International Training Course on
“Exploring the Role of Geospatial Technology with Environmental Health and Human Health: Impacts, Vulnerability and Adaptations of Climate Change”
Faculty of Environment and Resource Studies
Mahidol University, Thailand
4 – 20 November, 2025 (17 Days)
This training examined the extent to which health studies, mostly in public health and epidemiology, used geospatial technology. We will identify GIS as a tool for they used from geocoding through simple buffer/overlay functions to spatial query functions. Implementation within GIS of spatial analytical tools suitable for aggregated data over a region will increase the use of Geospatial technology beyond simple GIS operations and visualization in health studies. In addition, this course will also provide relevant information and experiences of the development and movement of health and geospatial technology in Thailand. The Royal Thai Government in collaboration with the Government of Singapore responded to the emerging health crisis by undertaking radical health system reform that reflects responses to past crisis in health and geospatial visualization and analysis from last few years. Hopefully, the topic of this current issue will be useful for countries participants in the future.
