Maps have been used for thousands of years to present and analyze geographic information. One of the most famous and earliest cases of geography and maps being utilized for public health surveillance is the physician John Snow's mapping of cholera in London in the mid-1850s to understand the spread of the disease. By plotting the distribution of cholera deaths in the city on a map, he determined that an unusually high number of deaths were taking place near a specific water pump. Following this finding the pump's handle was removed and the number of cholera deaths dramatically decreased. Since then maps in various forms have helped locate and identify various disease patterns. Recent advances in information technology have resulted in the development of computerized mapping methodologies such as geographic information systems (GIS). A growing number of anthropologists, including researchers at the Hispanic Health Council, have recognized the potential value of GIS for the kinds of work we do and incorporate this methodology.

This article examines the fate of Shanghai industries during the Civil War period in China. It argues that in spite of extreme difficulties in the later part of the war, Shanghai industries bounced back very quickly and reached early wartime levels within a year. Thereafter, a series of economic and political restrictions led to a slowdown, then a paralysis. The article is based on a large and unique survey of Shanghai industries published in October 1947, probably the peak of the economic recovery after the war. The data were processed in geographic information systems that the author implemented to examine what industry represented in the urban space, what its impact was, and how it defined the city of Shanghai. The author contends that issues of security more than economic factors determined the particular industrial geography in the city.

This study is one of the design of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for modeling simulations to predictive of the physical development in Singaraja City, so as to provide fast data regarding the  estimation of the physical development of cities among rapid land conversion activities. The method used in this study was done on a number of spatial data overlay thought to affect the physical development of the city. Each of the spatial data is weighted according to the likelihood that the effect will be given. Results from this study defines that land has been earmarked for housing and public facilities and infrastructure in Singaraja around about 39%. While the predictions of the results found that the location of the most potential physical development of the city will occur at the core of the city and partly penetrated the membrane core of the city as well as suburban.
