.
In this way, Scientometrics not only establishes itself as an analytical tool for evaluating scientific activity, but also as a strategic instrument for the management and effective direction of scientific research and development policies. By integrating quantitative methods into the assessment of scientific progress, Scientometrics emerges as a fundamental pillar for promoting excellence and efficiency in research and innovation activities.
In this context, we conducted a meticulous investigation, mapping the theses and dissertations available in the Theses and Dissertations Library (BDTD). Using a Boolean search approach as an effective information retrieval system, we combine the following terms: "Geoprocessing" AND "Porto Murtinho", "Geoprocessing" AND " Chaco ", and ("Porto Murtinho" OR " Chaco ") AND ( "Geotechnologies" OR "Geoprocessing"). This method allowed the identification of predominant publication sources and, more significantly, highlighted gaps in existing knowledge in this area of research.
The fundamental objective of this research is to map scientific production and, simultaneously, highlight specific research gaps, offering a comprehensive view of the current state of knowledge at the intersection between geotechnologies and sanitation in the Porto Murtinho/MS region. This strategic approach aims to not only consolidate existing understanding but also provide valuable insights for future investigations and improvement of knowledge in this specific field.
By outlining the identified gaps, the research seeks to guide and encourage additional studies that can fill these gaps, contributing to the continuous advancement of scientific and practical understanding at the intersection between geotechnologies and sanitation in Porto Murtinho/MS
The region presents biological attributes that characterize the Chaco . For Prado (1993) the chaco sensu stricto , in Brazil, it is only represented in Porto Murtinho/MS.
The Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics - IBGE, in the vegetation map (IBGE, 2012), describes the presence of several Chaco phytophysiognomies . In the Brazilian Vegetation Classification System (IBGE, 2012), the Chaco is classified as Estépica Savanna and subdivided into the phytophysiognomies Forested Estépic Savanna (dense forest formation - Chaquenha forest ) , Wooded Estépic Savanna ( more open Chaquenha forest formation ), Estépica Park Savanna ( vegetation formation predominantly composed of the caranda palm, Copernicia alba, whose density is regionally called carandazal ) and Grassy-woody Steppe Savanna (dry or floodable native fields, with herbaceous plants and woody shrubs).
Given the characteristics highlighted, it is imperative to study the intersection between geotechnologies and sanitation in Porto Murtinho/MS, aiming to support strategic decisions, promote sustainable development and improve living conditions in the region. The application of geotechnologies in sanitation not only enables more efficient management of water and environmental resources, but also plays a crucial role in preventing environmental impacts, promoting public health and guiding intervention actions in critical areas.
This innovative approach not only promotes the operational efficiency of sanitation systems, but also boosts regional development, attracts investment and fosters innovation. A deep understanding of how geotechnologies can be integrated into sanitation offers the Porto Murtinho region significant benefits, enabling it to adapt to climate change and promote a more sustainable and resilient future.
By promoting the integration of these technologies into sanitation, not only is resource management optimized, but a solid basis is also created for informed decision-making. The spatial analysis provided by geotechnologies makes it possible to identify critical areas, improve urban planning, and direct efforts to mitigate environmental risks. Consequently, the Porto Murtinho region positions itself as an example of how technological innovation can be combined with sustainable development, promoting quality of life and resilience in the face of contemporary challenges.
Therefore, conducting a study of theses and dissertations related to the topic is essential, as it provides a comprehensive analysis of the current state of knowledge, allowing the identification of gaps and emerging trends. This literature review not only avoids redundancies, ensuring the efficiency of resources used in new research, but also validates and contextualizes the results obtained, strengthening the credibility of the findings.
Study provides inspiration for new approaches, stimulates innovation and contributes to the development of specialized knowledge. By contextualizing the research problem in a broader scenario, the study not only guides decision-making, but also contributes to the advancement of the scientific community, consolidating and organizing existing knowledge and facilitating the dissemination of information.
