O mapeamento e a estimação de riscos e incidências são ferramentas muito úteis para a Epidemiologia pois, auxiliam na prevenção de agravos da saúde e, também auxiliam no planejamento e avaliação dos serviços de saúde. Este trabalho busca utilizar uma ferramenta estatística que incorpora de forma adequada este tipo de análise ao estudo de outras características que estejam relacionadas a estes agravos. No presente trabalho utiliza-se como aplicação dados do estudo caso-controle espacial com base populacional de acidentes de trabalho com a proposta de estimar a distribuição espacial do risco de sofrer acidente de trabalho na área urbana do município de Piracicaba/SP entre trabalhadores que se encontravam na situação de precarização do trabalho em associação com outras variáveis de interesse através de modelos aditivos generalizados (MAG) e, através disso, mostrar que ao incorporar de forma explícita o espaço no processo de modelagem dos dados ocorre um ganho significativo na explicação da variação do risco. O modelo MAG utilizado tem variável resposta binomial (caso e controle) e multinomial (caso e controle separados pela gravidade do acidente sofrido). Com os modelos ajustados, mapas foram desenhados com indicações de diferentes cores para a intensidade do risco de sofrer acidente de trabalho. Outra abordagem utilizada para os dados espaciais de acidentes de trabalho foi a INLA (INTEGRATED NESTED LAPLACE APPROXIMATIONS), a qual é utilizada como processo de modelagem para a família dos modelos Gaussianos latentes através de novos métodos para esta família de modelos. A intenção foi mostrar como essa nova abordagem lida com dados do tipo espacial e, fazer uma comparação com a abordagem feita pela modelagem GAM / Mapping and estimation of risks and impacts are very useful tools for Epidemiology at the assistance in prevention of injuries and health, also assists in planning and evaluation of health services. This paper seeks to use a statistical tool that adequately incorporates this type of analysis to the study of other characteristics that are related these illnesses. In the present work is used as application data from case-control study space-based population accidents with the proposal to estimate the spatial distribution of risk of suffering an accident at work in the urban area of Piracicaba/SP among workers who were in employed as casual labor in combination with other variables of interest using generalized additive models (GAM) and, thereby, show that by incorporating explicitly space in the process of data modeling is a gain significant in explaining the variation in risk. The GAM model have used binomial response variable (case and control) and multinomial (case and control separated by the severity of the accident suffered). With the adjusted models, maps were drawn with indications of different colors to the intensity of the risk of accident. Another approach used for spatial data on accidents at work was the INLA (INTEGRATED NESTED LAPLACE APPROXIMATIONS), which is used as a modeling process for the family of latent Gaussian models through new methods for this family of models. The intention was to show how this new approach deals with spatial data and a comparison with the approach made by GAM modeling.

Le lac Tonle Sap (TSL) est l'un des plus grands lacs du monde et est connu comme un hot-spot de la biodiversité en Asie du Sud-Est. En raison de la grande diversité ainsi que de la productivité élevée de poissons, le lac contribue à un apport important en protéines pour la population cambodgienne. Cette étude vise principalement à étudier (1) la dynamique spatiale et temporelle de la composition des communautés de poissons, (2) les effets des facteurs environnementaux sur la distribution des espèces et (3) l'effet de l'abolition des lots de pêche sur la biomasse, les communautés de poissions et le structure des poissons. En utilisant des méthodes statistiques multivariées sur les données de poissons et de variables environnementales, je suis en mesure de mettre en évidence les principales conclusions suivantes: * Les communautés de poissons du TSL étaient composées de deux assemblages de poissons: l'assemblage du nord, principalement caractérisé par