Um Protótipo Shiny para o Monitoramento da Balneabilidade das Praias de Natal

Abstract

In this work, a prototype of a web application was proposed to monitor the bathing conditions of Natal beaches, in order to provide important information to the user. For example, if the beaches are suitable for swimming, according to the current resolution. For the elaboration of the interface, the packages Shiny and Shinydashboard were used within the R programming language, which allow graphical interfaces to be developed in a practical way and with a visually attractive aspect. Important factors of interaction design were also considered, such as essential points of ergonomics and usability, which makes the user can interact with the system in an easy and comfortable way. From these tools and taking into account the elements of the sanitary engineering and interaction design area, a prototype was developed in which historical and current results are presented on the situation of the beaches according to the respective dates of collection of water samples.