3 METHOLOGY
Boolean search was used in the Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD), 5which is the application of Boolean Logic to a type of information retrieval system, in which two or more terms are combined, relating logical operators that make the search more efficient, restricted or detailed. Boolean operators are based on Boolean algebra and allow logical-mathematical operations to be carried out. These operators are: AND (AND), OR (OR) and NOT (NOT), and they are used to combine keywords when searching in electronic databases. Using these operators can make the search more focused, producing more accurate results. However, before using operators, it is necessary to understand how they actually work ( Rich , 2004).
The careful selection of corpus components for the state of knowledge involved a thorough analysis of titles, abstracts and keywords. However, it is crucial to highlight, as observed by Ferreira (2002) and Ramanowski and Ens (2006), that this task was not without challenges due to the conciseness and scarcity of information in the summaries, the lack of clarity or the implicit objectives , as well as the lack of indicativeness in the titles, among other complexities.
Additionally, as mentioned previously, we used bibliometric analysis as a supplementary tool. This method explores the scientific landscape through a diversity of methods and procedures. This comprehensive approach involves examining publications from different journals, magazines, countries, institutions and authors.
Furthermore, by analyzing the citations used in studies, it is possible to identify patterns and significant changes in the field of research, providing valuable insights into emerging trends and the evolution of knowledge in the area in question. This complementary approach to analyzing bibliographic sources allows for a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the current state of knowledge, contributing to the continuous advancement of research and informed decision-making in various academic and professional areas.
4 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Exploring the Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD) in search of research on the use of geotechnologies in the Porto Murtinho region reveals a notable lack of available work. The limited number of theses and dissertations identified on this specific topic raises pertinent questions about the lack of approach in academic literature. This lack of work can be attributed to several factors, suggesting the need for a deeper and more enlightening investigation into geotechnologies in this location.
Among the possible reasons for the lack of research, firstly, the lack of prioritization or attention directed to this specific topic stands out. The limited availability of resources, both financial and technological, may have played a significant role in inhibiting the production of academic work on geotechnologies in Porto Murtinho.
Furthermore, the intrinsic complexity of the topic, combined with the need to access geospatial data specific to the region, may have discouraged researchers, thus contributing to the scarcity of identified work. This initial analysis highlights the importance of addressing existing knowledge gaps, recognizing the need for future research to expand the understanding and application of geotechnologies in the aforementioned region. The search resulted in 01 (one) job with the Boolean operator "Geoprocessing" AND "Porto Murtinho" , 07 (seven) 6with "Geoprocessing" AND " Chaco ", 02 (two) with ("Porto Murtinho" OR " Chaco ") AND ("Geotechnology" OR "Geoprocessing")7, since 09 (nine) appeared in searches with the other descriptors and no results with "Porto Murtinho" AND "sanitation", as categorized in Table 1.
Before we begin the analysis of the works, it is important to highlight that some works appeared in the searches in more than one descriptor, such as: Geotechnologies applied to the physical-conservationist diagnosis of the Transboundary Basin of the APA river; Tourist diagnosis of the Cardoso road in the municipality of Bela Vista do Paraíso - PR using geoprocessing; Geoprocessing in the analysis of land occupation and use in areas of urban expansion: case study of the Ribeirâo dos Pires sub-basin, municipality of Limeira (SP); Spatial distribution and seasonal fluctuation of ticks and geo environmental model on the favorability of Hydrochoerus occurrence hydrochaeris and Amblyomma cajennese ; Modeling the support capacity of the central area of Sete Lagoas, MG: subsidies for urban management; Study of climatic and environmental factors associated with the occurrence of Amblyomma ticks sculptum (Acari: Ixodidae ) adults in the metropolitan mesoregion of Rio de Janeiro; of Dermatobia hominis (Linnaeus JR., 1781) (Diptera: Cuterebridae ) in cattle in Organic Livestock at Fazendinha Agroecológica Km 47, RJ; and Population frequency of Dermatobia hominis (Linnaeus Jr., 1781) (Diptera: Cuterebridae ) and its correlation with climatic variables on two rural properties in southeastern Brazil.
