Abstract:
Health is a primary, individual interest of the population. The observation of health standard and health risks requires the consideration of geographical information. The cartographic visualization of health data is used to show spatial relations and correlations. A presupposition is that health data has local references. There are various local references: the local reference by domicile is most important in investigating the spatio-temporal occurrence, the geographically spread, the intensity and temporal periodicity of diseases. Cartographic visualization allows a quick and intuitive recognition of the situation in a geographical region.