des poissons noirs, et l'assemblage du sud, principalement lié aux poissons blancs, gris et estuariens. Les assemblages de poissons de la période 1994-1995 étaient représentés par l'abondance de tous les groupes fonctionnels, c'est-à-dire les poissons noirs, blancs et gris, et pour la période de 1996 à 1999, les assemblages étaient liés aux poissons blancs et gris. * Les distributions des abondances espèces de poissons n'étaient pas homogènes dans le TSL. De plus, les aires de distributions des espèces étaient différentes et étaient régies par des combinaisons distinctes de caractéristiques de l'habitat et de facteurs climatiques. * H. lobatus et H. siamensis peuvent coexister ensemble, mais la synchronisation et la migration de H. lobatus conduisent toujours à celles de H. siamensis. Ces résultats suggèrent que la population de H. lobatus est plus sensible aux variations d'impulsion de flux que celles de H. siamensis. Ceci indique que les variations des impulsions d'écoulement sont les principaux déterminants responsables de la dynamique temporelle de chaque espèce.[...] / Tonle Sap Lake (TSL) is one of the world's largest lakes and is a biodiversity hotspot in Southeast Asia. It supports high fish productivity which sustains protein supply for millions of people in the region. This study aims to investigate (1) spatial and temporal dynamics of fish community composition, (2) the effects of environmental factors on fish distribution and (3) effects of fishing lot abolishment on fish biomass, community and structure in TSL. By using multivariate statistical methods on fish and environmental data, the thesis highlights that: * There were two fish assemblages in TSL: the northern assemblage, mostly characterised by black fishes, and the southern assemblage, mainly linked to white, grey and estuarine fishes. Fish assemblages from earlier years (1994 and 1995) were represented by the abundances of all functional groups, i.e. black, white and grey fishes, and from 1996 to 1999, the assemblages were linked only to white and grey fishes. * Fish species distributions were not homogeneous within TSL. In addition, species distribution areas were different and were governed by distinct combinations of the local habitat characteristics and regional climatic factors. * H. lobatus and H. siamensis can co-occur together, but synchronisation and migration of H. lobatus always lead those of H. siamensis. These results suggest that the population of H. lobatus is more responsive to flow pulse variations than those of H. siamensis.[...]

國民旅遊卡冀望帶動全民非假日旅遊風潮，提振國內觀光旅遊產業景氣，解決結構性及中高齡失業問題，促進區域平衡，使全民受惠，結合公務人員強制休假補助制度，鼓勵從事觀光休閒旅遊活動，紓解工作壓力，樽節國庫開支，改善政府財政負擔。國民旅遊卡施行迄今已屆滿七年，其間經過不斷地修正，所衍生問題是否獲得解決，消費限制措施之必要性，政策目標是否已達成，值得再進一步的探討，引發本研究的動機。 目前國內國民旅遊卡相關研究，多以單一年度同一縣市內特定公務機關或背景身分者進行研究分析，並以滿意度、持用態度與對旅遊之影響及政策執行與問題等面向探討為主，本研究擬以跨縣市不同公務機關、公營事業、各級學校所屬公務人員為對象，並以97及98年度使用國民旅遊卡的歷史經驗，分析其旅遊行為、空間分佈、滿意與認知程度，提出建議供政府主管機關作為改進強制休假補助措施，同時提供旅遊相關業者作為提升經營效益參考依據。本研究方法為問卷調查法，回收有效問卷計518份。 經本研究實證分析結果發現： 在旅遊行為方面，從事國內旅遊的資訊來源為「網路資訊」，選擇旅遊地點的理由為「喜愛旅遊地點」，旅遊動機為「增進親子或家人關係」，旅遊種類為「自然景觀活動」，旅遊方式為「自行規劃」，使用交通工具為「汽車」之比例最高。休假次數集中在「一次」及「二次」，平均休假日數分別為4.05日及4.17日，「工作忙不易排休」的比例仍高，強制休假制度不易落實，另就消費項目來看，選擇「購物」及「餐飲」的比例高於「旅遊/住宿」，對於結合國民旅遊卡鼓勵公務人員從事休閒旅遊活動的效果有限。 就空間分佈而言，北部地區的「台北市」、「台北縣」、「宜蘭縣」，中部地區的「台中市」、「台中縣」、「南投縣」，南部地區的「屏東縣」、「高雄市」及東部地區的「花蓮縣」、「台東縣」為前十個旅遊縣市，然而看似平均分佈的旅遊地點，仍可發現公務機關數較多的台北縣市、台中縣市等都會地區公務人員，選擇以鄰近縣市旅遊為主，其他縣市為輔，隨著異地隔夜限制規定的放寬與取消，選擇就近旅遊的情形將更加明顯，對於冀望藉由國民旅遊卡帶動地方經濟發展，縮短城鄉差距的政策目標顯有落差。 對於國民旅遊卡的滿意與認知程度問卷結果均呈現中間選項，凸顯公務人員對該政策的冷淡反應及消極面對心態，且多利用短期休假將補助額度用完，對觀光旅遊產業的挹注僅止於休假補助費的移轉，加上政府積極開放陸客觀光旅遊的態度，國民旅遊卡對於刺激經濟發展、提振觀光旅遊產業的政策意義顯已不高。 關鍵字：國民旅遊卡、旅遊行為、空間分佈、滿意度、認知程度 / The purpose of National Travel Card is to promote the trend of weekday travel and to enhance domestic tourism industry, which could solve issues of structural and middle-aged unemployment and benefit citizens by facilitating regional balance. Other purposes include encouraging public servants to travel during their compulsory vacations, reducing national expenses, and alleviating fiscal burden. National Travel Card has been implemented for seven years, during which derivative problems have been continuously amended. However, it is imperative to investigate the necessity of consumption restrictions and whether