The work found with the operator "Geoprocessamento" AND "Porto Murtinho" entitled "Geotechnologies applied to the physical-conservationist diagnosis of the Transboundary Basin of the APA River" describes research carried out in the transboundary hydrographic basin of the Apa River , which covers parts of Brazil and Paraguay and aimed to carry out a physical-conservationist diagnosis and prognosis of the basin, using remote sensing data and geoprocessing techniques. The theoretical-methodological approach involved integrated landscape analysis, focusing on the Geosystemic perspective and the methods used included the delimitation of the basin area, parametric terrain assessment, temporal analysis of land use and vegetation cover in the years 1987 and 2012, compilation of pedological and geological maps, application of environmental legislation and analysis of environmental fragility.
The results presented revealed that livestock and extensive agriculture are the main economic activities in the basin, corresponding to 51.71% of the total area. Based on the data obtained, the author prepared an Environmental Zoning, where he identified eight environmental zones, such as Legal Restriction Zone, Restricted Occupation Zone, Conservation Units Zone, Rural Productive Zone, Rural Settlement Zone, Indigenous Land Zone, Urbanized Zone and Zone of Incongruence.
The research entitled " Tourist diagnosis of the Cardoso road in the municipality of Bela Vista do Paraíso- PR using geoprocessing" addressed rural tourist diagnosis through Geoprocessing on the Cardoso road, located in the municipality of Bela Vista do Paraíso, PR. The objective presented by the author was to provide subsidies for the region's tourism development, using Geoprocessing as a tool.
Fieldwork was carried out to inventory the attractions of 26 properties, all georeferenced using the Global Positioning System (GPS), where digital cartography was used to prepare thematic maps to analyze the tourist vocation. They also discussed that three major attractions are in operation: the Vale do Lago farm, the Bom Jardim farm and the Santo Antonio chapel festival.
When analyzing the positive and negative aspects, Luiz (2018) pointed out that for tourism implementation, the positive aspects stand out. Although the activity does not initially result in debt relief and enrichment for owners, it has the potential to generate income and some jobs.
Azevedo (2008) in his text " Geoprocessing in the analysis of occupation and use of land in areas of urban expansion: case study of the Ribeirāo dos Pires sub-basin , municipality of Limeira (SP)" addresses the rapid socio-spatial transformations in the modern geographic space and the need for critical research to understand the contradictions in the space production process. He highlighted the use of geoprocessing techniques as a valuable aid for analyzing the dynamics of land occupation and use, due to the agility and possibilities of integrating geographic data into computational environments. The objective of the work was to map and analyze the evolution of land occupation and use in the Ribeirāo dos Pires sub-basin , using Henri Lefebvre's concept of space production.
He also discussed that despite being considered an area of environmental preservation due to its water sources, the sub-basin faces significant urban growth with the spread of subdivisions intended for recreational farms. The lack of economic prospects for rural producers contributes to the irregular division of land, promoting changes resulting from the expansion of sugarcane and the decline of citrus farming (Azevedo, 2008).
Closing the analysis, it is highlighted that the portion integrated into the urban perimeter of Limeira presents significant transformations in the spatial configuration, highlighting the emergence of a new centrality aimed at wealthier social classes. This phenomenon observed in the sub-basin points to a process of urban segregation in development. The emergence of centralized and privileged areas for certain social strata highlights the complexity of urban dynamics in the studied region.
The use of geoprocessing techniques during the research proved to be not only dynamic, but also highly effective in analyzing geographic data. The results obtained highlight the capacity and potential of this technology for obtaining relevant information in territorial analysis and management. The use of geospatial tools enabled a deeper understanding of changes in the urban landscape, allowing patterns, trends and critical areas to be identified.
Thus, the incorporation of geoprocessing in the study not only enriched the research, but also highlights its importance as a valuable tool for monitoring and planning urban development, therefore contributing to a more informed and strategic approach to the management of territorial space.
The work "Spatial distribution and seasonal fluctuation of ticks and geoenvironmental model on the favorability of occurrence of Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris and Amblyomma cajennense " presented as a doctoral thesis by Silveira (2014) presents the importance of monitoring in predicting the abundance of ticks, their potential hosts and the spatial and temporal distribution of these parasites for the control of zoonoses. The objectives were to evaluate the distribution, diversity and seasonal fluctuation of ticks in five areas in the state of Rio de Janeiro, in addition to analyzing the favorability of the occurrence of capybaras ( Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris ) and ticks ( Amblyomma cajennense ) in the municipality of Seropédica, RJ, through geoenvironmental analysis .
