Abstract

The Geographic Information System (GIS) is now an important
and necessary component integrated in Planning
Support Systems (PSS). Using GIS and PSS in the
Health and Nutrition sectors worldwide is booming
and very developed, but the development in Macedonia,
or the use of these systems, is very low.
The scope of research for this paper is to prepare models
for the creation of PSS systems using the GIS for
the health and nutrition sectors and their application
in the Republic of Macedonia. The purpose of this research
is to create a model that could be used in the
Health and Nutrition sectors in the Republic of Macedonia.
This shall improve the strategic planning in the
Health sector, and it will be much easier to prevent the
spreading of diseases. In this paper, an original concept
is applied for building a model via GIS modelling
and directions are provided for its use.
The model is built on the basis of several principles,
and one of the most important is to provide greater
visibility and full understanding of the process that is
built into the model.
The building of a good model to use in the Health and
Nutrition sectors would help the country, as well as its
citizens, to act preventively through the adoption of
effective, timely and correct decisions. Research has
shown that the application of GIS, in the building of the
model, is a very important and necessary component.

Key words: GIS, PSS, Nutrition, Health Sector, Model,
Modelling.
