Abstract: This study produced a Multiple Deprivation Index (MDI) from census information in a rural area, north-west of the Metropolitan District of Quito (MDQ), Ecuador. The index developed uses selected socio-demographic information that represents social deprivation. First, a set of indicators was chosen, and then an Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was applied to calculate weights for each indicator. The MDI was calculated using an additive linear combination of the weighted indicators. Finally, using ordinary least squares (OLS), the index values were related to distances from each census area to the nearest health service to find relations between deprivation and distances to these kinds of services. Results showed that health services are located in less deprived areas, nevertheless no complete relation was founded between the index and distances to health services.

GIS as a technology has come a long way, from
the early adoption of technical wizardry to the
ubiquitous, if unconscious use by the masses. The
emergence of a GISociety is on its way through
technological development, theoretical and empirical
scientific research and inclusion of technology
into education with increasing pedagogical justification.
Defining new dimensions of hard- and software,
brainware and orgware are all needed to
further enhance the GISociety with new geospatial
innovations.
