“…Z-scores were used to assess the statistical difference of geographic clustering of early sexual initiation. A high (positive) z-score and small p-value of a feature indicate a significant hot spot whereas a low (negative) z-score with a small p-value indicates a significant cold spot; the higher or lower the z-scores, the more stronger the clustering, and a z-score near zero means no spatial clustering [17].…”

Background : The early age of sexual initiation will contribute a lot for various risks such as mistimed pregnancy followed by insecure termination, developing fistula and contracting sexually transmitted infections which are currently the major public health concerns, particularly for low-income countries. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to detect spatial clusters and identify factors associated with an early age sexual initiation of women in the reproductive age group. Methods : We used a population-based nationwide representative Ethiopian demographic and health survey 2016 data for this analysis. A total of 12,033 respondents of reproductive age (15–49 years) who had at least one event of sexual initiation was retrieved and included for the analysis. Spatial cluster detection and autocorrelation analysis were also done to explore the patterns of early age sexual initiation. Results : The median age at first sexual intercourse among respondents was 16 (±3.3) years and more than half (66.2%), had their first intercourse before the age of 18 years. The spatial variations of the age of sexual initiation was nonrandom and clustered with a Moran's I = 0.413 (P-value < 0.001). In addition, five significant spatial clusters were also identified. Moreover, the probability of starting sex at an earlier age was associated with the respondent’s residence, marital status, educational attainment and wealth index. Conclusion : This study found a higher proportion of an early age sexual initiation of women. Socio-demographic variables were also significantly associated with early sexual initiation. The SaTScan analysis identified five statistical significant spatial clusters which indicate that there were geographical variations. Therefore, targeted and integrated interventions focusing on the identified high spot clustered areas are recommended to reduce early age sexual initiation.

“…Our findings also highlight a discrepancy between the northern and southern parts of the city in terms of the urban landscape's capacity to fulfill the recreational demands. The use of GIS databases and visual outputs such as maps helps to transfer knowledge from research into policy and planning by providing a decision support system [40,83].…”

Landscape Preferences and Distance Decay Analysis for Mapping the Recreational Potential of an Urban Area

Green infrastructure plays an important role in recreation and human well-being, especially in urban and peri-urban areas. Our study aimed to evaluate and map the recreational potential of an urban area (Brașov, Romania) using two data sets: (a) people’s preferred landscape features and (b) preferred locations where outdoor activities and recreation take place. The latter was gathered through participatory mapping techniques. For each location, we computed explanatory variables, e.g., the distance to 19 landscape elements known to be important for recreation. Based on (b), we determined the recreational activity profiles for each participant and evaluated how well these profiles matched the participant’s preferences for landscape features (dataset a). Finally, recreational potential was mapped by computing a recreational index using dataset b. Two preference profiles (P1: urban, infrastructure-oriented; P2: nature-oriented) were identified based on people’s preferred landscape features, and three recreational activity profiles were identified based on the preferred locations, i.e., an “urban”, a “nature”, and an “ubiquist” type. The importance of green infrastructures for recreation in both preference profiles was striking. Many persons belonging to the urban and infrastructure-oriented group indicated that they recreate in locations with a high amount of green infrastructure and nature. The map of the recreational potential shows hotspots for recreation but also areas lacking recreational provisions, giving useful insight for future urban planning.

“…Otras aproximaciones de mapeo del valor social identificadas se focalizan en las preferencias como una aproximación para el mapeo del valor social de los servicios ecosistémicos, particularmente de tipo cultural Darvill y Lindo, 2015;De Valck et al, 2016). Este tipo de aproximación, al integrarse con mecanismos ecológicos, permitiría describir las relaciones que se dan en un sistema socioecológico en específico y como estas relaciones determinan la ocurrencia de desbalances en la provisión de servicios ecosistémicos.…”

Los servicios ecosistémicos y su aplicación para la toma de decisiones dependen de un mejor entendimiento del vínculo de las personas con los ecosistemas bajo distintos contextos socioeconómicos y ambientales. Esto ha conducido a un creciente interés por considerar el valor social en el marco de los servicios ecosistémicos. Las metodologías para obtener el valor social son muy variadas, y su mapeo requiere de múltiples enfoques para comprender y explicar de mejor forma el valor social espacialmente. La presente revisión tiene como objetivo proporcionar una descripción del estado del arte sobre el mapeo del valor social en el marco de los servicios ecosistémicos. Se desarrolló una revisión sistemática identificando 27 investigaciones publicadas entre 2011 y 2018 que estudian el mapeo de los valores sociales en el marco de los servicios ecosistémicos. Se encontró que el enfoque participativo es elpredominante en la literatura, variando principalmente en los niveles de participación. Los resultados obtenidos sugieren que el mapeo de los valores sociales representa una herramienta útil para comprender mejor las dinámicas sociales y naturales que tienen lugar en un lugar específico y ofrecer un respaldo para la toma de decisiones, por lo que se necesitan más investigaciones al respecto.
