INFORMATION SYSTEM OF HEALTH INFRASTRUCTURE IN METROPOLITAN AREAS OF MEXICO REGIONAL CENTER

The purpose of this study is to reveal the geographic patterns of health infrastructure in metropolitan areas of central Mexico, specifically attention and coverage, human resources and physical resources by type of institution. The map scale is 1: 1,994,554. The level of analysis is by metropolitan area. Information sources are mainly the Population and Housing Census 2010 and Statistical Yearbook of the Federal District and the states of Hidalgo, Mexico, Morelos, Puebla, Queretaro and Tlaxcala with 2010 data. Among the key findings of the research highlights the fact that in the central region of Mexico, the distribution of health infrastructure presents a spatial differentiation and inequalities between metropolitan areas and within each state.

APPLICATION OF GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS IN THE AGRICULTURAL SECTOR OF THE STATE OF MEXICO. CASE TROUT PRODUCTION IN THE STATE OF MEXICO

The agricultural sector today presents a situation of low growth and retention, problems of communities and in this case the producers of trout (rainbow) in different regions, is the search for alternative solutions through a decisionassertive decisions, what it requires in-depth analysis. The objective of this project is to identify geographic areas that have the physical and geographical conditions for the production of this product, through the application of multimethod and with the support of Geographical Information Systems (GIS). The main result is the identification of optimal variables for the production of rainbow trout: Altitude, climate, vegetation, annual rainfall, and land use.
