Sistema Espacial de Suporte à Decisão para Gestão do Combate ao Dengue usando Lógica Fuzzy

ABSTRACT A Brasilian public health problem is dengue, whose virus is transmitted by a vector (the mosquito Aedes aegypt). Despite of efforts of health authorities in order to control this disease, the registered cases number has increased over the years. As consequence, we have an epidemiological problem of identifying priority areas to combat it providing support the definition of specific public health policies. This paper aims at the development of a spatial decision support system, which allows to take into account different information aggregated by a fuzzy rule-based system to detect priority areas for intervention on this disease. The system was applied to study of dengue at Paraíba state of Brazil from 2009 to 2013.
