- Healthy City Institute, Kaunas, Lithuania
The Geographical Information System was developed for the city's environmental and health assessment and management. In this information system data on health, social and physical environment, living conditions are collected. The structure and possibilities of the information system are discussed, as well as some practical problems during the creation of such system. On the basis of ecological monitoring data environmental and health maps were created. Using the different suitability maps the ecological Kaunas map was created. The main risk for health in Kaunas regions was established - Palemonas, Šančiai, Centras, Petrašiunai.
