The evaluation of spatial risk factors for leptospirosis outbreak using GIS application
Ahmad Afiq Hassan1, Khairul Nizam Tahar2.
The objective of this research is to determine the factor that increase
incidence of leptospirosis in Petaling district based on leptospirosis risk
map (LRM). Data involves in the research is leptospirosis cases data
from Selangor State Health Department The factors used to determine
leptospirosis risk area namely land use, population and temperature
data. The determination of leptospirosis incidence is made by produce
leptospirosis distribution map (LDM). The LDM is produce using overlay
method which is intersecting method. The identification of factors that
increase the leptospirosis incidence is made by produce a Leptospirosis
risk map (LRM). A LRM is produce using Getis-Ord Gi* technique. The
determination of risk area is based on several factors including land use
and population factors. The used of GIS application to evaluate the health
problem is one of the suitable methods compared with conventional method
that made analysis based on the graphs and tables only. GIS has advantage
such as can facilitate a disease data that can be accessed quickly even
in large numbers, providing a dynamic system analysis and has a good
technique to display, monitors and manage disease outbreak well.
