New Orleans is a city of contradictions. On the one hand, New Orleans is famously called “The Big Easy” and, “the city care forgot” both of which indicate a relaxed attitude towards life and its troubles. This, however, is at odds with the realities experienced by the lower-middle-class residents of the city and parish. Our interviewees perceived systemic corruption, structural inequality, and obdurate bureaucracy as primary barriers to developing a more energy-efficient city. At this research site, we set out to examine the energy savings practices and attitudes of lower-income residents of New Orleans who are renters or live in public housing. The people who do successfully access public weatherization assistance are the ones that marshal an array of capitals (cultural, social, political, and economic) to navigate “the system.” From a programmatic standpoint, there are significant barriers to reaching low-income households with energy efficiency services and information. Low-income populations tend to be diverse in terms of culture, language, and housing arrangements. Capitals make defining such populations in need problematic; as we see here, even self-identified low-income residents of New Orleans had not defined themselves as in need of assistance.

Smart Home for The Geriatric Population.pptx105ECON105
The world’s population is getting older these days. Frailty, a gerontologic health condition associated with ageing, has serious consequences. One crucial remedy for the elderly population is the development of ageing-in-place infrastructures. To better understand the market requirements for ageing housing units, the causes of downsizing and the governmental measures to ameliorate the situation, face-to-face in-depth individual and focus group interviews were conducted in this study. Elderly residents of two significant ageing-in-place institutions in Hong Kong, along with their caregivers, were interviewed. The method of methodological triangulation was used to combine interviews, records, and communication tools to increase the reliability and trustworthiness of the findings. The provision of facilities for the elderly has successfully established a pathway for creating and making housing spaces available to families who need larger homes, while the elderly typically downsize from larger homes and relieve their financial needs. It is also found that a digital divide exists; some respondents suggested that they do not know about computers and do not use smart facilities in their homes.

The dimensions of healthcare quality refer to various attributes or aspects that define the standard of healthcare services. These dimensions are used to evaluate, measure, and improve the quality of care provided to patients. A comprehensive understanding of these dimensions ensures that healthcare systems can address various aspects of patient care effectively and holistically. Dimensions of Healthcare Quality and Performance of care include the following; Appropriateness, Availability, Competence, Continuity, Effectiveness, Efficiency, Efficacy, Prevention, Respect and Care, Safety as well as Timeliness.
COVID-19 PCR tests remain a critical component of safe and responsible travel in 2024. They ensure compliance with international travel regulations, help detect and control the spread of new variants, protect vulnerable populations, and provide peace of mind. As we continue to navigate the complexities of global travel during the pandemic, PCR testing stands as a key measure to keep everyone safe and healthy. Whether you are planning a business trip, a family vacation, or an international adventure, incorporating PCR testing into your travel plans is a prudent and necessary step.

3. Introduction
• We have spent more than a decade presenting spatial
applications to health and social service audiences
• We are lucky if they even know what a GIS is – the
rest of giscience is often completely new
• Understanding how and where spatial science and
technology can be applied remains a fringe audience
• Digital literacy in health and social care is usually rare
and piecemeal at best – this needs to change
• Population ageing is changing the face of health,
social and economic policy globally – how and where
will we contribute?
• How do we make health and social care more spatial?

10. Location in an ageing world
• Where you age has an impact on how you age
e.g. rural vs urban, travel times, public
transport access, emergency service response
times, local shopping, GP and pharmacy access,
allied health supports, family connections, Post
Office, availability and quality of a hospital,
quality and experience of staff in the hospital,
geriatrics expertise?, dementia care?
Residential care facility? Respite and referral
services and on and on it goes…
11. Coping with Complexity
• Our systems and, of necessity, our models are getting
increasingly complex – but communication still matters
e.g. ‘big data’
• The interactions between the natural and built
environments are intensifying and becoming more
variable e.g. natural disasters
• Extreme natural events are on the rise with significant
societal and economic implications e.g. Munich Re
• Human perception, will and strategies are lagging
• Few other technologies with the capacity to capture
these levels on interconnection-interaction – an major
opportunity for spatial science and technology

