In this context, based on a knowledge-based model, a normalized landscape-based hazard index (NLHI) was established at a local scale, using a 10 m spatial resolution forest vs. non-forest map, landscape metrics and a spatial moving window. Such an index evaluates the contribution of landscape to the probability of human-malaria vector encounters, and thus to malaria transmission risk. Since the knowledge-based model is tailored to the entire Amazon region, such an index might be generalized at large scales for establishing a regional view of the landscape contribution to malaria transmission. Thus, this study uses an open large-scale land use and land cover dataset (i.e., the 30 m TerraClass maps) and proposes an automatic data-processing chain for implementing NLHI at large-scale. First, the impact of coarser spatial resolution (i.e., 30 m) on NLHI values was studied. Second, the data-processing chain was established using R language for customizing the spatial moving window and computing the landscape metrics and NLHI at large scale. This paper presents the results in the State of Amap\u00e1, Brazil. It offers the possibility of monitoring a significant determinant of malaria transmission at regional scale.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/data2040037","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,11,3]],"date-time":"2017-11-03T04:43:13Z","timestamp":1509684193000},"page":"37","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Regionalization of a Landscape-Based Hazard Index of Malaria Transmission: An Example of the State of Amap\u00e1, Brazil"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"2","author":[{"given":"Zhichao","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Ministry of Education Key Laboratory for Earth System Modeling, Department of Earth System Science, Tsinghua University, Beijing 100084, China"},{"name":"ESPACE-DEV, UMR 228 IRD\/UM\/UR\/UG, Institut de Recherche pour le D\u00e9veloppement (IRD), 500 rue Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Breton, Montpellier 34000, France"}]},{"given":"Thibault","family":"Catry","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ESPACE-DEV, UMR 228 IRD\/UM\/UR\/UG, Institut de Recherche pour le D\u00e9veloppement (IRD), 500 rue Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Breton, Montpellier 34000, France"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0526-3531","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nadine","family":"Dessay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ESPACE-DEV, UMR 228 IRD\/UM\/UR\/UG, Institut de Recherche pour le D\u00e9veloppement (IRD), 500 rue Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Breton, Montpellier 34000, France"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4250-6742","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Helen","family":"Da Costa Gurgel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geography, University of Brasilia, 70910-900 Brasilia, Brazil"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1032-6966","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cl\u00e1udio","family":"Aparecido de Almeida","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute for Space Research (INPE)\u2014Image Processing Division, Av. dos Astronautas, 1758, 12227-010 S\u00e3o Jos\u00e9 dos Campos, Brazil"}]},{"given":"Christovam","family":"Barcellos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Scientific and Technological Communication and Information in Health (ICICT), Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (FIOCRUZ), Av.
