Table 6. Classification of temporal and spatial resolutions relevant to vector control and public health decision-making.
Classification Term | Spatial or Temporal | Resolution |
---|---|---|
Long-term planning | Temporal | Years to decades |
Medium-term planning | Temporal | Months to year |
Short-term planning | Temporal | Days to weeks |
Coarse grain | Spatial | Multiple/large management districts (e.g., county or above) |
Medium grain | Spatial | Single management district or county subdivision |
Fine grain | Spatial | Meters to km, within a management district |
