Abstract

When designing public health policy to prevent the spread of disease, it is crucial to consider the difference in each administrative region. Residents’ daily and inter-regions activities are essential when epidemic diseases are spreading. Most of the statistical data in the traditional public health system cannot capture these behaviors. The standard statistic data and the disease transmission behaviors are combined and equally considered in the disease-transmission simulation system. According to the data from the simulation system, the administrative regions in Taiwan are separated into one urban and three non-urban areas by the clustering algorithm. Then we use decision tree algorithms to determine the main factors when deciding whether an area is rural or urban. The experiment results show that the percentage of elders and the road infrastructure is the main feature for determining the type of an area.
