Tratamiento de topónimos con la aplicación de geotecnologías. Caso de estudio: Ingeniero White, Argentina.

Toponymy is a discipline that studies the proper names of places. In Geography, toponyms are important because they provide information about a specific space. At present, georeferenced territorial information in digital format is of growing relevance. Therefore, the present work aims to apply geotechnologies to the treatment of toponyms at scale 1:25.000 for the sector of Ingeniero White, covered by the 3963-17-1 Bahía Blanca chart, prepared by the Instituto Geográfico Nacional (I.G.N.) (National Geographic Institute). For this purpose, a quali-quantitative methodological approach was applied, which included the gathering, selection and analysis of information, the creation of an alphanumeric database and the use of geotechnologies for the spatial treatment of toponyms and their information by means of a Geographic Information System (G.I.S.). The result was the creation of a dynamic consultation system through the use of pop-up windows that allow interaction with the geolocalized toponyms. It can be concluded that the creation of a database of toponyms and its visualization through a G.I.S. allows for the presentation of information and its consultation in a dynamic way to analyze information about changes in the names of places, in this case of Ingeniero White.
