As a key finding, GIS-based wilderness mapping can be meaningfully applied to inventorying relatively wild areas in highly anthropogenic landscapes.
Network analysis (i.e. finding the shortest path between two locations on a road network) was carried out for each outlet using Arc GIS version 9.1.
A team at GIS-IReSP, French Institute for Public Health Research, has created a database on research teams working in the field of public health, finding 313 teams within 238 groups in 2009 [ 60].
We related field-measured water chemistry to vegetation condition and composition using data from 48 freshwater coastal wetlands along this sub-continental gradient, building upon previous findings that GIS-derived landscape descriptors could adequately predict vegetation condition in Great Lakes coastal wetlands.
Considering the already compromised nutritional status of ultramarathon runners during multi-stage events, these findings demonstrate that GIS and DI further compromises intake.
Our findings show that GIS methods can be usefully employed during an acute infectious disease outbreak to reveal new geospatial information in addition to standard field epidemiologic analyses.
In interpreting the findings of the GIS outputs, two spatial patterns emerged across the five provinces: a north south pattern of access and a binary pattern with little gradation.
The findings suggest that although GIS are viewed as useful tools to inform decision-making, they are in no way a panacea for practice.
Active transport is 3.6 times higher in high- versus low-walkability neighborhoods (a finding that partially corroborates our GIS estimates of walkability), whereas nontravel activity is similar (< 10% difference) in low- versus high-walkability neighborhoods.

Geographic information system (GIS) analyses and maps were made with the DIVA-GIS software (www.diva-gis.org).org
