KY DGI [email protected]
Time & Location:
14:30‐14:50, 20 minutes Student Center Addition, Rm. 228 Description:
The use of GIS in the Commonwealth of Kentucky dates back practically to the time when the technology first became commercially available. In contrast to those days, the implementation and deployment of GIS applications and services in state, regional and local government is now imbued with a strong enterprise vision, seeking to serve the citizenry while also integrating communities of practice. Over the last 40 years Kentucky has become intensely data‐rich in a geospatial sense and several levels of government exhibit substantial maturity in the use of the technology. In addition to the different levels of functionality provided by the most commonly used software, on‐line mapping, and viewing utilities provide the ability to mash‐up different data sources. The increasing availability of and access to higher accuracy elevation data and higher spatial resolution multispectral imagery allow practitioners to better engage the public through geovisualization. This brief presentation will focus on geospatial information services available to different user segments.

Using GPS & GIS Technologies to Characterize Relationships Among Travel Behavior, Food Accessibility, and Health
Jay Christian Ph.D. Student
University of Kentucky Markey Cancer Control Program [email protected]
Time & Location:
11:05‐11:25, 20 minutes Student Center Addition, Rm. 211 Description:
Recent epidemiologic studies have noted statistical associations between the spatial accessibility of various types of retail food sources (supermarkets, groceries, convenience stores, and restaurants of all types) and individual characteristics such as weight, socioeconomic status, and race/ethnicity. These ‘food desert’ studies typically use the proximity of retail food sources to individuals' residences as a measure of the accessibility of nutritious foods. Since most people travel outside of their neighborhoods on a daily basis, however, the number and types of retail food sources available to individuals residing in the same area could vary widely. This presentation will address strategies for modeling food accessibility in a manner that accounts for daily movement through the city, specifically by applying the concept of activity space, or the space within which an individual’s daily activities occur. These techniques, developed as part of my dissertation research, include primary data collection—GPS tracking and surveys to gather information on dietary and food shopping habits—and GIS tools to process and analyze spatial data related to participants’ activity spaces and retail food locations.

Utilizing GIS in Public Health Gerontology Research
Deborah Anne Dunn DrPh ‐ Gerontology Student, MPH University of Kentucky Gerontology
Time & Location:
11:25‐11:45, 20 minutes Student Center Addition, Rm. 211 Description:
Elderly adults living outside of institutions are affected by their surrounding neighborhood poverty. Socioeconomic status (SES) can affect healthcare and is often strongly correlated with behavioral patterns and neighborhood attributes that profoundly influence health risks and morbidity and mortality outcomes. Plotting the location of available senior services, such as senior centers and low cost healthcare clinics in comparison to the congregated population of seniors living in Lexington, Kentucky, offers a link to further understanding neighborhood environmental impact on the quality and quantity of care and services offered to seniors. These factors coalesce to make quality of care a significant challenge to our politicians and local government officials. Neighborhood level poverty is arguably the most ubiquitous risk factor for population health. The use of area‐based socioeconomic measures of “percent below poverty” offers a means to link case‐based data with census based information on associated populations and communities. Zip codes of over 65 adults residing in the Lexington Kentucky area are assigned a latitude and longitude (geocoded), and these coordinates are then used to map geocoded cases and associate them with census tracts and the socioeconomic data collected within them as part of the 2009 American Community Survey. Therefore, area based socioeconomic measures provide estimates of the SES of individual geocoded populations of seniors, as well as direct measures of socioeconomic attributes of the communities in which they reside. This presentation will offer an overview of the process undertaken and the use of GIS for descriptive epidemiology of the population.

Using GIS to Change the Incidence and Mortality Rates for Colorectal Cancer
Thomas Tucker Assoc. Dir. for Cancer Prevention and Control University of Kentucky Markey Cancer Center
Time & Location:
13:05‐13:15, 10 minutes Student Center Addition, Rm. 129 (Worsham Theatre) Description:
GIS is not one thing. Rather, it is a complex set of tools that allow us to derive meaning from geospatial relationships. This is just one example of how a very simple and basic application of GIS can be a powerful tool for initiating action and measuring change. GIS tools developed by the Kentucky Cancer Registry were used to identify the areas of the state with highest need for colorectal cancer screening. This information was presented to the District Cancer Councils in each of the state’s 15 Area Development Districts. Following these presentations, intensive programs aimed at increasing colorectal cancer screening were implemented in each of the target areas. As a result of these efforts, the colorectal cancer screening rates in Kentucky nearly doubled from 34.7% of the age eligible population to 63.7% and both incidence and mortality were reduced by 16%. This is a very real public health success story.

Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes among Children/Adolescents in Kentucky: A GIS Approach to Assessing Access to Care Provided by Endocrinologists and Potential Tele‐Endocrinology Sites
Gary Shannon Regular Faculty
University of Kentucky Geography [email protected]
Time & Location:
13:40‐14:00, 20 minutes Student Center Addition, Rm. 129 (Worsham Theatre) Description:
Type 1 (juvenile‐onset) or insulin‐dependent and Type 2 (formerly called adult‐onset) or non‐insulin dependent diabetes is one of the more serious chronic diseases in the United States. In 2010 an estimated 215,000 people younger than 20 years had diabetes. A national study conducted from 2002–2005 found that 15,600 children/adolescents were newly diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes annually, and 3,600 were newly diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. This presentation focuses the: (A) increasing incidence and prevalence of diabetes among children and adolescents; (B) scarcity and geographic imbalance of physicians (pediatric and adult endocrinologists PEs/Es) trained to deal with diabetes among this group; and, (C) use of GIS to assess (a) the extant distribution of PEs/Es vis‐à‐vis the distribution of the population (17 years of age and under) in Kentucky; and (b) the potential use of tele‐endocrinology to offset the current geographical imbalance of PEs/Es. The approach incorporates specialists’ addresses, block‐level US Census population data and road‐network travel time calculated from the Bureau’s Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing System. Travel‐time service areas are calculated and mapped for each board‐certified endocrinologist and possible remote tele‐endocrinology sites. The at‐risk populations within and outside service areas for the existing distribution of specialists and proposed remote service areas are determined and mapped. This approach allows for identification of underserved areas and potential impact of proposed tele‐endocrinology sites on accessibility. This approach is a valuable and practical tool for evaluating the spatial‐temporal access to current distributions of specialists as well as planning for and implementing telemedicine.

Investigating the Geographic Distributions of Lung Cancer Incidence and Trace Elements Exposure in Appalachian Kentucky
Jay Christian Ph.D. Student
University of Kentucky Markey Cancer Control Program [email protected]
Time & Location:
14:10‐14:30, 20 minutes Student Center Addition, Rm. 129 (Worsham Theatre) Description:
Recent work in population‐based cancer epidemiology has suggested the incidence of lung cancer is higher than expected in Central Appalachia, which includes eastern Kentucky, even after accounting for the effects of cigarette smoking and other important risk factors. A large federally‐funded research project at UK's Markey Cancer Center will soon investigate whether this could be associated with exposure to carcinogenic trace elements, such as arsenic, chromium, or nickel. In this short presentation, I will describe how GIS and other spatial analytic tools will help researchers to determine if environmental exposure to these trace elements, potentially related to coal mining activities, contributes to Kentucky's burden of lung cancer.

Mapping Geographical Clusters of Lung Cancer Mortality Rates
Timothy Hare Associate Professor of Anthropology
Morehead State School of Public Affairs [email protected]
Time & Location:
14:50‐15:10, 20 minutes Student Center Addition, Rm. 129 (Worsham Theatre) Description:
I explore changing spatial patterns in the relationships connecting morbidity and mortality due to lung cancer with associated factors across central Appalachia using an integrated database of multiple factors with geographical positions. Exploratory spatial data analysis (ESDA) and spatial regression are used to assess and compare the spatial distributions of the various factors. These analyses reveal a complex heterogeneous pattern connecting lung cancer mortality and a variety of social, economic, and policy factors, especially high levels of socioeconomic deprivation. The results of this project are directed at understanding the determinants of health to provide a basis for guiding policy and creation of targeted interventions to reduce morbidity and mortality rates in central Appalachia, especially in areas that are currently underserved.

16:20‐16:40, 20 minutes Student Center Addition, Rm. 129 (Worsham Theatre) Description:
"There is no system for being informed of what the problems are with the products you have in your body. Even your physician may not know," said Terry Fadem, president of the Biomedical Research and Education Foundation, in an address on October 9, 2009. In traditional product manufacturing industries, manufacturers have a centralized system for tracking products throughout their product cycle. However, no such system is in place for medical equipment makers. Physicians and manufactures do not have an easy way of knowing the status of problematic devices or which patients received such a device. In 2008, approximately 2500 medical devices were recalled for safety issues. According to the Food and Drug Administration that was a 164 percent increase since 2000. Additionally, 1 out of 6 medical malpractice claims are a result of infection created by medical errors like a doctor forgetting a sponge or an instrument in a patient. These errors led to around $9.3 billion in expenses from 1998 to 2007 GIS type systems and procedures could be employed to alleviate some of the problem. There are many approaches to mitigating these errors. An application of GIS types system and procedures are worth exploring. Instrument positional information, implant tagging, patient tracking and database all hold promise in reducing the expenses associated with these preventable errors as well as potentially reducing the pain and suffering and unnecessary deaths resulting from these untracked medical items.

