Defining Primary Care Shortage Areas
PURPOSE: To examine whether geographic information systems (GIS)-based physician-to-population ratios (PPRs) yield determinations of geographic primary care shortage areas that differ from those based on bounded-area PPRs like those used in the Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA) designation process. METHODS: We used geocoded data on primary care physician (PCP) locations and census block population counts from 1 US state to construct 2 shor…
The Carbon Holdings of Northern Ecuador's Mangrove Forests
Within a GIS environment, we combine field measures of mangrove diameter,\nmangrove species distribution, and mangrove density with remotely sensed\nmeasures of mangrove location and mangrove canopy cover to estimate the\nmangrove carbon holdings of northern Ecuador. We find that the four northern\nestuaries of Ecuador contain approximately 7,742,999 t (plus or minus 15.47\npercent) of standing carbon. Of particular high carbon holdings are the\n…
Smallholders’ adaptations to droughts and climatic variability in southeastern Mexico
This study explores the temporal and spatial variability and change in rainfall across southeastern Mexico and the mechanisms by which smallholder farmers adapt to this variability, especially droughts. Members of 150 households in 10 communities were interviewed to investigate adaptation strategies among swidden maize smallholders, linked to their perceptions of climate changes. Precipitation data from seven weather stations were analyzed for th…
Titling community land to prevent deforestation
Assigning land title to collective landholders is one of the primary policies land management agencies use to avoid deforestation worldwide. Such programs are designed to improve the ability of landholders to legally exclude competing users and thereby strengthen incentives to manage forests for long-term benefits. Despite the prevalence of this hypothesis, findings about the impacts of land titling programs on deforestation are mixed. Evidence i…
Death to Kappa
The family of Kappa indices of agreement claim to compare a map's observed classification accuracy relative to the expected accuracy of baseline maps that can have two types of randomness: (1) random distribution of the quantity of each category and (2) random spatial allocation of the categories. Use of the Kappa indices has become part of the culture in remote sensing and other fields. This article examines five different Kappa indices, some of…
