The aim of this article is to identify patterns in spatial distribution of cases of dengue fever that occurred in the municipality of Cruzeiro, State of São Paulo, in 2006. This is an ecological and exploratory study using the tools of spatial analysis in the preparation of thematic maps with data from Sinan-Net. An analysis was made by area, taking as unit the IBGE census, the analysis include...

Objectives: to identify spatial pattern on hospitalization rates of children with diarrhea in the counties in São Paulo State. Methods: ecological and exploratory study on hospitalized data of children with diarrhea under the age of four in 2008 and 2012, the IDH mothers with low schooling level and children living with a low income less than half minimum wage were obtained from Datasus and ins...

Introduction Maps of science are an effective technique, especially for non-experts, to facilitate intuitive understanding of science activities, even though they could be cut both ways. Among such maps, science overlay maps have received adequate attention from scientometrics researchers (PerianesRodríguez et al., 2011; Grauwin & Jensen, 2011; Klaine et al., 2012; Leydesdorff, Rotlo, & Rafols,...

This paper presents a new concept of UAV mission design in geomatics, applied to the generation of thematic maps for a multitude of civilian and military applications. We discuss the architecture of Mission-Oriented Sensors Arrays (MOSA), proposed in Figueira et Al. (2013), aimed at splitting and decoupling the mission-oriented part of the system (non safety-critical hardware and software) from...

In Southern Spain, olive (Olea europaea L.) growing is an important part of the economy, especially in the provinces of Jaén, Córdoba and Granada. This work proposes the first stages of an Information and Decision-Support System (IDSS) for providing different types of users (farmers, agricultural engineers, public services, etc.) with information on olive growing and the environment, and also a...

In the current century, rapid increase in world population and fact that this is living cities to a large extent increases speed scale of urbanization more rapidly. This situation makes today's struggle with environmental, social, economic, ecological challenges. recent years, order cope these difficulties, ecology-based planning design approaches take nature as an example have become important...

the main aim of the present study was to map of urmia lake water surface diminishing rates over a long-term period, and demonstrating the most recent surface of emerged salty alluvial plains. for this purpose, landsat tm, etm+ and oli imageries, observing from 1984 to 2015, were progressively processed to generate most of the thematic models in tempo-spatial context. all multi-date satellite da...

Sketch maps are an intuitive way of expressing geospatial information. They contain objects which represent real world geographic features, relations between these objects, and oftentimes symbolic and textual annotations (Blaser [2]). These elements enable us to use sketch maps to communicate about our environments and to reason about our actions in those environments. In this way sketch maps p...

Map Generalization is the process by which coarse scale maps are to be derived from fine scale maps, balancing the amount of real-world information with visual confusion. This requires the use of operations such as simplification, selection, displacement and amalgamation of features that are performed subsequent to scale change. Map schematization can be regarded as a specific type of map gener...
