Crowdsourcing has become a popular silver bullet for groups with limited staff and overwhelming problems. But, warn others, there are two sides to that coin. ‘There is this misconception you c...
Surgical, anaesthetic, and obstetric (SAO) health-care system strengthening is needed to address the emergency essential surgical care that approximately 5 billion individuals lack globally. To our knowledge, a complete, non-modelled national situational analysis based on Lancet Commission Global Surgery indicators has not been done. We aimed undertake complete situation of SAO preparedness, service delivery, financial risk protection using core proposed by in Colombia, an...
This paper presents a typology of local‐government data sharing arrangements in the US at time when spatial infrastructures (SDI) are moving into second generation. In first generation, National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) theoretically involved pyramid integration resting on sharing. Availability is foundation for all SDI‐related this model. However, first‐generation SDI data‐sharing activities and principles have gained only tenuous hold local governments. Some formalized occurs,...
Disparities in healthy food access are well documented cross-sectional studies communities across the United States. However, longitudinal examining changes environments within various neighborhood contexts scarce. In a sample of 142 census tracts four low-income, high-minority cities New Jersey, States, we examined availability different types stores by tract characteristics over time (2009–2017). Outlets were classified as supermarkets, small grocery stores, convenience and pharmacies...
The convergence of public participatory mapping and cybertography is having far-reaching impacts through a variety creative applications. This paper presents three different types Internet applications — Google Earth Map API, Common Census, design exercise in Second Life with geographic information system (PPGIS) cybercartography perspective. Each these examples empowers users way. spatial the supporting that being made available map represent unique set democratization possible
Background: Obesity rates among school-age children remain high. Access to energy-dense foods at home, in schools, stores, and restaurants around homes schools is of concern. Research on the relationship between food environment students' weight status inconclusive. This study examines association middle high school students proximity a comprehensive set outlets schools. Methods: Deidentified nurse-measured heights weights data were obtained for 12,954 attending 33 public four low-income...

BackgroundStrategies to improve the community food environment have been recommended for addressing childhood obesity, but evidence substantiating their effectiveness is limited.ObjectiveOur aim was examine impact of changes in availability key features environment, such as supermarkets, small grocery stores, convenience upgraded pharmacies, and limited service restaurants, on children's body mass index z scores (zBMIs).DesignWe conducted a longitudinal cohort study.Participants/settingTwo...
Evidence suggests that healthy behaviors initiated during childhood may continue over time. The objective of this study was to determine whether active commuting to/from school (ACS) at baseline predicted continued ACS follow-up two five years later. Two cohorts households with 3-15 year-olds in four low-income New Jersey cities were randomly sampled and followed for year periods between 2009 2017. Children who walked, bicycled, or skateboarded least one day/week classified as commuters....
The market for local food has grown considerably over the course of thirty years. At same time, even robust systems may reproduce injustices that have long marred corporatized systems. In this paper, we explore relationship environmental justice to by asking two questions. First, are farmers markets (FMs) more likely be found in wealthier, whiter communities? Second, FMs providing people who not members socially privileged groups with an opportunity buy accordance organic principles? Drawing...
Traditional measures of benefits have focused primarily on efficiency, with some attention directed towards effectiveness. This paper describes community systems – ostensibly multipurpose land information (MPLIS) that produce three categories benefits: effectiveness and equity (or empowerment). Building the theoretical model MPLIS development, defines each type benefit when where they can be observed how measured. The understanding system promoted by this is significant in it places a higher...
Abstract As an emerging area of study, geodesign discussions and publications have used practice as a vital source inspiration evidence the early successes field. A closer examination projects reveals some similarities differences within currently discussed geodesign. Using 28 examples projects, this paper identifies classes that are similar. Based on practical represented in examples, 3‐level classification system is proposed for providing basic taxonomy projects. This taxonomic...
The Lancet Commission on Global Surgery (LCoGS) surgical indicators have given the community metrics for objectively characterizing disparity in access to healthcare. However, aggregate national statistics lack sufficient specificity inform strengthening plans at level. We performed a second-stage analysis of Colombian system service delivery development resource- and context-sensitive interventions revision Decennial Public Health Plan inequity resolution.Data from year 2016 total operative...
Globally congenital heart disease mortality is declining, yet the proportion of infant deaths attributable to rises in Colombia and other middle-sociodemographic countries. We aimed assess accessibility paediatric cardiac surgery (PCS) children <18 years age 2016 South American country Colombia.In Bogotá, Colombia, a multi-national team used cross-sectional retrospective cohort study designs adapt evaluate 4 health system indicators at national level: first, population with timely geographic...
Historically, multipurpose land information systems have often been designed for use as community‐wide enterprises. Before becoming useful to the community, however, many of these encounter prohibitive factors delaying or preventing satisfaction ultimate goals which they were designed. A criticism current models is that system developers seeking build publicly accessible do not them. Since most are developed without guidance a formal model, fully anticipate likely issues. Many systems, on an...
Abstract This article describes a series of data-based Green Map learning exercises positioned within problem-based framework and examines the appropriateness projects like these as form geography education. Problem-based (PBL) is an educational technique that engages students in through activities require creative problem solving applied knowledge rather than lecture recitation. The experiences speak to specifics use classroom but also demonstrate other experiences. described this have been...
