Medieval Bologna was a vibrant and dynamic city with hundreds of artisans, craftsmen, students, government officials (and other professionals), as well as animals, all sharing the same streets, neighborhoods, and waterways. As this paper will show, medieval officials were highly concerned with keeping their city and its environs, safe and healthy, and devoted significant amounts of time and resources to achieve these goals. Using Bologna as a case study, this article maps in GIS over one hundred regulations from the city’s urban statutes from 1245-67, to examine public health strategies. In doing so, it will demonstrate that medieval officials in Bologna employed a spatial logic as they created health regulations and oversaw the construction and maintenance of infrastructure. This spatial logic was grounded in an understanding of movement and an awareness of how, where, and when people, animals, goods, water, and waste moved through the city. In this way, the knowledge of space and movement were critical aspects of public health strategies which officials deployed to maintain a healthy and working city.

中世纪的博洛尼亚是一座生机勃勃、充满活力的城市，拥有数百名工匠、工匠、学生、政府官员（和其他专业人士）以及动物，他们共享相同的街道、社区和水道。正如本文将表明的那样，中世纪的官员高度关注保持城市及其周边地区的安全和健康，并投入了大量的时间和资源来实现这些目标。本文以博洛尼亚为案例研究，在 GIS 中绘制了该市 1245 年至 67 年城市法规中的一百多项法规，以研究公共卫生策略。在此过程中，它将证明博洛尼亚的中世纪官员在制定卫生法规并监督基础设施的建设和维护时采用了空间逻辑。这种空间逻辑植根于对运动的理解以及对人、动物、货物、水和废物如何、何地以及何时在城市中流动的认识。通过这种方式，空间和运动的知识是官员们为维持健康和运转的城市而部署的公共卫生战略的关键方面。