the goals of policy have been achieved. Current studies on National Travel Card mostly focus on single year, specific public institutions in the same city/county, or personal backgrounds; issues covered in these studies are often concentrated on the influence of user attitudes on their travelling behaviors and issues of policy implementation. By contrast, this study investigates civil servants, public enterprises, and schools as subjects, and refers to the usage history of National Travel Card in 2008 and 2009 to analyze users’ tourism behaviors, spatial distribution, satisfaction and cognition. This study then proposes suggestions for government authorities to improve the compulsory vacation system and simultaneously provides tourism business operators with business efficacy guidelines. Questionnaire survey is conducted, and 518 valid samples are collected. Empirical research findings suggest that: With respect to travelling behaviors, the main source of domestic tourist information is “online information”; the main reason for selecting a particular tour location is “fond of the tour location”; the primary motive for travelling is “to foster parent-child relations and maintain ties with family”; the most common travelling mode is “self-planning”; the most frequently used mode of transportation is “automobiles”. Frequency of vacation is around “once” or “twice.” The average vacation days are respectively 4.05 and 4.17 days. A high percentage of respondents reported that “they are busy working and cannot afford to take time off,” indicating that compulsory vacation leave is not easy to be put into practice. In terms of consumer items, more respondents choose “shopping” and “dining” rather than “travelling/accommodation.” Therefore, National Travel Card has limited effects on encouraging civil servants to participate in travelling activities. With regards to spatial distribution, the top ten popular tourist cities are Taipei City, Taipei County, Yilan County, Taichung City, Taichung County, Nantou City, Pingtung County, Kaohsiung City, Hualien County, and Taitung County. Under this seemingly evenly distributed location, it is found that civil servants of Taipei and Taichung prefer to travel around their neighboring cities over other cities/counties. As restrictions of travelling loosen, the pattern of travelling to neighboring cities will be more obvious. Hence, the policy goal that orients at minimizing the rural-city gap and promoting local economy by implementing National Travel Card is not particularly successful. Respondents reported moderate satisfaction and cognition of National Travel Card, revealing civil servants’ indifferent and passive attitudes toward the policy. In addition, they often use short-term vacation to use up the subsidy quota; as a result, the support for tourism industries is limited to the subsidy quota. Furthermore, since the government is now more open to Chinese tourists, the policy that orients National Travel Card to stimulate economic development and tourism industries is not promising. Keywords: National Travel Card, travelling behaviors, spatial distribution, degree of satisfaction, degree of cognition

En esta tesis se aborda la cuantificación, mediante censos visuales, de las pautas de variación espacial y temporal de los poblamientos de peces que viven en los fondos rocosos infralitorales del Mediterráneo occidental, a varias escalas espaciales, y se estima la importancia relativa de la estructura del hábitat rocoso para explicar dichas variaciones. En sucesivos estudios, utilizándose técnicas de análisis espacial, se muestra que riqueza, abundancia y diversidad de peces responden a las variaciones del hábitat estructural (distinguiéndose entre complejidad y heterogeneidad), tanto a escala local como a múltiples escalas espaciales jerarquizadas. Por otra parte, el poblamiento de peces muestra una notable estabilidad temporal, aunque ésta depende de las escalas taxonómica, espacial o analítica considerada, pudiendo esta estabilidad ser debida al efecto del hábitat sobre las poblaciones. La influencia de la estructura del hábitat rocoso puede enmascarar, e incluso contrarrestar, los beneficios esperados de la protección pesquera.

