HEALTH IN ECOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVES IN THE ANTHRO...

This book focuses on the emerging health issues due to climate change  particularly emphasizing
the situation in developing countries. Thanks to recent development in the areas of remote
sensing  GIS technology  and downscale modeling of climate  it has now become possible to
depict and predict the relationship between environmental factors and health-related event data
with a meaningful spatial and temporal scale. The chapters address new aspects of
environment-health relationship relevant to this smaller scale analyses  including how
considering people's mobility changes the exposure profile to certain environmental factors 
how considering behavioral characteristics is important in predicting diarrhea risks after
urban flood  and how small-scale land use patterns will affect the risk of infection by certain
parasites  and subtle topography of the land profile. Through the combination of reviews and
case studies  the reader would be able to learn how the issues of health and climate social
changes can be addressed using available technology and datasets. The post-2015 UN agenda has
just put forward  and tremendous efforts have been started to develop and establish appropriate
indicators to achieve the SDG goals. This book will also serve as a useful guide for creating
such an indicator associated with health and planning  in line with the Ecohealth concept  the
major tone of this book. With the increasing and pressing needs for adaptation to climate
change  as well as societal change  this would be a very timely publication in this
trans-disciplinary field.
