Abstract: Geospatial information obtained from satellite data can contribute in various ways in assessing and dealing with prevalence of diseases. In this study, patterns of Buruli Ulcer (BU) in Central Cameroon were analysed using satellite imagery and GIS techniques in order to provide a better understanding of spatial characteristics and possible transmission mechanism of BU. First, geospatial mapping of BU case data was performed to assess spatial patterns. Second, a qualitative assessment was conducted based on environmental factors and exposure variables to address the (relative) infection risk for BU in the study area.

GIS as a technology has come a long way, from
the early adoption of technical wizardry to the
ubiquitous, if unconscious use by the masses. The
emergence of a GISociety is on its way through
technological development, theoretical and empirical
scientific research and inclusion of technology
into education with increasing pedagogical justification.
Defining new dimensions of hard- and software,
brainware and orgware are all needed to
further enhance the GISociety with new geospatial
innovations.
