Abstract

This paper presents the spatial susceptibility risk mapping of tuberculosis (TB) using a geographical information system (GIS) index model and satellite remote sensing (RS) imagery. GIS and RS-based index approach is proposed as an alternative method in identifying potentially high-risk areas in Klang, Selangor. The level of risk for the selected socio-spatial factors and the risk map was classified into five-scale from level 1, which is no risk to level 5, which indicates high risk by applying an overlay analysis and a weighted linear combination. The risk index map shows that a high concentration of TB cases is located in the district's urban and crowded areas.