Geoenvironmental modeling , according to the author, revealed that 56% of the municipality had high or very high favorability for the occurrence of capybaras, associated with low slope, colluvial-alluvial plain, planosol soil and proximity to the drainage network. Furthermore, 86% of the municipality was classified as favorable or very favorable for the occurrence of A. cajennense , with characteristics similar to areas favorable for capybaras. Finally, it concludes that constant monitoring of the occurrence of capybaras and A. cajennense , especially in peripheral areas subject to intense environmental transformations, is crucial to prevent cases of Brazilian spotted fever and other zoonoses. It is observed that the field of study of the above research is completely different from the proposal we presented (Silveira, 2014).
In turn, Ferreira (2019) presents the dissertation entitled " Modeling the support capacity of the central area of Sete Lagoas, MG: subsidies for urban management " which addresses the transformation and growth of urban spaces, highlighting the need for investments in urban management and environmental to ensure an efficient connection between these areas. It used sustainability as the central concept, seeking to reconcile economic development with environmental conservation. The work focused on evaluating the urban parameters of the Land Use and Occupation Law (LUOS) of Sete Lagoas, in Minas Gerais, using geoprocessing and multi-criteria analysis.
The research author identified notable discrepancies, such as the evident overload in the city center and in the Chácara do Paiva neighborhood, driven by the parameters established in the Land Use and Occupation Law (LUOS). These nonconformities highlight the need to review and adapt these parameters to ensure a more equitable and sustainable distribution of urban development. The analysis also revealed that some less explored areas have a satisfactory support capacity, indicating potential locations for investment and urban expansion.
Given these findings, the author recommended expanding the research to cover the entire municipal territory. This comprehensive approach aims to update municipal laws and map building stocks more accurately, providing a solid basis for urban management.
In addition to benefiting the municipality in question, the application of these recommendations can serve as a replicable model for other municipalities, thus contributing to sustainable development and improving the quality of life in cities. The proposed study not only offers valuable insights to improve local urban planning, but also extends its potential impact beyond municipal borders, promoting more sustainable and effective practices in the management of urban space.
Pedro (2015) investigated the influence of climatic variables on the distribution of adult Amblyomma ticks sculptum in areas of Seropédica and Mangaratiba, in Rio de Janeiro in the work " Study of climatic and environmental factors associated with the occurrence of Amblyomma ticks sculptum (Acari: Ixodidae ) adults in the metropolitan mesoregion of Rio de Janeiro" .
The author used data from collections between 2008 and 2012, and considered variables such as temperature, humidity and precipitation on the collection days and in the previous 15 days. The analysis identified significant variables, such as temperature and humidity, and a final model highlighted the temperature between the 11th and 15th day before collection, humidity on the day before collection and precipitation on the 12th day before. It concluded that the ZIP models presented the best parameters and that temperature was identified as a protective factor in the days closest to collection, but as a risk in the days before. This work also does not fall within the scope of study proposed in this thesis (Pedro, 2015).
The work entitled "Abundance and risk factors of Dermatobia hominis (Linnaeus JR., 1781) (Diptera: Cuterebridae ) in cattle in Organic Livestock at Fazendinha Agroecológica Km 47, RJ" investigated the infestation of Dermatobia larvae hominis in dairy cattle under an organic system and was carried out in an organic farm. The author Florido (2011) analyzed the location and distribution of larvae in animals, considering factors such as sex, age, coat color and the influence of climatic variables. The results showed greater infestation in females, with a predominance on the right side of males and the left side of females, as well as adults were more affected than young people, and black coats painted white had greater infestation. It concluded that infestation rates were highest in November and December, while lowest in June and July and that temperature was the most influential climatic factor in dermatobiosis . In this way, organic management kept the animals at safe levels of infection, without causing clinical disease and animals with brown and red fur in typical shades were considered ideal in this context. This is another work different from the proposal we presented.
Medeiros (2015) in his master's thesis " Population frequency of Dermatobia hominis (Linnaeus Jr., 1781) (Diptera: Cuterebridae ) and its correlation with climatic variables on two rural properties in southeastern Brazil" discusses the Dermatobia hominis , known as the botfly, which is an insect endemic to the Neotropical region. It is argued that the lack of information makes diagnosing dermatobiosis difficult, as the fly is versatile for phoresy and has limited observations in the field due to the difficulty in observing its adult form.
