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.
