Sistema de gestão de eventos com transmissão em directo, caso do estudo: Shigom Recanto Familiar

Abstract

The present work, entitled “Event Management System with Live Streaming”, was developed in response to the challenges faced in organising social events in Mozambique, where many guests are unable to participate due to space limitations, geographical distance, and financial constraints. In a cultural context where weddings, baptisms, and other celebrations represent moments of unity and the strengthening of family bonds, such exclusion generates a significant emotional and social impact. The study is relevant as it proposes a technological solution adapted to the Mozambican reality, combining traditional event management with live streaming to promote virtual inclusion and cultural preservation. The main objective was to develop an integrated event management system with live streaming, allowing virtual guests to participate in a controlled and secure manner. The specific objectives include the identification and analysis of essential requirements for social event management, the definition of the system architecture, and the development of the registration and guest management modules. The research was based on a mixed-methods approach, using qualitative and quantitative techniques such as interviews, questionnaires, and data analysis, in order to understand the needs of event organizers and participants. In the system development process, an agile Scrum methodology was adopted, allowing iterative and incremental project management, ensuring flexibility, continuous monitoring, and progressive improvement of functionalities. Modern technologies such as React.js for the frontend, Express.js and Node.js for the backend, MySQL for data storage, and OBS Studio for live streaming were employed. The developed solution enables comprehensive management of all operational aspects of an event, from planning to execution, and allows for selective real-time streaming with controlled access for virtual guests. The application proved effective in promoting digital inclusion, strengthening family connections, and modernising the experience of social events in Mozambique. It is concluded that the proposed system represents a practical and culturally significant innovation, successfully combining tradition and technology to ensure that no participant is excluded due to physical or economic barriers, thus paving the way for a new era of inclusive and interactive events in the country.
