本文以纽约市布朗克斯哮喘与空气污染之间的空间对应关系为例，探讨了地理信息系统环境公平性评估的方法。在哮喘研究的背景下讨论了空间范围和分辨率、选择分析的环境负担、数据和方法学限制以及描述暴露的不同方法等问题。（在指定的距离缓冲区内）有毒土地使用者因哮喘住院的可能性高达66%，与缓冲区之外的人相比，穷人的可能性高出30%，少数民族的可能性高出13%。(c)2005爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
This paper examines methods of environmental justice assessment with Geographic Information Systems, using research on the spatial correspondence between asthma and air pollution in the Bronx, New York City as a case study. Issues of spatial extent and resolution, the selection of environmental burdens to analyze, data and methodological limitations, and different approaches to delineating exposure are discussed in the context of the asthma study, which, through proximity analysis, found that people living near (within specified distance buffers) noxious land uses were up to 66 percent more likely to be hospitalized for asthma, and were 30 percent more likely to be poor and 13 percent more likely to be a minority than those outside the buffers.
