Abstract
The Curitiba City Hall has a municipal open data policy since 2014. In the web portal where the databases are available, there are data related to issues of public interest, such as public transportation, health, security and education. However, there are no initiatives to structure and make this data easily and intuitively understood by the population. Given this scenario, the objective of this work was to develop an application that could be used on both, mobile phones and computers, to facilitate access and the analysis of information related to occurrences reported by the Municipal Guard, using the Functionality-guided Development methodology. As a result, a website was developed that presents the occurrences recorded in geographical, temporal and categorical visions, providing citizens with an additional tool for social control over the City Hall's actions and the enrichment of the debate regarding the city's public policies.