The results obtained in the research revealed significant divergences in the number of botflies between the different study areas, pointing to a notable variation in the body distribution of cattle. One particularly relevant finding highlighted a correlation between the number of botflies and climatic factors, such as temperature and precipitation, in one of the areas investigated. Understanding these weather patterns becomes crucial, as they directly impact larval penetration and the pupal period , thus influencing the incidence of dermatobiosis .
The author's research focused mainly on dermatobiosis control methods , with an emphasis on integrated pest management. This approach demonstrates a significant effort to address the problem comprehensively, considering various aspects of the environment and the parasite's life cycle. However, the author identifies persistent gaps in understanding the complete cycle in the laboratory, as well as peculiar adaptations, such as the atrophied mouthparts.
It is worth mentioning that this research, although valuable, is outside the scope of this work. However, it highlights the complexity of the topic and points to the continued need for comprehensive and interdisciplinary investigations to improve control strategies and more deeply understand the ecology and biology of the parasite in question.
Pires (2020), when discussing the " Territorial analysis of land use and occupation conflicts in the Municipality of Santa Maria - RS", addresses the increase in irregular urban occupations in areas destined to the preservation of natural resources and environmental protection that result in growth disorderly in urban centers. The study focused on four neighborhoods in the north and northeast regions of the municipality of Santa Maria/RS, analyzing conflicts over land use and occupation. The author used geotechnologies and municipal legislation and proposed a methodology to prepare a preliminary environmental zoning and map the existing occupation. The results revealed conflicts in approximately 10% of the total area analyzed, indicating possible irregular occupations in environmental protection areas. The legal analysis highlighted that the continuity of activities in these areas requires authorization in specific cases. Finally, it is concluded that the methodology applied was effective and can be replicated in similar research.
The last work analyzed is the thesis by Menezes (2021) entitled " Soils with spodic features from the Pantanal Sul-Mato-Grossense: Antagonisms to pedogenic conditions" which deals with soils from the Pantanal Sul-Mato-Grossense that are identified with sporadic characteristics, where defy expectations of the central concept of pedogenesis by podzolization due to the neutral to alkaline conditions of the pedoenvironment. The study evaluated four soil profiles, highlighting morphologies indicative of spodic horizons and revealed characteristics of redoximorphism , such as low solum development, Fe and Mn mottling, and nodules with organic matter levels higher than the surrounding material. The author concluded that although the soils have neutral to alkaline pH, high base sum values and low levels of organic carbon and aluminum oxides, the accumulation of Fe, Al and C org in the nodules and B horizons characterizes the spodic features , diverging from the classical podzolization process .
The studies previously discussed stand out for their distinct approaches, diverging, however, from the central thematic core proposed in our research. It is notable that none of these works has explored in detail the application of geotechnologies in the specific context of diagnosis and assessment of environmental sanitation, particularly in the region of Porto Murtinho/MS. The existing gap, evidenced by the lack of investigations in this specific domain, highlights the pressing need for advances in research to address this area lacking in-depth studies.
In this way, it becomes clear that there is a significant lack of investigations that direct their focus to the intersection between geotechnologies and the understanding of environmental sanitation, especially considering the specific scenario of Porto Murtinho/MS. The lack of research that explores this specific topic highlights the urgency in filling this knowledge gap. The establishment of a substantial body of studies in this field will not only contribute to scientific and technological development, but will also provide valuable insights for improving environmental sanitation practices in the region in question.
The careful analysis of works that deviate from the central theme of the research, focused on the geoprocessing of the Chaco in the Porto Murtinho Region, proves to be an essential practice to establish the coherence and relevance of the study in question. Thematic delimitation plays a crucial role, ensuring that analyzes and conclusions are conducted in a precise and specific manner. This approach provides a more in-depth and meaningful focus on the results obtained, contributing to the solidity and applicability of the findings.
