Abstract
Estimating the cost of interview surveys is difficult but important. A geographic information system (GIS) was used to determine the shortes t time route to survey 533 medical facility locations in Perth. The re sults provided time and cost estimates for undertaking the survey and the interviewer agreed to a contract for the job on the basis of these estimates.
