Development of quantitative analysis method of "knowledge of the area" that focuses on community health activities as an index - Case Study in Northeast Thailand -

这项研究利用泰国东北部健康促进活动的数据，开发了区域信息学方法。在三年的研究期间，我们取得了以下成果：(1)为研究生和护士举办了数据库建设和地理信息系统数据创建的信息素养培训讲习班(2)对数据项、数据属性和数据描述方法进行了审查，并重建了数据库。数据分析团队(1)引入社交网络(SN)来描述区域内个人和组织之间的关系(2)尝试使用主题地图来可视化和分析SN所描述的关系。系统小组(1)继续建立参与性数据库(MyDatabase)，并使用MyDatabase收集数据库的案例(2)还继续建立时空工具(HuTime和HuMap)，并使用这些工具收集案例研究。

This research has developed methodologies of area-informatics using data of health promotion activities in Northeast Thailand. During three years' research period, we have achieved the following results: Health Data Team (1) held training workshops about information literacy of database construction and GIS data creation for graduate students and nurses (2) reviewed data items, data attribute and data description methods and reconstructed databases. Data Analysis Team (1) introduced social networks (SN) to describe the relationship of persons and organizations in an area (2) attempted to use Topic Maps to visualize and analyze relationships described by SN. System Team (1) continued to construct the participatory database (MyDatabase) and collected case examples of databases using MyDatabase (2) also continued to construct spatio-temporal tools (HuTime and HuMap) and collected case studies using the tools.
