This work aims to identify the urban facilities located on Rua do Acampamento, in Santa Maria, RS, using the QField tool, in order to spatialize and briefly reflect on the centrality role of such street in the current urban context of the municipality. For this, fieldwork was carried out to collect data in loco, in which batch data were collected using the QField tool, later spatialized in the QGis software. Rua do Acampamento has fundamental relevance in the historical formation process of the municipality of Santa Maria, changing its sociais meanings, in addition to its forms and functions. The data demonstrate the current commercial vocation of Rua do Acampamento, with 62 occurrences (75.61%) of such activities, followed by health equipment with 9 (10.97%) and residential with 5 (6.1%). It is reflected that Rua do Acampamento, as it has been since the formation of the municipality, plays a central role in Santa Maria, concentrating a large part of the city’s urban shops and services.
