The Analysis of Urban Medical Facility Accessibility Based on GIS - Take Wuchang District of Wuhan City for Example

Article Preview

Abstract:

Accurate evaluation of the spatial distribution of medical facility accessibility is a prerequisite for the rational allocation of medical resources. Based on the researches on the accessibility of medical space from home and abroad,using 2SFCA and the law of gravity,along with the application of geography information system (GIS),this paper analyzes the accessibility of medical facility in Wuchang District of Wuhan City.
