There are three objectives of this research. First, to map springs location, second to know spring characteristic and third to calculat springs potency for domestic use. To reach these aims, springs location were plotted on map base on its coordinate. Springs characteristic were analysed descriptively by spatial analysis base on geologic, geomorphologic and hydrogeologic conditions. Springs potency were calculated base on its discharge, whereas domestic use was determined 60 l/person/day for rural and 120 l/person/day for urban area. The study shows, that springs distribution in Bali Island are not homogeny Springs appearance were controlled by geologic structure as fault and rock contact. The differences of discharge also depend on the structure. Contact between volcanic rock (tuff and lahar) from Buyan-Bratan-Batur Formations with another rock formation in its surrounding result many springs appereance with high discharge. Beside that, orohydrology properties of Agung Mount as strato volcanic result springs belt in a certain elevation and each slope changing. Base on calculation, springs potency in Bali Island are 628.800 m3/month,whereas the domestic use is 9.079.990 m3/month. So, the springs potency is just 6,9% from domestic use in Bali Island.Key words : springs potency, springs distribution, springs characteristic

Brazil is in fifth place among countries with the highest number of land transport accidents. The state of Paraná, Brazil, was the object of this study which conducted spatial analysis with the aim of identifying areas where this phenomenon occurs more and their time series over a 10-year period. This was an ecological and exploratory observational study covering the period 2007 to 2016 in 39 micro-regions of the state of Paraná. Data of road traffic accident deaths as per the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10, codes V01 to V89) held on the Mortality Information System, were analyzed. Relative risk rates were calculated and choropleth maps were built. A total of 31,651 deaths from the causes examined were recorded according to municipality of occurrence. The most frequent ICD-10 items found were those involving automobile occupants, motorcyclists, pedestrians and cyclists in road traffic accidents. An overall falling trend was found with effect from 2012. The rate by area did not show pronounced spatial dependence and there was considerable variation, whereby the Cerro Azul micro-region had the lowest relative risk in the period, while in Campo Mourão deaths were around 53.3% above the expected level. The estimated average annual trend for the Curitiba micro-region had the steepest fall in the period, while Campo Mourão had the highest rising trend. The trend analysis indicated places where more robust public policy interventions and enforcement actions need to be reviewed.
