| Popis: | Geographical information systems techniques and data are transforming the way geographically based information can be collated and analysed to provide evidence to inform regulatory activities. The Health and Safety Laboratory is at the forefront of these developments in the UK. This paper presents an overview of the fundamental geographical information systems concepts and methodologies that underpin the developments, and presents three case studies, drawing on applications for different regulators, to show how geographical information systems’ applications and analyses developed by the Health and Safety Laboratory produce evidence that can be used to inform regulatory activities to meet a range of challenges.Fundamental to the Health and Safety Laboratory’s approach to developing geographical information systems’ applications and solutions is the identification of appropriate information, the linking and joining of disparate datasets, and the analysis and exploitation of the subsequent intelligen... |
