The growth of information technology has led to a significant expansion of the possibilities for storing, processing and presenting spatial data. This gave a new round of development to such a direction of cartography and geoinformatics as geovisualization. Interactivity and dynamics have become the main distinguishing features of modern maps, especially in the field of cartographic design, which now extend to the problems of human-computer interaction to ensure more successful analysis of geodata and the development of spatial solutions. The article examines the existing definitions of geovisualization and proposes its own version. The scheme and features of individual stages of geovisualization creation are considered. Typical tasks that need to be solved to create high-quality visualization of spatial data are formulated and their systematization is performed. On the basis of the mentioned above tasks and their specificity, the most promising areas of research in the field of geovisualization were identified.

The purpose of this study is to analyze and visualize internet usage data in the Jabodetabek area for the last 3 years, namely 2017, 2018, 2019 using quantitative methods which will display data per city and per year which is processed into the percentage of internet usage in the area. In addition, we also used the K-means clustering method as a method of grouping data and we chose to use the age variable for analysis. Along with the development of information technology, governments in various regions have also begun to expand the circulation of the internet to broaden people's insights and disseminate information more easily. However, in the current situation and conditions, it is felt that the distribution of internet use, especially in the Jabodetabek area, is still not optimal. Even though the area is a metropolitan city as the center of urban community activity. Therefore, through data on the percentage of Jabodetabek areas that access the internet, it can be seen as one of the factors for the government to be able to increase the performance of the internet evenly. The data will be visualized using the Tableau application in graphical form to facilitate information delivery to users in reading the results of data analysis.

National legislation is in place to facilitate reform of the United States health care industry. The Health Care Information Technology and Clinical Health Act (HITECH) offers financial incentives to hospitals, physicians, and individual providers to establish an electronic health record that ultimately will link with the health information technology of other health care systems and providers. The information collected will facilitate patient safety, promote best practice, and track health trends such as smoking and childhood obesity.
