Download spatial data of Brazil's Intermediate Geographic Areas

Description

The intermediate Geographic Areas are part of the geographic division of Brazil created in 2017 by IBGE. These regions were created to replace the "Meso Regions" division. Data at scale 1:250,000, using Geodetic reference system "SIRGAS2000" and CRS(4674)

Usage

read_intermediate_region(
  code_intermediate = "all",
  year = 2019,
  simplified = TRUE,
  showProgress = TRUE,
  cache = TRUE
)

Arguments

code_intermediate	4-digit code of an intermediate region. If the two-digit code or a two-letter uppercase abbreviation of a state is passed, (e.g. 33 or "RJ") the function will load all intermediate regions of that state. If code_intermediate="all" (Default), the function downloads all intermediate regions of the country.
year	Numeric. Year of the data in YYYY format. Defaults to 2019.
simplified	Logic FALSE or TRUE, indicating whether the function should return the data set with 'original' spatial resolution or a data set with 'simplified' geometry. Defaults to TRUE. For spatial analysis and statistics users should set simplified = FALSE. Borders have been simplified by removing vertices of borders using ⁠st_simplify{sf}⁠ preserving topology with a dTolerance of 100.
showProgress	Logical. Defaults to TRUE display progress bar.
cache	Logical. Whether the function should read the data cached locally, which is faster. Defaults to cache = TRUE. By default, geobr stores data files in a temporary directory that exists only within each R session. If cache = FALSE, the function will download the data again and overwrite the local file.

Value

An ⁠"sf" "data.frame"⁠ object
