Subject: Visualisation and Health:An evaluation
 
Apologies to all members that receive multiple copies of this message.
 
Hello fellow list members,
 
I am a Master of Arts Student studying Geography at the University of
Auckland, New Zealand. I am nearing the completion of my thesis,
tentatively called "Cartographic Visualisation for Epidemiology"
 
My thesis assesses different visualisation methods that have potential
to communicate spatial processes underlying the spread of disease.
 
The final objective of my thesis is to develop a framework that assists
the medical community in the selection of effective visualisation tools
to communicate particular spatial patterns underlying disease.
 
This is a general message requesting that you spend 20 to 30 minutes,
depending on your GIS/health/cartography experience to go through the
survey for me. The data that is supplied by you will be analysed as part
of my thesis.
 
The survey consists of six pages: 5 visualisation methods, an
introduction and a conclusion. There are between 3 and 5 questions per
page, and space to add comments, suggestions, etc at the bottom of the
pages. Spatial processes are linked to a table of definitions.
 
If you are interested,  please visit my web page at
http://www.geog.auckland.ac.nz/cgi-bin/dan
 
Please feel free to tell your colleagues about the page, your response
does count.
 
For those of you that are interested in the results of this survey,
space is provided in the survey to enter your email, I will send you the
results upon completion of my thesis.
 
Many thanks for your time and efforts.
 
Dan
