In this paper, Gupta and Shriram present the findings of an investigation to understand the vulnerability of the population in Birla Institute and Technology and Science, Pilani (BITS) campus from the vector borne diseases spread through climate, temperature, precipitation, wind and ocean currents, human population movement and physical circulation. A digital map of BITS campus is generated with plotting components like hostels, institute, staff quarters, wells, market places and others.
The research resulted into GIS layouts that provide data on populations at risk, catchment area, forecasting of outbreaks. Detection of vulnerable regions that are prone to these vector borne diseases became easier through this mapping.
