520 _aThis investigation is aimed to contribute the concepts and methods of the innovative development and application of Geographical Information System (GIS) and Remote Sensing regarding Malaria prevalence. Kanchanaburi province, Thailand is chosen as study area. The input data are based on the geospatial factors including climatic aspects, physical environment, socio-economic and statistical record of Malaria cases. Afterwards data preprocessing needs to be carried out, for example, data format conversion, data corrections, and so forth. Malaria cases map and information value (i-value) approach will be used in order to identify the relation between physical and social factors, and also statistical analysis will be carried out so as to define the relation of climatic factor. The final output based on those approaches is a Malaria risk map which is classified into three classes including high risk level, moderate risk level and low risk level. On the top of that, this study also develops the model based on i-values which are formed as thematic layers in GIS database and are computed using different map analysis techniques, for example, map crossing. Finally, the model can be applied as an early warning monitoring system to enhance the awareness of vector borne disease. Public health officers can employ the model to control malaria spread through factors mentioned above. Not only it is applicable in health issues, but this model also can be applied in other application fields such as disaster management, and so on
