Given the effect of locational decisions on access and utilization of healthcare facilities in any society, the current study attempted an evaluation of the locational efficiency of available health facilities in Ikot Ekpene LGA with a view to ascertain the distributional pattern of the health care centers in the study area. It was discovered that health care centers in the area are randomly distributed but moderately concentrated in a few wards leaving more than half the area under-served. Using a WHO population/distance criterion of 1/4km, it is shown that only a small portion of the study area has effective access to healthcare facilities. Potential sites for location of additional health centers were suggested and the capability of Geographical Information System (GIS) in spatial planning and healthcare facility management is demonstrated.

The World

Panglima Awang or Henry The Black or Enrique of Melaka , a man of Malay descent, was on board Ferdinand Magellan’s ship when he made his voyage around the world. Panglima Awang was a captive and a slave on board. He was taken to Goa, India and then onward to Portugal. In Portugal, a conflict broke out between the Portugese and Captain Fernado (or Ferdinand Magellan) who, at the instigation of Da Gama, was maliciously accused of siding with some foreigners. Tired of the unwelcome pressure, Captain Fernado made the decision to change his mission and instead sail around the world with Panglima Awang. From Portugal they set sail for Spain. Also on board was Pigafetta who recorded every little detail of the voyage. Besides depicting the events that took place during the voyage of Panglima Awang, this article attempts to integrate geographical information technology into research in the fields of literature and history. This is achieved by identifying the route taken by Panglima Awang as well as his stopover locations, and analysing the spatial pattern and distribution of the voyage.

The Common

Aimed to assess spatial pattern of coastline in Liaoning province. Series satellite remote sensing images obtained in 1990 and 2010 were employed to survey coastline integrated field surveying in Liaoning province. Some spatial index were established to describe coastline spatial characteristics by geographical information system, individually. The result as follow: remote sensing images integrated geographical information system are useful tools for coastline surveying. Spatial index based on geographical information system suitable to assess coastline spatial pattern. In last 20 years, length of coastline in Liaoning province increased and its tortuosity ascend. The increment is 30% in some regions, such as Jinzhou and Panjin. The common use type of coastline is fishing and port. Exploitation of coastline cause length of artificial coastline (dams, bulwark, eg) grow up, while natural coastline, such as rock coastline, sandy coastline and muddy coastline compressed. The total exploitation extensity boast in last20 years in Liaoning province.
