ABSTRACT: The usage of
georeferencing as a search tool has suffered a massification after the diffusion of technologies
developed by Google and Microsoft. In this context, problems related to the
location of properties situated on highways are becoming quite usual in Brazil,
because properties registration in highway is permitted in the country and this
invalidates the dynamics of the georeferencing
process. Therefore, a growing
number of geotechnology users which desire to localize properties on highways,
find inaccurate or amiss geographical information. This research focus is to present an enumeration
method for highway properties and, consequently, the possibility of a precise
georeferencing. The presented method contributes to turning possible the
precision of this georeferencing process and it will also be relevant for
geotechnology diffusion considering its integration to geographic information
systems which include geocoding tools.
