Abstract

Public health is one of the pillars of society, playing a determining role and being a balancing factor. The Lecture will discuss the evidence supporting the use of geographic information systems in and from public health. For the study, public data from the Transparency COVID‐19 data set at the Romanian level were employed, which they process with the QGIS application, to effectively determine the influence of the location of the vaccination centers, respectively the impact on the incidence of COVID 19. The research carried out, which generated 153 maps, allows the statement, that reports based on the geographical location of data collected from the public health system are easier to analyze and to evaluate the effectiveness of the decisions taken. By analyzing the evolution of some public health indicators, that are difficult to correlate through analytical relationships, the use of geographic information systems in public health management is shown to be of critical importance.
