| dc.description.abstract | Geographical Information Systems or GIS are becoming useful tools in
making strategic decisions in a variety of government and business activities
in areas such as housing, healthcare, land use, natural resources,
environmental monitoring, public health, transportation, retail and routing. This
usefulness emanates from the capability of GIS to present a large amount of
data in a short period of time on a map, using a geographical coordinate
system. In most cases, spatial datasets required for GIS mapping are already
available for free from many governmental agencies.
GIS use more of computing technology than geographical concepts, however,
the capabilities of GIS software did not reach the level of simplicity
encountered in most software used on a daily basis. Most organizations
perform GIS analysis on their data without getting involved with the mapping
technology.
This project aims to integrate various components of data and analyse their
trends and inter relationship with regard to HIV,TB and Malaria Infections.
This project aims to create a suitable interface for users in this case, decision
makers to interact with the data and be able to make decisions based on the
generated output.
By creating an interface where all this different datasets can be over-Iayed
any patterns or inter-relationship can easily be identified and the necessary
measures taken. | en_US |
