Bachground: Distribioution of disease location based on geographic information system (GIS) is considered as an infrastructure in the field of health in formation managment and also known as a fundamental issue in the field of new tachnologies in police medicine. The aim of this article is Distribution reviews of some infectious diseases based on geographic information system in the area of Chahar Mahal and Bakhtiari. Materials and Methods: This exploratory study was done in Chahar Mahal and Bakhtiari province. The first step of the study was determination of the base spread of infectious diaseases and their geographical location by using GPS. to provide digital databases they were transfered to the computer. By applying the entity relationship and also the model, infectious disaese databases was designed in GIS and spatial analysis for contagious disease and their distributions in province was done by using ArcGIS 9.3 soft ware. Finally, the digital maps were produced. Results: Raised infectious diseases was found affecting factors on the environmental distribution, types of prevalent contagious diseases in province status of station related to distribution of disease was determined. The distribution of infectious diseases and its relation with other health components was designed in GIS and the numeral maps with the scale of 1:4,000,000 were provided. The zoning of common infectious diseases in Chahar Mahal and Bakhtiari province was found. Conclusion: GIS in zoning infectious diseases, acted as monitor for disease distribution in different geographic regions. The focus of health managers of Chahar Mahal and Bakhtiari to the distribution of disease based on GIS are essential to WEBMASTER.
