A tsunami risk mapping study for the east coast of the state of Sabah, Malaysia, has been initiated by the Government of Malaysia. The main objective is to produce tsunami risk maps that can be taken into account in local planning for the coastal zone. The study covers a coastline of more than a thousand kilometers which generally is sparsely populated outside the main population centers. The study is regional in character, but with additional focus on the main population centers. The paper outlines the overall steps of hazard mapping through source identification and modelling followed by tsunami wave propagation and potential modelling of overland flow. Modelling challenges related to sparse bathymetry data, limitations to resolution due to the large coverage required combined with a complex bathymetry with coral reefs, islands and outcrops is discussed. Data and model resolution for overland flow modelling is discussed. For the present study, it was found that the inaccuracies in the topographic data is of similar magnitude to the expected inundation levels, and caution has to be exercised in deriving hazard levels from the overland flow modelling. For a regional scale risk mapping exercise, and in the absence of very detailed topographic data, it may be preferable to use the wave height along the coastline as a hazard indicator rather than potentially inaccurate inundation levels and overland flow velocities.

SUMMARYBeginning in 1970, the potential of remote sensing (RS) techniques, coupled with geographical information systems (GIS), to improve our understanding of the epidemiology and control of schistosomiasis in Africa, has steadily grown. In our current review, working definitions of RS, GIS and spatial analysis are given, and applications made to date with RS and GIS for the epidemiology and ecology of schistosomiasis in Africa are summarised. Progress has been made in mapping the prevalence of infection in humans and the distribution of intermediate host snails. More recently, Bayesian geostatistical modelling approaches have been utilized for predicting the prevalence and intensity of infection at different scales. However, a number of challenges remain; hence new research is needed to overcome these limitations. First, greater spatial and temporal resolution seems important to improve risk mapping and understanding of transmission dynamics at the local scale. Second, more realistic risk profiling can be achieved by taking into account information on people's socio-economic status; furthermore, future efforts should incorporate data on domestic access to clean water and adequate sanitation, as well as behavioural and educational issues. Third, high-quality data on intermediate host snail distribution should facilitate validation of infection risk maps and modelling transmission dynamics. Finally, more emphasis should be placed on risk mapping and prediction of multiple species parasitic infections in an effort to integrate disease risk mapping and to enhance the cost-effectiveness of their control.
