This book demonstrates how GIS techniques and statistical methods can be used to emphasise the
characteristics of population and its related variables vis-à-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.
