Research of epidemiology is one of the important components in the field of public health while spatial epidemiology combing traditional epidemiology with Geographic Information Science is often regarded as an effective way for visualization analysis. Here we conduct a disease study under the help of spatial technologies using one-year real epidemic data collected from Ningbo, Zhejiang, China where an epidemic cartography approach taking data scale into account is newly proposed and elaborated. The demonstrated experimental results indicate that the proposed method performs more flexible for analysis than that of traditional statistical methods.
