In this paper, it is described a simulation system using artificial agents integrated with Geographical Information Systems (GIS) that helps to understand the spatial and temporal behaviour of a epidemic phenomena. The present model is inspired by a Site Exchange Cellular Automata [5] , which considers two phases for each time step: movement and infection, assuming there is no virus transmission while the individual is moving. Based on these regions, four ranges of movement were considered: neighbourhood, intra region, inter region and small world. The Small World movement simulation (Fig. 15 ) presents a totally different distribution of population. The movement should always be considered in human epidemics models. ./cache/cord-007129-qjdg46o9.txt ./txt/cord-007129-qjdg46o9.txt
