The
barangay indices are plotted using GIS tools and
technology. Maps are made for the individual
indicators, the composite indices and the
over-all poverty index.
Five intervals were used
in the maps to reflect the situation of the
municipalities. Two intervals with ranges 0-49 %
and 50-99% represented the performance of the
municipalities whose conditions were better than
the provincial values. The 100-149% range
included the municipalities with performance no
better than or slightly poorer than the
provincial condition. Similarly, the ranges
150-199 % and 200-699% indicated poorer
performance of the municipalities.
The lower values were
represented by darker shades of green and the
higher values were presented by lighter shades,
thus a darker shade of green portrayed a better
situation than the lighter shades of green. The
figure below illustrates the map of the
malnutrition in Zamboanga Peninsula in
2005. The municipalities with malnutrition relative to the whole province were shaded
with dark green, whereas those with poorer peace
and order were represented with light green.
