Given changes in the faces of AIDS over the last decade, it is crucial that disparities in health and access to healthcare are addressed. An Internet-based GIS was developed using ESRI's Arc Internet Map Server (Arc IMS) to provide users with a suite of tools to interact with geographic data and conduct spatial analyses related to the characteristics that promote or impede the provision of HIV-related services. Internet Mapping allows those engaged in local decision-making to: (1) geographically visualize information via the Internet; (2) Assess the relationship between the distribution of HIV services and spatially referenced socio-economic data; and (3) generate "what if" scenarios" that may direct the allocation of healthcare resources.
鉴于过去十年艾滋病情况的变化，解决健康和医疗保健可及性方面的差距至关重要。利用ESRI的Arc Internet地图服务器（Arc IMS）开发了一个基于互联网的地理信息系统（GIS），为用户提供一套工具，以便与地理数据进行交互，并对与促进或阻碍提供艾滋病毒相关服务的特征进行空间分析。互联网地图使参与地方决策的人员能够：（1）通过互联网在地理上直观呈现信息；（2）评估艾滋病毒服务分布与空间参考社会经济数据之间的关系；以及（3）生成可能指导医疗资源分配的“假设”情景。