Source: Travaglia, 2009
• The elderly (older, very old, oldest old, centenarians and supercentenarians)
• Indigenous peoples
• Immigrants – especially those with limited local language skills
• People with disabilities, especially cognitive/communicative impairments
• Children and youth
• Patients with literacy and communication problems
• People from lower SES
• Geographically isolated individuals
• Socially isolated individuals
• The homeless
• The frail and malnourished
• Patients with co-morbidities and chronic illness
• Patients with high acuity and complex system dependence (e.g. dialysis)
• Those with liminal (social, physical, geographic) status
• Those without an advocate
20. Disease, Illness, Prevention and Location
• Every few years healthcare realises that location
matters again e.g. Gawande and the Hot Spotters,
2001
• Then they go back to business as usual – mostly
• In a system about aged people, location can only
increase in importance e.g. RACFs vs acute care
admissions
• Occasionally we produce digital versions of the
analogue maps we produced in the first place –
still limited applications

31. The Opportunity and the Contribution
• Possible, probable and actual?
• Effective, relevant and efficient service provision –
in a time of rising costs and political interventions
• Quality and safety issues can only increase – for
staff and clients e.g. travel times, injuries, isolation,
dying alone
• Connections between services e.g. NDIS => ageing,
disability and diversity in Australia
• Family supports, advocacy organisations, service
evaluation, site location (RACF) etc
• Spatialising the whole aged care sector (health and
social services) - for every issue that has a useful
locational component
32. Some Key Spatial Concepts for Health Research
• Human beings are innately spatial – cognition, memory and behavior
=> brains, languages, cultures, evolutionary development (Keith Clarke,
2011)
• Settlement patterns, agriculture, urban processes, travel patterns,
service logistics etc are all spatially constituted
• Most social constructs involve explicit or implicit spatial characteristics
(e.g. society, population, social networks, social capital, embodiment)
• Maps and mapping are both data analysis and visualisation processes –
back to spatial cognition – building on this knowledge
• Health policy and research use terms like ‘ageing in place’ in largely
atheoretical ways – lack of critique and reflection
• It is often clear that health researchers and practitioners don’t know
what they don’t know about space and place constructs, spatial
technologies and spatial science more broadly still
33. Buildinging Capacity
• Spatial technology is pervasive, spatial literacy is not
• Building on digital revolution and literacy for use
• Translational knowledge and skills – clinical/field
applications e.g. disaster health management, obesity
programs, health promotion, child health, ageing etc
• Addressing problems from multiple perspectives e.g.
policy, service provision, advocacy, client/user, carers etc
• Creating and developing markets by investing in users –
not just the technical ‘fix’ or another failed IT contract
• Multi-scalar approach – boards, executives, clinicians,
administrators, other professionals
• Informatics integration – health informatics weak on
locational applications, they think IT ‘conquers’ space –
the only time you’ll hear doctors paraphrase Karl Marx
34. Conclusion
• Spatial science and technology has made limited inroads
into health and social policy domains in Australia to date
• The rise of more complex and expensive problems
presents an opportunity for spatial science and technology
• Population ageing is the demographic policy issue of our
time and for another generation beyond to 2050
• Spatial science and technology has the potential to make
population ageing policy and community ageing
sustainable, effective and even efficient - maybe
• To do that, spatial skills and applications need to address
the internal complexity and fragmented nature of the
social policy domain – pilot projects won’t cut it
• Where possible, target the users, not the gate-keepers,
because they’ll be a more digitally literate audience
35. Shameless Self-Promotion Slide
• If I don’t, it’s fairly unlikely anyone else will…
• Sometimes presentations and workshops
linger – so start targeting health conferences!
• Presenting in 2014 (so far) at:
– International Sociological Association, Yokohama
– New Zealand Association of Gerontology
– Submissions in for numerous other Australian,
regional and international conferences
