Abstract

The present research analyses the epidemiological bases, the methodology approach and the utility of the Geo-Covid Cartographic Platform to face COVID-19 transmission at an intra-urban scale. Geo-Covid is based on the study of the main drawbacks and limitations of the current risk maps, and the proposed hazard mapping methodology is presented as an alternative approach with a high spatial-temporal accuracy. It is based on 1) the map of neighborhood active focuses of contagion, which are classified according to several hazard indexes, 2) the map of highly-transited areas by potential asymptomatic positives cases and 3) the map of Points of Maximum Risk of contagion. In order to test the effectiveness of the proposed methodology for mapping COVID-19 hazard and risk, it has been applied to Málaga City (Spain) during several stages of the epidemic in the city (2020 and 2021). The neighborhood focus of contagion is proposed as the basic spatial unit for the epidemiological diagnosis and the implementation of mitigation and control measures. After the analysis, it has been concluded that the proposed methodology, and thus, the maps included in the Geo-Covid Cartographic Platform allow a realistic and rigorous analysis of the spatial distribution of the epidemic in real-time.

风险制图作为应对COVID-19传播工具的潜力:地理- covid制图平台

本研究分析了流行病学基础、方法方法和地理- covid制图平台在城市范围内应对COVID-19传播的效用。Geo-Covid基于对当前风险地图的主要缺陷和局限性的研究，提出了一种具有高时空精度的替代方法。该方法的基础是:1)根据多个危害指数对社区传染病活动焦点进行分类的地图;2)潜在无症状阳性病例高度过境区域地图;3)最大传染风险点地图。为了测试所提出的绘制COVID-19危害和风险的方法的有效性，在该流行病的几个阶段(2020年和2021年)将该方法应用于Málaga City(西班牙)。提出了社区传染源作为流行病学诊断和防控措施实施的基本空间单元。经过分析，得出的结论是，拟议的方法以及地理- covid制图平台中包含的地图可以实时对疫情的空间分布进行现实和严格的分析。
