GIS-based Services Analysis and Multi-Criteria for Optimal Planning of Location of a Police Station

Abstract

Highlights• The selection of a location for a police station based on GIS. • Combining service area analysis and multi-criteria analysis is proposed for the selection of a site. • An optimal location was obtained by using a wide range of perspectives.

The Evaluation of Geographical Health Facilities Structure in Makassar City, Indonesia

“…Service area analysis shows the coverage area of the facility based on the distance to a location. The results of this analysis are health service area polygons with the main principle of access varying with impedance [ 23 ]. One effective model that can describe service areas, which was created to help cities adapt to post-COVID realities is the “15-min city”.…”

“…With the large role and function of the Makassar city, this study attempts to evaluate the geographic structure of health facilities in Makassar City so that an assessment of the effectiveness of the location of health facilities can be produced. In sustainable urban planning, finding the optimal and effective location for a facility has a crucial point for future land management [ 23 ].…”

Using a GIS service area analysis has enabled researchers to understand the resources centered around GHs in relation to ELAs, and to conceptualize the content and methods of effective daily life skills training.…”

“…A service area analysis using a Geographic Information System (GIS) is effective for showing the distribution of SPs in an ELA and identifying resources in the area. Studies using a service area analysis include an assessment of accessibility to health centers [19], accessibility to public parks for examining their usability [20,21], the appropriate location of police stations [22], and the appropriate location of fire stations in terms of fire-risk assessment [23]. Using a GIS service area analysis has enabled researchers to understand the resources centered around GHs in relation to ELAs, and to conceptualize the content and methods of effective daily life skills training.…”
