Registries are among the oldest methods used in public health for epidemiological surveillance and decision making in the area of communicable diseases. Although other sources of data are now available in many developed countries, registries still provide important information. This article reviews the main aims and characteristics of modern registries, providing several examples of current epidemiological problems. Practical advantages and disadvantages of registries are also discussed, as well as some developmental perspectives in this area.

En este artículo planteamos una aproximación a la idea de espacio público como articulador del conjunto de acontecimientos que intervienen en la vida de las ciudades. Entendemos este fenómeno como una red poliédrica y multidimensional, cuyo estudio pasa por el análisis de diversas problemáticas: la identificación de los límites entre espacio público y esfera pública; la conformación del espacio público construido; la aproximación teórica al fenómeno desde la contemporaneidad; la dimensión social del espacio público; y finalmente la perspectiva de la gestión de las ciudades. Todas estas dimensiones expresan una mirada crítica del objeto i ponen en valor niveles de trabajo interdisciplinar y multiescala, fundamentales para entender e intervenir en el espacio público de la ciudad contemporánea.

This project was undertaken in coordination with the Environmental Assessment process on the Mt. Vernon Road Improvements project in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The goal of the research was to determine the cost effectiveness of combined photo-imaging and computer animation as a presentation tool describing public road improvements. The Public Hearing, in combination with the involvement of a Citizen's Resource Group, afforded an opportunity to have an evaluation of the processes by interested citizens who were not familiar with engineering drawings or the construction industry. After the initial viewing of a draft version of the video, the Resource Group made recommendations to the staff developing the video. Discussion of these recommendations led to the development of an animated composite section that showed a combination of situations typically encountered throughout the project corridor, as well as critical considerations. The composite section did not show specific locations and therefore, individuals were not distracted by looking for the details pertaining to their properties. Concentration on the concepts involved rather than specifics provided the opportunity for a more thorough understanding by the citizens. The development of the composite concept was the primary discovery of the research.