Le sujet principal de ce texte est une forme très ciblée de ségrégation démographique : la ségrégation selon le type de famille. Cependant, puisque la répartition spatiale des familles mariées, des familles en union libre, des familles monoparentales à chef féminin et de celles à chef masculin ne dépend pas uniquement de leur structure, il faut aussi considérer d'autres facettes de leur identité, notamment leurs caractéristiques socio-économiques et ethnoculturelles. La combinaison de ces facteurs engendre une ségrégation croisée que nous explorons avec les données du recensement de 2006 pour la région métropolitaine de Montréal. Nous utilisons d'abord des indices de ségrégation pour mettre en évidence une ségrégation familiale "brute", puis nous avons recours à des modèles de locational attainment pour déterminer l'effet "net" du type de famille sur le revenu médian du quartier de résidence et sur la distance qui sépare ce quartier du centre-ville. Nous trouvons qu'il existe une interaction importante entre l'appartenance ethnoculturelle, le revenu familial et le type de famille ce qui nous conduit à relativiser les résultats de recherches qui ne prennent pas en compte l'hétérogénéité interne des types de famille. / The main topic of this text is a narrowly defined form of demographic segregation: segregation by family type. However, since the spatial distribution of married, cohabiting, lone-mother, or lone-father families does not depend solely on their structure, we must also consider other aspects of their identity, including their socio-economic and ethno-cultural characteristics. The combination of these factors produces a cross-segregation that we investigate using 2006 census data for the Montreal metropolitan area. We first use segregation indices to highlight a "raw" family type segregation and we then use locational attainment models to determine its "net" effect on the median household income of the neighborhood and on the distance between the neighborhood and the city core. We find a significant interaction between ethnicity, family income and family type which leads us to put in perspective the findings of studies that do not take into account the internal heterogeneity of family types.

