Health_facilities Coordinates #291

Closed julionet76 closed 2 years ago

julionet76 commented 2 years ago

hello everyone, regarding the health_facilities data. I plot the coordinates in a open street base map and realized that points are diverging at your real localization.

I would like to know wich SRC code was used in this coordinates.

I guess this can be the cause that distorcion !

Hy everyone,

I guess i found out the reason of this. The coordinates were acquired by geocodificaion, so if there is more than one street with same name, the error happens. I checked one case, the USF INTEGRADA IPIRANGA, in João Pessoa-PB, Brazil, it is located at the São Luiz street, however, there is another São Luiz street, where the facilitie was placed.

Hi Julio. This is very much likely the case. The data was geocoded by the the Ministry of Health, an I'm afraid we are not able to find these error make the necessary corrections for the entire data set

ps. These data comes from the https://dados.gov.br/ website but, unfortunately , they stopped updating the data on this website.
