Abstract

The Geographic Information System (GIS) is an important tool for managing and analysing geographic data related to policies, programs and outcomes in the context of physical activity and health. The Aims of this study is to describe the methods and the application of GIS to assess the environment related to physical activity and health. Some steps are essential for the use of GIS, including development of fundamental knowledge for the operation of the tool, identification and mastery of the computational programs appropriate to the characteristics of the research project, acquisition of spatial data, creation and analysis of indicators and, finally, spatial information. The information derived from GIS allows accuracy in analyses related to large communities, such as neighbourhoods and cities. The use of GPS devices (Global Positioning System) and accelerometer, for example, can expand the detail of information on where, who, when and what physical activities are performed. In addition, information obtained through systematic observation and self-reports can add aspects about the quality of the places where physical activities are performed. In conclusion, the use of GIS, joining with other methods, can be helpfully to understand the role of environmental changes and public policies aimed at the environment, population levels of physical activity, as provide evidence that helps to plan healthier cities as well.