Les distributions spatiales des racines fines de Quercus rubra L. (CHR), Populus deltoides x nigra (DN3570) (PEH) et d’une culture fourragère (FOUR) ont été étudiées dans un système agroforestier de culture intercalaire (SCI) du sud du Québec (Canada). L’étude ne révèle pas d’enracinement plus profond des arbres en SCI, mais des profils superficiels à l’instar de nombreuses espèces d’arbres en plantations ou en milieu naturel. Une séparation spatiale existe entre les systèmes racinaires du FOUR et des CHR dont la densité relative selon la profondeur est plus faible que celle de la culture de 0 à 10 cm, mais plus élevée de 10 à 30 cm. Les PEH ne présentent pas d’adaptation racinaire et les hautes valeurs de densités de longueur racinaires (FRLD) de surface près du tronc entraînent une diminution de 45 % de la densité racinaire de surface du fourrage, suggérant une forte compétition pour les ressources du sol. L’étude du rendement agricole a d’ailleurs révélé des réductions de biomasse fourragère particulièrement près des PEH. Cependant, les résultats d’une analyse à composantes principales suggèrent un impact secondaire de la compétition racinaire sur le rendement agricole, et une plus grande importance de la compétition pour la lumière. L’impact des PEH à croissance rapide sur la culture est plus grand que celui du CHR. Cependant, ils seront récoltés plus rapidement et l’espace libéré favorisera la croissance de la culture intercalaire. Cet aspect dynamique des SCI les rapproche des écosystèmes naturels et devrait être réfléchi et approfondi pour leur succès futur. / Spatial distributions of fine roots were studied in a tree-based intercrop system (TBI) with Quercus rubra L. (CHR), Populus deltoides x nigra (DN3570) (PEH) and pasture species (FOUR) in southern Québec (Canada). Results didn’t show deeper root profiles for trees in TBI. Profiles were superficial as commonly found for tree species grown in conventional plantations or in natural ecosystems. More than 95 % of fine roots were found in 25 cm and 45 cm depth for CHR and PEH, and in 35 cm for pasture. However, spatial separation exists between CHR and pasture fine roots systems as CHR allocate less fine roots in the top 10 cm of soil, and more between 10 cm et 30 cm. PEH fine roots didn’t show any adaption when intercropped with pasture and a high value fine root length density (FRLD) in top soil layer near tree trunk reduces pasture FRLD by 45 %, suggesting strong competition interaction for resources. Pasture yield analysis revealed biomass reduction near trees, particularly near PEH. However results of a principal component analysis indicates stronger negative effect of light reduction on pasture yield than the presence of tree fines roots. PEH, a fast growing species, have stronger impact than CHR on pasture yield but they will be harvested sooner and larger alleys should benefit the intercrop. This dynamic aspect of TBI systems is close to natural ecosystems and should be further investigated for future success.

En el marc d'un projecte més ampli sobre la comunitat de peixos de la conca lacustre de Banyoles, s'ha estudiat la distribució espacial de les diferents espècies així com l'ús que aquestes fan de l'hàbitat. El poblament piscícola de l'estany de Banyoles és el resultat d'un llarg historial d'introducció d'espècies exòtiques i extinció de les poblacions autòctones locals. S'ha revisat la seva composició actual detectant un total de 18 espècies (4 autòctones i 14 introduïdes) de les quals només 13 presenten una població estable.L'estudi de l'hàbitat s'ha centrat a l'Estany, l'element principal del sistema lacustre, analitzant per separat la zona litoral i la zona limnètica. En el primer cas s'han realitzat les captures d'individus mitjançant pesca elèctrica des d'una embarcació adaptada per aquesta pràctica. La totalitat del litoral ha estat dividida en trams de característiques homogènies on s'han obtingut les captures per unitat d'esforç per cada espècie. El mostreig s'ha desenvolupat entre l'estiu de 1997 i la primavera del 2000 realitzant un total de 10 campanyes de pesca. Les espècies més abundants al litoral són la perca americana (Micropterus salmoides) i el peix sol (Lepomis gibbosus), essent també presents la perca (Perca fluviatilis), carpa (Cyprinus carpio) i el gardí (Scardinius erythrophthalmus). S'han capturat altres espècies com ara anguila (Anguilla anguilla), bagra (Squalius cephalus), sandra (Sander lucioperca), carpí (Carassius auratus) i madrilleta vera (Rutilus rutilus), però són molt menys abundants en nombre. S'ha examinat, per cadascuna de les espècies, si existeix selecció de l'hàbitat i en cas afirmatiu, quin és el preferent en base a la classificació del litoral en sis tipus de vegetació predominant. Les espècies més abundants, perca americana i peix sol, ocupen tots els hàbitats disponibles però amb una densitat diferent. La perca mostra també una clara selecció de l'hàbitat a favor de les zones molt estructurades amb abundant presència de jonca litoral. Carpa i gardí seleccionen els ambients més fondos amb major presència de matèria orgànica d'origen vegetal procedent del bogar. En general els individus ocupen les zones amb una densitat de vegetació intermèdia, majoritàriament zones de jonca a l'estiu i zones amb mansega a l'hivern, on troben refugi i els recursos tròfics necessaris. La perca americana, a més, presenta