This research details the design and development of an open source web-based Geographical Information System allowing users to visualise, customise and interact with spatial data within their web browser. The developed application shows that by using solely Open Source software, it was possible to develop a customisable web based GIS application that provides the functions necessary to convey health and environmental data to experts and non-experts alike, without the requirement of proprietary software.
