Tracking Protocol Proposal
Using basic concepts of spatial analysis in conjunction with "social" cartography, we created the theoretical framework that could help optimize a protocol for tracking and verifying the spatial dispersion of cases from a known case (tracking / cracking tracking). This research is ongoing and is based on the concepts of spatial and social cycles, as shown in the pictures below.
​
Spatial circles show the basic spatial positions in the life of each individual as a rule: the place of residence, place of work, other places (entertainment, supply, goods, etc.). The circles intersect with the rectangle depicting the paths to them.
​
Social circles concern the people of our social contacts (social contacts).
The two cycles are connected, which means that there are common questions in the questionnaire of a tracking protocol through questions to patients/cases. Thus possible errors or contradictions, or omissions in the answers of the citizen/case to the spatial questions will be identified in the second series of questions of the social circles.
