Cases of canine attacks on people are reported because of the proximity of the dog to the households in several Brazilian cities. In the present study, we aim to evaluate post-exposure anti-rabies treatments with canine accidents between the years 2007 to 2011 in Belo Horizonte - MG. Duly notified data were obtained from the National System of Notifiable Diseases (SINAN). The spatial characteristics of the cases during the period of the study referred to the neighborhoods and the nine sanitary districts of the municipality of Belo Horizonte - MG. For georeferencing and spatial analysis, we used the software Maporama to identify the coordinates and the Geographic Information System ArcGIS for mapping. Considering the 6.153 prophylactic services that were georeferenced, the Norte, Venda Nova, Leste, and Centro Sul regions were highlighted due to the higher frequency of registered cases. It is suggested that an integrative action focused on canine population control, health education and epidemiological surveillance studies could contribute to the reduction of canine aggression cases.

AbstractThe proximity of urban area provides fertile ground for the exchange of bacteria, virus and other health problem. One of the diseases which have a close relationship with the environment and people interaction is dengue. At present, it still is one of the major health problems for Indonesia. One method to understand the disease is by using spatial analysis that the prevention program can be focusing on the area most affected. This study aims to analyze the spatial distribution of dengue cases in Bandung city. The method used was the mapping of dengue cases using geographic information system (GIS) with ArcView software. Data were collected from August 2015 to March 2016 in Bandung city. Results showed that dengue cases increased with fluctuated hyperendemic years especially in the year 2009, 2012, and 2013. Spreading pattern of the disease was from north of Bandung to east. The conclusion of this study dengue cases in Bandung city showed an increased trend with fluctuated hyperendemic year especially in the year 2009, 2012, and 2013. Pockets of highest reported cases were found in north to middle and east for the whole year. The spread of this disease, especially in east Bandung, showed wider affected areas in the observed year. Land usage for residential purposes without good development plan might be on factors that increase the disease transmission.AbstrakKedekatan dalam wilayah urban memberikan kemudahan dalam pertukaran bakteri, virus, dan masalah kesehatan lainnya. Salah satu penyakit yang erat hubungannya dengan kedekatan pemukiman, lingkungan, dan interaksi manusia adalah demam berdarah dengue (DBD). Sampai saat ini DBD masih menjadi masalah kesehatan di Indonesia. Pencegahan suatu penyakit akan lebih mudah dilakukan apabila pemahaman mengenai penyakit tersebut sudah dapat dilakukan dengan baik. Dengan pemetaan (distribusi spasial), kasus DBD akan lebih mudah dimonitor sehingga program pencegahan dapat difokuskan pada wilayah dengan angka kejadian yang tinggi. Penelitian ini bertujuan melihat gambaran spasial kasus DBD mempergunakan geografic information system (GIS) di Kota Bandung. Metode penelitian ini adalah pemetaan kasus di wilayah tertentu dengan GIS menggunakan ArcView software menggunakan data kasus DBD dan data spasial dilaksanakan pada tahun 2015 di Kota Bandung. Hasil penelitian kasus DBD di Kota Bandung menunjukkan peningkatan dengan pola tahun hiperendemik berfluktuasi terutama pada tahun  2009, 2012, dan 2013. Pola pergerakan kasus tampak berawal dari arah utara menuju timur. Kantong wilayah dengan kasus DBD yang tinggi terkumpul di daerah utara menuju timur Kota Bandung sepanjang tahun. Simpulan penelitian ini, penyebaran kasus di wilayah Bandung menunjukkan daerah sebaran yang semakin besar dari tahun ke tahun. Pemanfaatan lahan sebagai pemukiman memiliki keterkaitan terhadap kejadian DBD.

This study aims to identify the spatial distribution of robberies in Makassar city by using crime mapping (crime analysis) through Geographic Information System in order to find a novel solution to deal with them. This study employs spatial analysis and snowball sampling to analyze and collect the data. The results show that the spatial pattern of robberies between 2015 and 2016 was cluster consisted of three categories high, medium and low crime density, and it also reveals that there was significant increase the number of robberies from 76 to 140 cases in 2015 and 2016 respectively. In addition, based on the time series analysis, it shows that in 2015 the high crime occurred in August, September, and April meanwhile the low crime was in January, October, November, and December. In 2016, the high crime was in March, September and October while medium crime happened mostly in January, April, Mei, June, July and August, and there was not low crime recorded in 2016.

SUMMARYBurkholderia pseudomallei, the causative agent of melioidosis is associated with soil. This study used a geographic information system (GIS) to determine the spatial distribution of clinical cases of melioidosis in the endemic suburban region of Townsville in Australia. A total of 65 cases over the period 1996–2008 were plotted using residential address. Two distinct groupings were found. One was around the base of a hill in the city centre and the other followed the old course of a major waterway in the region. Both groups (accounting for 43 of the 65 cases examined) are in areas expected to have particularly wet topsoils following intense rainfall, due to soil type or landscape position.

Abstract The use of Geographic Information System (GIS) in managing pipeline database and automating routine engineering processes has become a standard practice in the pipeline industry. While maintaining a central database provides security, integrity, and easy management of data throughout the pipeline’s lifecycle, GIS enables spatial analysis of pipeline data in addition to streamlining access and visualization of results. One of the major benefits of GIS integration lies in the ease of automating the alignment sheet generation for pipelines. This paper introduces a simplified pipeline alignment sheet generation workflow using GIS datasets to produce highly customizable alignment sheets in AutoCAD, a much-preferred format in the pipeline industry. By utilizing existing GIS and AutoCAD features to generate the alignment sheet, writing complicated geo-processing or plotting algorithms is minimized, which in turn reduces the risks of committing any systematic errors. This robust and user-friendly workflow not only ensures safety but also leads to a cost-effective solution.

Objective. Estimate the prevalence and spatial modeling of PPR in the small ruminant population of Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari, Iran, during 2009–2014. Materials and methods. Data were collected from veterinary organization and Offices in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province and data analysis was carried out using and IBM SPSS version 22 and Office 2010. For spatial modeling geographic information system (QGIS and PCI-Geomatic) was used. Results. This study showed that the overall prevalence of PPR during the years 2009 to 2014 was 1.37%. Koohrang, Ardal, Lordegan, Ben, Borougen, Shahrekord, Farsan and Kiar cities had the highest prevalence of PPR, respectively. The highest PPR infection rate was observed in the March and goat more affected rather than other ruminants. Conclusions. Our findings provide evidence of a rather common prevalence of PPR and its spatial distribution in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province. Using statistical tests for data analysis of PPR and its spatial modeling researchers can predict the incidence of disease in the future and could select appropriate measures of disease control.

Geographic information system (GIS) software packages can be prohibitively expensive, causing many to shy away from mapping and spatial analysis. This 7-page fact sheet written by Jeffry M. Flenniken, Steven Stuglik, and Basil V. Iannone III and published by the UF/IFAS School of Forest Resources and Conservation introduces the reader to a free GIS software package called Quantum GIS (QGIS), walking the reader through simple GIS processes that can be used to visualize spatial patterns of importance to a variety of fields, including natural resources, agriculture, and urban planning. Learn how to create a land-cover map for a county of interest and create heatmaps that illustrate the density of a given attribute (Florida Springs for this example). This publication will benefit those interested in incorporating GIS into their work but who are unable to afford expensive proprietary GIS software packages, as well as anyone interested in learning a new GIS software package. https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/fr428
