Provides a unique view on health GIS techniques and health facility analysis Offers three statistical methods (multiple linear regression, heuristic approach, information value), to facilitate vector borne disease mapping Includes an in-depth case study of disease planning in the Varanasi District, India This book demonstrates how GIS techniques and statistical methods can be used to emphasise the characteristics of population and its related variables, vis vis care facilities and the status of vector borne diseases, as well as for malaria modeling. Concentrating on the Varanasi district of India, the main aim of the book is to determine and map the density areas of vector borne diseases using GIS techniques. The book explores how health GIS is an important sub-discipline of health science and medical geography, which is traditionally focused on the spatial aspects of disease ecology and health care facility analysis.
