administrative division

7 These two studies mapped point data, were limited to one year data, and did not present burden of RTC victims by administrative subdivisions of Karachi.

8 For effectively addressing RTC mortality burden in the city, it is important to identify its spatial distribution by administrative subdivisions of Karachi.

In this study we used GIS to visualize and quantify the spatial distribution of RTIRPC's RTC mortality and yearly trend from 2008 to 2012, for all 24 administrative subdivisions of Karachi.

We analyzed data in terms of cumulative frequencies and number of fatalities per year from 2008 to 2012, for all 24 administrative subdivisions of Karachi, using ArcMap 10

Figure 1 shows all 24 administrative subdivisions of Karachi, and the number of fatal victims of RTCs in each.

Figure-2 shows how all 24 administrative subdivisions divided and grouped in three maps.

All other administrative subdivisions show varying levels of RTC fatality trends by year.

In this study GIS was used to quantify and visualize the spatial distribution of RTC mortality and yearly trend from 2008 to 2012, for all 24 administrative subdivisions of Karachi.

However, there were differences in the number of fatalities each year, during the study period, in administrative subdivisions of Karachi.
