![]() SVG GIS output can be used to advance theory by being used as input into qualitative and/or spatial analyses. In addition, SVG provides a means to spatially capture, map and archive institutional knowledge. ![]() The method can also gather data for cohorts where traditional spatial data are absent. SVG can be used to map individual, group, or contested group context for an environment. This approach is illustrated using case studies on post-disaster psychopathology, crime, mosquito control, and TB in homeless populations. Querying and density analysis can then be performed on the narrative text to identify spatial patterns within one narrative or across multiple narratives. ![]() ![]() A program (G-Code) is then used to geotag each word as a point in a geographic information system (GIS). Audio recording of this narrative is linked to the video via time stamp. Four GPS-enabled cameras are attached to the vehicle to capture the places that are observed and discussed by the participant. Participants comment about where they live or work while guiding a driver through the area. It is a simple yet powerful approach to enable collection and spatial analysis of expert and resident health-related perceptions and experiences of places. The Spatial Video Geonarrative (SVG) is an environmentally-cued narrative where place is used to stimulate discussion about fine-scale geographic characteristics of an area and the context of their occurrence. This also needs to happen within a standardized, transferable, easy-to-implement framework. To do this, methods are required that can collect “contextual” characteristics while complementing the spatial analysis of more traditional data. A call has recently been made by the public health and medical communities to understand the neighborhood context of a patient’s life in order to improve education and treatment. ![]()