By critically examining works that touch on, but do not directly align with, the defined scope, it is possible to highlight the frontiers of knowledge and identify the uniqueness of Chaco geoprocessing research in Porto Murtinho. This practice allows for a clearer understanding of the gaps that exist in the scientific context, highlighting the need for specialized and targeted investigation. By recognizing areas of convergence and divergence with previous studies, the researcher is able to more solidly substantiate the relevance and purpose of the research, thus consolidating the theoretical and methodological basis to address the specific challenges of the region under analysis.
Deepening the analysis in a more specific way emerges as a vital strategy to achieve a more precise understanding of geographic phenomena and the impact of geoprocessing in the region in question. This more detailed approach aims to not only identify intricate patterns and relationships, but also provide more refined insights into local dynamics. By adopting a more focused perspective, the study seeks not only quantity, but quality in the interpretation of data, thus enriching the understanding of specific geographic processes in Porto Murtinho.
In this sense, strengthening discussions on the topic becomes imperative to consolidate the internal validity of the study. This measure ensures that all information analyzed is directly relevant to the field of study, contributing to the cohesion and consistency of the work. Enhancing internal validity not only strengthens the credibility of the conclusions, but also lays a robust foundation for possible practical applications of the findings, ensuring that the implications of the study are sound and pertinent for understanding and effective intervention in the region studied.
5 CONCLUSION
The scarcity of specific academic research on the intersection between geoprocessing and the Porto Murtinho region can be attributed to several reasons, expanding our understanding of the complexity of this scenario. Among the factors that contribute to this gap, the lack of extensive exploration in the area, resource and infrastructure limitations, as well as the specialized nature of geoprocessing stand out. The lack of effective dissemination and easy access to information about local research also plays a crucial role in the low visibility and availability of these works.
The specificity of the relationship between geoprocessing and the region in question highlights the pressing need for future investigations and academic contributions to fill this knowledge gap. The concentration of efforts and resources on the development of work directly aligned with the research objectives is imperative, thus ensuring a more focused discussion on the challenges, opportunities and peculiarities of Chaco geoprocessing in the Porto Murtinho Region.
Therefore, recognizing the limitations and challenges faced in research on this specific topic opens up space for a more targeted and effective approach to advancing knowledge in this field. Awareness of the need to explore the intersection between geoprocessing and the region in question not only highlights the existing gap, but also motivates the academic community to actively seek new perspectives and solutions. This continued momentum can significantly contribute to the understanding and development of this specific area of study, promoting innovation and the enrichment of scientific knowledge.

Abstract
Objetivo: Mapear a produção científica e, simultaneamente, destacar lacunas de pesquisa específicas, oferecendo uma visão abrangente do estado atual do conhecimento na interseção entre geotecnologias e saneamento na região de Porto Murtinho/MS. Referencial teórico: A sistemática análise de estudos científicos proporciona a identificação de tendências e características específicas em diversas áreas do saber. A Bibliometria se associa à Cienciometria, concentrando-se na medição quantitativa da comunicação científica e no avanço do conhecimento científico. Método: Este enfoque de pesquisa utiliza métodos quantitativos para examinar a produção científica e a distribuição de trabalhos acadêmicos nesse campo específico. Desse modo, mapeamos as teses e dissertações existentes na Biblioteca de Teses e Dissertações (BDTD), identificamos as fontes de publicação predominantes e demonstramos lacunas no conhecimento existente. Resultados e conclusão: A escassez de estudos sobre geoprocessamento em Porto Murtinho decorre de limitações de exploração na área, recursos escassos e especialização requerida. A falta de divulgação local também afeta a visibilidade. Essa carência destaca a urgência de mais pesquisas e contribuições acadêmicas, focando em desafios específicos. Conscientizar sobre a importância de explorar essa área deve motivar a busca por novas perspectivas e soluções. Implicações da pesquisa: Orientar futuras pesquisas e estratégias de desenvolvimento na área, contribuindo assim para o progresso e aprimoramento das práticas relacionadas ao saneamento em Porto Murtinho. Originalidade/valor: Essa revisão da literatura evita redundâncias, garante a eficiência dos recursos empregados em novas pesquisas, valida e contextualiza os resultados obtidos, fortalecendo a credibilidade das descobertas.
