Thailand has a higher prevalence of smoking behaviors which puts people at risk of morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to determine the spatial association of smoking behaviors and their associated factors among the population of Thailand. This study was conducted using a data set from the National Statistical Office of Thailand, 2017. A Moran’s I, local indicators of spatial association (LISA), and spatial regression were used to identify the spatial autocorrelation between tobacco outlet density, the prevalence of secondhand smoke, and smoking behaviors among Thai people. According to the results, among 88,689 participants, the prevalence of smoking behaviors was 18.00 per 1,000 population. There was global spatial autocorrelation between tobacco outlet density, the prevalence of secondhand smoke, and smoking behaviors with the Moran’s I values of 0.120 and 0.375, respectively. The LISA analysis identified significant positive spatial local autocorrelation of smoking behaviors in the form of nine high-high clusters of tobacco outlets density and ten high-high prevalence clusters of secondhand smoke. The prevalence of secondhand smoke predicted smoking behaviors by 62.8 percent. There were spatial associations between tobacco outlet density and secondhand smoke problems that led the youngsters to start smoking. It is a general recommendation to strictly enforce policies and laws to control smoking, and cover all regions in Thailand.

Thailand had a higher prevalence of binge drinking (BD) behaviors which put them at risks of morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to determine the spatial association of BD and its associated factors among the population of Thailand. This study was conducted using a data set of the National Statistical Office of Thailand and another data set of the Center for Alcohol Studies, Thailand, in 2017. A Moran's I, Local Indicators of Spatial Association (LISA), and Spatial regression were used to identify the spatial autocorrelation between alcohol outlet density, started drinking before 20 years of age, and BD among Thai people. According to the results, among 61,708 participants, the prevalence of BD was 11.47 per 1,000 population. There was global spatial autocorrelation between alcohol outlet density, start drinking before 20 years, and BD with the Moran's I values of 0.10 and 0.54, respectively. The LISA analysis identified significant positive spatial local autocorrelation of BD in the form of two high-high clusters for density of alcohol outlets and seven high-high clusters of started drinking before the age of 20. Started drinking before 20 years of age could predict binge drinking behaviors by 62.8 percent. There were spatial associations between alcohol outlet density and problems with alcoholic beverage control law enforcement that let the youngsters start drinking before 20. It is a general recommendation to strictly enforce the law in prohibited the underage from consuming alcohol, especially in the high density of alcohol outlets.

Epidemiological Characterization

ObjectiveThis study aims to analyze the evolution of the epidemiologicalbehavior of rabies in Chile during the period 2003 to 2013, throughthe epidemiological characterization of a number of variables anddescription of spatial and temporal patterns of animal cases.IntroductionRabies is a zoonotic disease caused by an RNA virus from thefamily Rhabdoviridae, genus Lyssavirus. Worldwide distributed,control of rabies has been considered to be particularly amenable toa “One Health” strategy (1). In Chile, rabies was considered endemicin domestic dog population until the late 1960s, when a surveillanceprogram was established, decreasing the number of human casesrelated to canine variants until the year 1972 (2). Rabies is recognizedas a endemic infection in chiropterans of Chile and prompted thesurveillance of the agent in this and other species (3).MethodsAn epidemiological characterization of the registered cases fromthe National Program for Prevention and Control of Rabies wascarried. During the period 2003-2013, 927 cases were reported.Descriptive statistics and descriptive mapping, recording origin of thesample, number of cases per region, animal reservoir implicated andviral variant were performed. A spatial autocorrelation analysis wascarried using Moran’s I indicator for the detection of spatial clusters(4), using the Local Indicators of Spatial Association (LISA) statistics(5), at national and regional level of aggrupation (north, central andsouth zone). Temporal descriptive analysis was carried.Results927 positive cases were recorded. 920 (99.2%) cases came frompassive surveillance, while 7 (0.8%) cases by active surveillance, totalpositivity was 77.02% and 1.37% respectively. Positivity was reportedmainly in the central zone (88.1%), mainly in Valparaiso (19.1%),Metropolitana (40.6%) (Figure 1), Maule (11.8%) regions concentratedin urban centers. Main positive reservoirs were bats (99.8%),specificallyTadarida brasiliensisand viral variant 4 was the mostcommonly diagnosed. LISA test gives a Moran’s I indicator of 0.1537(p-value = 0.02) for the central zone (Table 1). Rabies tend to decreasein fall and winter season (2.9 cases vs 13 cases during summer).ConclusionsWildlife rabies in bats remains endemic in Chile, concentrated inurban areas. The main reservoirs are insectivorous bats. There is asignificant spatial autocorrelation of animal rabies cases in the centralzone of Chile. Results are relevant to the design of preventive andcontrol measures.