una elevada fidelitat a un mateix punt del litoral al llarg de la seva vida.La zona limnètica ha estat prospectada mensualment mitjançant ecosondació, realitzant transectes perpendiculars a l'eix principal de l'Estany, cobrint la seva totalitat. La composició d'espècies s'ha obtingut a partir de les captures fetes amb xarxes (tresmalls) amb periodicitat estacional. L'anàlisi geoestadística de la densitat de peixos ha permès descriure l'estructura espacial d'aquesta a partir dels variogrames, així com la seva variabilitat tant espacial com temporal, i obtenir els mapes de densitat. A l'hivern, la densitat de peixos a la zona limnètica assoleix els seus valors mínims i els individus es troben formant agregats dispersos, pels diferents estrats de fondària. A partir de la primavera la densitat augmenta, pel reclutament i la major freqüència d'individus que abandonen el litoral; la densitat esdevé més homogènia a les primer capes de fondària. A l'estiu la densitat és màxima i l'estrat més homogeni coincideix amb la posició de la termoclina. Aquest estructura varia en disminuir la temperatura i barrejar-se la columna d'aigua, tornant a la situació hivernal. La perca i la madrilleta vera són les espècies predominants en aquest ambient, juntament amb la carpa. La seva distribució no és homogènia i respon a les característiques limnològiques de les diferents cubetes de l'Estany. Una particularitat d'aquest, relacionada amb el seu origen càrstic, es la formació d'una ploma hidrotermal que afecta la distribució dels peixos, probablement en augmentar la terbolesa.S'ha integrat l'ús de l'hàbitat de les espècies que ocupen tant la zona limnètica com la litoral a partir del seguiment d'individus, concretament de perca i bagra. S'ha utilitzat un sistema automàtic de posicionament que estima la localització dels individus marcats amb transmissor de telemetria acústica. L'anàlisi dels desplaçaments mostra un rang superior per la bagra en comparació amb la perca. Ambdues espècies mostren una orientació en els seus desplaçaments. La perca ocupa el litoral a la nit i es desplaça a la zona limnètica de dia, amb un ritme d'activitat marcat per dos màxims coincidint amb la sortida i posta de sol; en canvi la bagra mostra una major activitat nocturna amb zones de repòs properes al litoral. S'ha estimat igualment els dominis vital de cada individu marcat. / Habitat use and spatial distribution patterns of fish community from Lake Banyoles has been studied. Fish assemblage of this lake is the result of a long history of fish introductions and its current state has been assessed showing a high diversity with 14 exotic species and 4 native species. This study has been focused in the Lake, the main element of Banyoles's karstic system. Fish were captured in the littoral zone using a electrofishing boat. The whole perimeter of the lake was divided in 43 transects or sample units where all the fish were captured, processed and, finally, released at the same position. Sampling was divided in ten campaigns, between summer 1997 and winter 1999. Largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) and pumpkinseed sunfish (Lepomis gibbosus) were the most abundant in littoral zone. Other catches correspond to perch (Perca fluviatilis), common carp (Cyprinus carpio) and rudd (Scardinius erythrophthalmus). Habitat selection was analysed using both, the Manly Index of selection and the analysis of variance. Results showed that juvenile of largemouth bass, pumpkinseed sunfish and perch present a positive selection of habitat were Schoenoplectus litoralis or Cladium mariscus are dominants. Common carp and rudd present selection of littoral zones with Typha. Habitat selection is related with structurally complex environments. Perch and largemouth bass show temporal variation in the habitat distribution and smaller sizes preferred the intermediate vegetation density. Large bass presented also a high site fidelity. Limnetic zone was prospected monthly from December 1997 until December 1999, using both echosounding and trammel nets. Different species were detected including perch (Perca fluviatilis), roach (Rutilus rutilus), common carp (Cyprinus carpio), chub (Squalius cephalus) and pikeperch (Sander lucioperca). Fish density was maximum in summer and minimum in autumn-winter. Spatial pattern was described using geostatistics. In winter, fish formed aggregates in the center of the lake; with the increasing of fish density, in summer, the spatial distribution became more homogeneous with a maximum located at the same depth than thermocline. Abundance of different species varied with depth and limnological characteristics of basins. Also, the development of a hydrothermal plume due to underwater inflow, increase the turbidity of different parts of the lake altering fish distribution which avoid the presence of sediments. In order to monitoring the movements of perch and chub, 14 individuals were tagged with ultrasonic transmitters. Movements were followed by means of an automatic system showing a partition of habitat use between littoral zone and limnetic zone. Chub describes a pattern of movements bigger than perch but both species presents a main orientation of paths according with basin morphology. Activity (measured as velocity of displacements) was maximum at dawn and dusk in perch, with a diurnal increase while chub activity can be considered nocturnal.

