@article{Poleto2023, abstract = {The interface between Decision Support Systems (DSS) and Geographical Information Sys-tems (GIS) generates Spatial Decision Support Systems (SDSS) which aid in the deci-sion-making process, particularly in situations where spatial attributes play a pivotal role in achieving accurate conclusions. By integrating conventional decision criteria with spatial crite-ria and visualization through the adoption of SDSS and geographic information systems tech-nologies, a comprehensive analysis is ensured. The primary aim of this research is to exemplify an application of SDSS to support analyses and decisions on a specific issue in Public Health. The focus lies on assessing cities within the state of Pernambuco (Brazil) that exhibit the high-est rates of maternal mortality. This approach promises to offer valuable insights and aid in making informed decisions to address critical maternal health issues in the region.}, author = {Poleto, Thiago and {De Carvalho}, Victor Diogho Heuer and {De Oliveira}, Rodrigo Cleiton Paiva}, doi = {10.51359/2965-4661.2023.259360}, file = {:G\:/Meu Drive/Drive (UFPE)/Administrativo/Editorial/Socioeconomic Analytics/Issue 1 (2023)/5.