GIS‐Based Crash Analysis in Kentucky
Eric Green Engineer Associate III/Research
Kentucky Transportation Center College of Engineering [email protected]
Time & Location:
13:30‐13:50, 20 minutes Student Center, Rm. 212 (Center Theatre) Description:
This research study evaluated the current accuracy of the location information provided in Kentucky's crash data. Since the year 2000, the Kentucky Open Portal System's (KYOPS) eCrash form has included latitude and longitude data as well as the more traditional County, Route and Milepoint data (CRMP). The Kentucky Transportation Center conducted a research report in 2004 that evaluated the effectiveness of using latitude and longitude, or GPS, as a means to locate traffic crash data.1 This previous study found that both the CRMP and GPS location data had substantial problems resulting in the location data only being accurate about 50 percent of the time using either method. This research aimed to follow up that study since KYOPS has added a mapping system called MapIt that generates CRMP data as well as GPS data using a GIS‐based interface allowing the user to click on a map using roadway names and milepoints as reference.

Visualizing Demographic Characteristics of the SunRail Commuter Shed in Orlando, Florida
Tim Brock Doctoral Student / Research Associate University of Kentucky Geography
Time & Location:
13:10‐13:20, 7 minutes Student Center, Rm. 305A (Small Ballroom) Description:
This lighting talk will present research focusing on the demographic characteristics of household income and race‐ethnicity for the SunRail commuter shed. Using GIS, this research examines the north‐south route of the commuter rail system, which is currently being constructed along existing freight rail corridors in Orlando, in relation to the east‐west orientation of low income and minority populations. The presentation will also highlight the issues of working with race‐ethnicity census data since the 2000 Census policy change, which allows respondents to simultaneously claim Hispanic ethnicity and White or Black race affiliations. Given the propensity of political narratives to use Black‐White‐Hispanic as the three main US racial categories, visualizing current race‐ethnicity data in an effective manner has become more problematic with Census Bureau datasets.

Conflation of Disparate Transportation Networks
Michael Shouse Graduate Research Assistant
Kentucky Transportation Center College of Engineering [email protected]
Time & Location:
12:00‐13:00, 60 minutes Student Center, Rm. 305 (Grand Ballroom) Description:
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet purchased speed data from a private vendor. Even if the private sector speed data are used for mobility measures, there is still a need for traffic volume and roadway inventory data from the HPMS database. Traffic volumes are necessary to calculate traveler delay (person or vehicle‐hours of delay), as well as to calculate weighted averages when combining performance measures for all roads in an urban area. Therefore, there is a need to match the HPMS roadway network to the private sector speed network, such that directly measured average speeds, traffic volumes, and roadway inventory data could be available for all roadway links on a statewide basis. The primary difficulties of combining (or conflating) these two roadway networks are that they: 1. use different linear referencing systems, 2. are segmented differently, 3. have different levels of coverage, and 4. have different geometry.

Time & Location:
13:00‐14:00, 60 minutes Student Center, Rm. 305 (Grand Ballroom) Description:
A commercially available on‐the‐go soil pH sensor (Fig. 1) measures and maps subsurface soil pH at high spatial intensities across managed landscapes. The overall purpose of this project was to evaluate the potential for this sensor to be used in agricultural fields. The specific goals were to determine and evaluate 1) the accuracy with which this instrument can be calibrated, 2) the geospatial structure of soil pH measurements, and 3) interpolation quality. The study was conducted at a research farm in central Kentucky. Soil pH sensor measurements were collected and georeferenced. Prediction data sets were created from measurements collected along parallel passes separated by 12‐m. Validation measurements were collected along passes that were approximately perpendicular to direction of the prediction data set measurements with passes separated by 42.67‐m. Calibration datasets were collected with a hand probe (10‐cm depth). Semivariograms were calculated with SAS (Cary, NC) and modeled visually. Simple relationships were strong between sensor and laboratory measurements including soil water ph (r2= 0.87), salt pH (r2= 0.85), and SMP buffer pH (r2= 0.84). The data were well structured spatially (i.e., relative structural variability = 78.7%; range of spatial structure = 31‐m). Kriging prediction errors with the validation data set were larger than desired (i.e., rmse = 0.418; r2 for the relationship between predicted and measured values = 0.52). The data suggest that the on‐the‐go pH sensor has potential to to be a useful tool in agricultural fields in Kentucky.
