This network is as equally fragmented as Network 1, consisting of 30 components; the locations of the communes in the two main components are shown in Figure 2. The symmetric binary 1-mode commune network includes 191 nodes, has 1.77% density and 322 links.
The LPT-commune network and the commune-commune networks showed low density of links and a typical core-periphery structure.
The LBM-commune network showed that only a few communes (n = 5) traded poultry in both retail and wholesale markets.
The 2-mode trader-commune network was converted to a 1-mode binary symmetric network of communes linked via a common trader (Network 2).
The 2-mode trader-commune network contains 308 nodes of which 191 are in the commune class and 117 in the LPT class, located in the following LBM's: Bac Thang Long, Cho Ni, Cho Phu Lo, Cho To, Da Ton, Ha Vi, Sui, and Yen Thuong.
In addition, for a case study we separately analyze the mobile phone communication network of the capital city, Abidjan, (G^_{c}), which aggregates the flow of antenna-to-antenna in its communes.
The association between disease status and membership in the giant component and the degree of commune in the Network 4 were tested using the Pearson's Chi-square test and the Fisher exact test (using the latter when the number of observations in any cell was less than 5).
In 2012, the PhuVang district healthcare organization included PhuVang district hospital with more than 80 beds, PhuVang district health center, PhuVang District Health Bureau, two inter-communal polyclinics, 20 commune health centers, and a network of village health workers.
Upon selection of the CMC and collaborator networks, each commune received a three-day training workshop on the project objectives and methods.
In sum, Figure 6 shows that (1) adjacent areas are more likely to be in the same community, which is consistent with earlier findings at the regional level; (2) the most populous communes, Yopougon and Abobo, form a single large community themselves (in red and green respectively); Cocody (the wealthiest commune) dominates the community in both call networks.
Maps of the study area and the location of the communes included in the networks were produced using ArcView 9.2 (©ESRI).
