Spatial accessibility of medical services in central urban area of Hefei City based on GIS
Equitable allocation of urban medical facilities and the provision of balanced health services are cru-cial for enhancing the quality of life of residents.In the case of Hefei's central urban area,this paper compre-hensively evaluated the accessibility and balance of urban medical facilities under different time thresholds by using GIS technology and improved potential model method under various travel modes,combined with Gini co-efficient and four-quadrant screening methods,and put forward suggestions for optimizing the medical service space in the central urban area of Hefei.Results indicate that the accessibility of medical facilities in the cen-tral urban area of Hefei varies significantly,with a general pattern of central concentration and periphery dis-persion.By identifying and analyzing the areas with lower accessibility,it is recommended to improve the Xing-lin Street Community Health Service Center,resulting in significant improvements in both accessibility and service efficiency.
