Abstract
This investigation aimed to discover spatial analysis of drug cases in the responsibility area of Muang Nakhon Pathom Police Station. The data on drug cases between 2013 and 2017 were collected. The purposes of this study were: 1) to examine the pattern of drug cases using Moral's I, 2) to investigate the spatial distribution of drug cases using hot spot analysis based Getis-Ord Gi*, 3) to find out the directional distribution of drug cases using standard deviational ellipse., and 4) to explore the spatial relationship between drug cases and physical factor. The results of the study were as follows: 1) The pattern of the cases over 5 years was clustered according to Moran’s I value, which was discovered at 0.31, 0.34, 0.27, 0.24, and 0.17, respectively; 2) the spatial distribution of cases revealed hotspot areas with a GiZscore greater than 1.65 were discovered at Phrapathom Chedi and Huai Chorakhe districts in 2013 and 2014, Phrapathom Chedi, Wang Takoo, and Sanam Chan districts in 2015, Phrapathom Chedi Huai Chorakhe and Bo Plab district in 2016 and Sanam Chan district in 2017; 3) the directional distribution of the cases over 5 years were distributed to the west of the study area; and 4) urban and built-up land was discovered where most drug cases occurred.
