The Distribution of Accidents and Work Injuries using GIS technique: Baghdad as a Case Study

Abstract

The research involved collect data through data extraction from satellite images, spatial and non-spatial data which provide from field survey that used in design of geodatabase and digital maps for study area through last three years (2015-2017) to record the frequency of work injuries occurring in Baghdad and spatial distribution for these work injuries. On the other side this research maintain the issue of losses the efforts of awareness teams which work with national center of occupational safety and health through apply GIS technique help the planners to prepare focused and effective plans through benefit from the spatial distribution of accident and work injuries to publish the knowledge of occupational safety and health between the labors in private sector according to how extent the types and numbers of work injuries. Also the research involved building geodatabase for the locations of governmental hospitals which covered by the system of monitoring and recording work injuries and spatial analysis for the types and numbers of work injuries by using satellite images and ArcGIS program to produce cartography maps involved the numerous classifications in addition to display the spatial relationship between the industrial activities and the type of work injuries in Baghdad area.
