From Multidisciplinarity to Inter- & Transdisciplinarity
  S PATIAL ANALYSIS OF DIFFERENT DATABASES Database for each individual and household included in the housing and health survey SPSS Database of results of  field work & survey SPSS Geo-referenced data and statistics of municipalities Geo-referenced data of population and housing stock Geo-referenced data of socio-health information Topographical maps Links
ADDED VALUE OF ONE HEALTH APPROACH Admits complexity and change. Recognizes the need for a broad systemic conceptual framework. Encourages interdisciplinary contributions. Seeks to relate research findings to policy definition & implementation. We recommend that: More attention is given to the social and economic factors that influence human health, animal and environmental health and the interrelations between them.

  • 11. ADDED VALUE OF ONE HEALTH APPROACH Admits complexity and change. Recognizes the need for a broad systemic conceptual framework. Encourages interdisciplinary contributions. Seeks to relate research findings to policy definition & implementation. We recommend that: More attention is given to the social and economic factors that influence human health, animal and environmental health and the interrelations between them.
