5. Conclusion
This study highlights the effect of spatial and nonspatial
determinants of TB incidence and disease
control, particularly with regard to the way the
policies of health-care services are made. Accordingly,
non-spatial factors in terms of low socio-economic
status need for more attention by public
health policy makers, and then more focus should
be placed on the health delivery system, particularly
in men. In addition, using the GIS/GPS application
with a view to TB distribution and physical
accessibility to healthcare centers is a novel
method in Iran and it can be developed to reach
other related public health disciplines