For the calculation of prevalence rates were considered the data obtained from the registry cords of the family record of the SIAB - MG DATASUS considering men and women with hypertension or diabetes, aged over 15, as well as the total population by municipality, most of 15 years, according to the IBGE 2010 census. We considered the 853 municipalities of Minas Gerais as units of spatial analysis and used the techniques of spatial data analysis area, highlighting the moving average site, the autocorrelation coefficients of global and local content Moran (LISA). Moreover, were built thematic maps of spatial distribution of local autocorrelation (Box Map) and identification of the cluster, using the space-time scan statistic. It was found that spatial autocorrelation for the prevalence of hypertension and diabetes, among the municipalities, which showed coefficients Moran (global) positive and significant for all years studied, indicating similarity between the municipalities. It was possible to identify, by analyzing local grouping of municipalities in the southern part of the state with the highest prevalence rates of hypertension and diabetes also in all years studied. Also it was found that persisted cluster in space and time for both variables and is located in the southern state. We conclude that the spatial analysis to map and understand the distribution of rates of hypertension and diabetes in the state of Minas Gerais. Studies like this provide information to the local health services can select the main places with high rates in an attempt to propose actions to control and monitor the regions with low rates. / O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a distribuição espacial da taxa de prevalência de hipertensão arterial e diabetes mellitus do estado de Minas Gerais, entre 2002 a 2012. Para o cálculo das taxas de prevalência, foram considerados os dados obtidos por meio dos registros do cadastro familiar do SIAB-MG do DATASUS, considerando homens e mulheres hipertensos ou diabéticos, acima de 15 anos, bem como a população total por município, maior de 15 anos, conforme censo 2010 do IBGE. Foram considerados os 853 municípios de Minas Geais como unidades de análise espacial e utilizou-se as técnicas de análise espacial de dados de área, destacando-se a média móvel local, os coeficientes de autocorrelação global de Moran e o índice local de Moran (LISA). Além disso, foram construídos mapas temáticos de distribuição espacial, de autocorrelação local (Box Map) e de identificação de cluster, utilizando a estatística Scan espaço- temporal. Verificou-se que há autocorrelação espacial para a taxa de prevalência de hipertensão e de diabetes, entre os municípios, em que apresentou coeficientes de Moran (global) positivos e significativos para todos os anos estudados, indicando similaridade entre os municípios. Foi possível identificar, por meio da análise local, agrupamento de municípios situados na parte sul do estado com maiores taxas de prevalência de hipertensão e também de diabetes em todos os anos estudados. Também constatou-se cluster que persistiram no espaço e no tempo para ambas as variáveis e que se localizaram no sul do estado. Conclui-se que a análise espacial permitiu mapear e compreender a distribuição das taxas de hipertensão e diabetes no estado de Minas Gerais. Estudos como este fornecem informações para que os serviços de saúde local possam selecionar os principais locais com taxas altas, na tentativa de propor ações de controle, bem como monitorar as regiões que apresentam taxas baixas.
