Spatial Decompositions, Modeling and Mapping Service Regions to Predict Access to Social Programs

John Radke, Lan Mu · 1 Dec 2000

Abstract Although social programs intend to provide equal access for all, in the final evaluation, fairness of the distribution of services is usually dictated by location. Measuring and predicting access to social services can help these programs adjust and better accommodate under-served regions. A method is proposed which delineates the service area of providers delivering…

Spatial prediction based on Third Law of Geography

A‐Xing Zhu, Guonian Lü, Jing Liu‐Zeng et al. · 2 Oct 2018

Current methods of spatial prediction are based on either the First Law of Geography or the statistical principle or the combination of these two. The Second Law of Geography contributes to the revision of these methods so they are adaptive to local conditions but at the cost of increasing demand for samples. This paper presents…

A review of urban physical environment sensing using street view imagery in public health studies

Yuhao Kang, Fan Zhang, Song Gao et al. · 2 Jul 2020

Urban physical environments are the physical settings and built environments in neighbourhoods and cities which provide places for human activities. Evidence suggests that there are substantial associations between urban physical environments and various health outcomes, e.g. people’s physical activities might be influenced by surrounding physical environments, thereby affecting their health behaviours; more exposure to urban…

Estimating O–D travel time matrix by Google Maps API: implementation, advantages, and implications

Fahui Wang, Yanqing Xu · 23 Nov 2011

Many spatial analysis tasks call for the use of travel time between multiple origins and destinations, that is, O–D travel time matrix. Commercial geographical information systems (GIS) software requires the input of a well-defined road network dataset and significant efforts in implementing the task. However, road network data are often outdated, miss critical road condition…

Why public health needs GIS: a methodological overview

Fahui Wang · 19 Dec 2019

The short paper provides an overview on how geographic issues have become increasingly relevant to public health research and policy, particularly through the lens of geographic information systems (GIS). It covers six themes with an emphasis on methodological issues. (1) Our health-related behavior varies across geographic settings, so should public health policy. (2) Facilities (supply)…
