Preface
Medical geography is incredibly a dynamic sub-discipline of geography which is conventionally related to the spatial aspects of disease ecology and healthcare management. With the expansion of geospatial technology, medical geography has been transformed to formulate several measurements from far above the earth surface and create dozen of maps of disease and health events within a short period. In this book, we look forward to achieve geographical aspects in public health research and analyze geographical distribution of population exposed to threats and health outcomes and to tackle public health problems. This book will be supportive in providing a blueprint of the dimensions of spatial distribution of diseases and the associated environmental health control measures. The book has been structured into seven well-organized chapters. The introductory portion of this book will contain data collection, data organizations, data standardizations, and the description of the complications innate in interpreting semantics.