Analysis of spatial distribution in ecology is often influenced by spatial autocorrelation. In present paper various techniques related with quantification of spatial autocorrelation were categorized. Three broad categories namely global, local and variogram were identified and mathematically explained. Local measurers captures the many local spatial variation and spatial dependency while global measurements provide only one set of values that represent the extent of spatial autocorrelation across the entire study area. Global spatial autocorrelation measures the overall clustering of data and it included six well defines methods, namely, Global index of spatial autocorrelation, Joint count statistics, Moran’s I, Geary’s C ration, General G-statistics and Getis and Ord’s G. The study revealed that out of the six methods Moran’s I index was most frequently utilized in plant population study. Based on their similarity degree, local indicator of spatial association (LISA) can differentiate the neighbors in to hot and cold spots. Correlogram and variogram approaches are also given.

In this article, we investigated the spatial dependence of the incidence rate by Covid-19 in the São Paulo municipality, Brazil, including the association between the spatially smoothed incidence rate (INC_EBS) and the social determinants of poverty, the average Salary (SAL), the percentage of households located in slums (SLUMS) and the percentage of the population above 60 years of age (POP>60Y). We used data on the number notified cases accumulated per district by May 18, 2020. The spatial dependence of the spatially smoothed incidence rate was investigated through the analysis of univariate local spatial autocorrelation using Moran’s I. To evaluate the spatial association between the INC_EBS and the determinants SAL, POP>60Y and SLUMS, we used the local bivariate Moran’s I. The results showed that the spatially smoothed incidence rate for Covid-19 presented significant spatial autocorrelation (I = 0.333; p<0.05), indicating that the cases were concentrated in clusters of neighbouring districts. The INC_EBS showed a negative spatial association with SAL (I = - 0.253, p<0.05) and POP>60Y (I = -0.398, p<0.05). We also found that the INC_EBS showed a positive spatial association with households located in the slums (I = 0.237, p<0.05). Our study concluded that the households where the population most vulnerable to Covid-19 resides were spatially distributed in the districts with lower salaries, higher percentages of slums and lower percentages of the population above 60 years of age.

From earliest cities to the present, spatial division into residential zones and neighbourhoods is the universal feature of urban areas. This study explored issue of measuring neighbourhoods through spatial autocorrelation method based on Moran's I index in respect of achieving to best neighbourhoods' model for forming cities smarter. The research carried out by selection of 35 neighbourhoods only within central part of traditional city of Kerman in Iran. The results illustrate, 75% of neighbourhoods' area in the inner city of Kerman had clustered pattern, and it shows reduction in Moran's index is associated with disproportional distribution of density and increasing in Moran's I and Z-score have monotonic relation with more dense areas and clustered pattern. It may be more efficient for urban planner to focus on spatial autocorrelation to foster neighbourhood cohesion rather than emphasis on suburban area. It is recommended characteristics of historic neighbourhoods can be successfully linked to redevelopment plans toward making city smarter, and also people's quality of life can be related to the way that neighbourhoods' patterns are defined.

The article focuses on geographical dimension of societal inequalities, especially on approaches to its analysing. Two distinct methods of analysing the relative geographical inequality are utilized: Theil index decomposition and spatial autocorrelation measured by Moran’s I coefficient. Both employed methods should bring, in theory, very similar information. This fact is explored empirically by comparing both methods and by their application on detailed economic, social and demographic data on municipalities in Czechia. Conclusions, predominantly of epistemological nature, are intended to assess advantages and limitations of individual methods and their possible application in practice.

Based on the exploratory spatial data analysis (ESDA) and GIS technology, the spatial differences of the rural economic development level of Qinhuangdao city was investigated by adopting the rural resident’s per capita net income data at town level in Qinhuangdao city from 2007 to 2011. The results of global Moran’s I value for rural resident’s per capita net income at town level showed that there existed significant positive spatial autocorrelation and significant spatial aggregation in the spatial distribution of rural resident’s per capita net income. However, the global Moran’s I value showed a decreasing trend during 2007 to 2011, indicating an enlarged spatial disparity of rural economy at the town level. The results of the Moran scatter plots and LISA cluster maps of 2007 and 2011 showed that most of towns were characterized by positive local spatial association , ie. They were located in the HH or the LL quadrant. The significant HH towns were mostly to be found in the south of Qinhuangdao city, Haigang district, Changli county, Lulong county. The significant LL towns were mostly to be found in the Qinglong county, north of Qinhuangdao city.
