Abstract
El presente artículo es un estudio empírico comparativo de los diferentes procesos de geocodificación que se realiza en la Alcaldía de Medellín para la georreferenciación de información primaria en todos sus procesos de gobernabilidad y desarrollo territorial, los cual son el soporte para la toma de decisiones y la planeación de los recursos públicos. Dentro de los procesos a analizar se encuentra los métodos determinísticos y probabilísticos que permiten por medio de la estandarización y normalización de las direcciones un resultado enmarcado en un entorno espacial que cumpla con criterios de calidad tanto en el porcentaje de acierto de las direcciones encontradas como en la exactitud posicional del resultado, el cual es utilizado para los diferentes tipos de análisis espaciales en temas de seguridad, planeación territorial, asistencia social, infraestructura de vías, salud, catastro, medio ambiente, educación, atención a víctimas del conflicto y pqrs (peticiones, quejas, reclamos y solicitudes).
