Several methods and tools are used to measure spatial coverage, including:
Geographic Information Systems (GIS): GIS is a powerful tool that allows for the mapping and analysis of spatial data. Spatial Statistics: Techniques such as spatial autocorrelation and spatial regression are used to analyze spatial relationships. Remote Sensing: Satellite imagery and aerial photography can provide data on environmental factors that influence disease spread. Surveillance Systems: These systems collect data from various sources to monitor disease occurrence in real-time.
