Demographic behaviour and population health
Health care accessibility and quality as well as health status of people are topics which have contemporarily increased in importance regarding spatial inequalities. Moreover, the current epidemic of COVID-19 shows the value of research on spatial epidemiological patterns. Health status is also closely connected to the quality of the environment.
Besides the health care accessibility in Czechia, the very recent applications also focuses on the spread of COVID-19. In this specific section, we also offer an application considering the environment- particularly water quality. More applications are being developed.
