Abstract


The prevalence of diarrhea is viewed as a serious problem greatly affecting the society. The plan to prevent and control the spread of diarrhea requires large amounts of data for data processing. Disease prevalence situation is still represented in elusive form. Therefore; to create people understands of diarrhea conditions; a Web-based GIS was developed for surveillance and monitoring of diarrhea in Mahasarakham Province. The main gold of this study was to represent statistical data on diarrhea collected during 2008-2011 by applying Free Open Source Software GIS technology for surveillance and monitoring of diarrhea in Mahasarakham Province. Besides; it aimed to represent novel spatial data and attribute data on diarrhea via internet network; facilitating data view in map form as well as planning surveillance and monitoring of diarrhea with GIS technology. Results found that a novel Web-based GIS user-friendly system for surveillance and monitoring of diarrhea is efficient and practical. People can access data at anytime from anywhere with an internet connection.
