ANR project: Predictive scenarios of health in Southeast Asia: linking land use and climate changes to infectious diseases
The project located in Southeast Asia aims at developing scenarios of future health embodied in the One Health approach at the human-animal-environment interface. By investigating the impacts of the intensification of the circulation along the economic corridor Thailand-Laos (linking Myanmar to Vietnam) on the evolution of infectious diseases (IDs) of public health interests it intends to: a) integrate ecology and environmental sciences with health sciences and policies: b) foster scientific knowledge integration at various decision levels (regional to local); c) analyze retrospectively and comparatively IDs' dynamics associated to policies, land use and biodiversity changes; d) combine predictive process-based scenarios and policy-driven story-telling scenarios of health incorporating disease ecology, biodiversity erosion, future land use and climate changes.

Here are some R script and resources used in mapping and analyses spatial data gathered in the project:
- producing kml files
- getting coordinates from geotaged pictures
- producing leaflet maps
- maping elevation, land use and extracting buffers around spatial points
