Here's another one-- unrelated to the first: We are trying to re-locate our present 6 environmental health offices to better places to serve the public. The main functions of each office are cleaning up roads and drains, checking on the hygiene of food establishments, performing mosquito surveillance, issuing licenses to the public, public education, ...etc. How can I determine the best number of health offices to have to serve the population? And where are the best locations for these offices? As you already know, I have a data on the spatial distribution of population as a GIS polygon layer. Thanks very much for your help, everyone. Have a great weekend! Basil Ministry of the Environment Singapore .
