“…However, it is also suitable for many broader measures of spatial-physical access with strong demand dependence. For example, in retail (Dai and Wang, 2011;Chen, 2017;Chen 2019), education and labour markets (Dai et al, 2018) or urban planning (Xing et al, 2018).…”

Abstract. The planning of health care facilities and the analysis of the medical care situation are complex topics that generally involve geographical and, specifically, settlement topographical, methodological, data-driven aspects. However, formal analyses and planning in the field of healthcare usually only touch on the aspects or do not fully include some of them. As a result, the complex situation is often not accurately. This paper addresses the multidimensional challenges planners and analysts face. Solutions to overcome these hurdles thanks to improved data availability and more advanced technical and methodological possibilities are presented. For this purpose, a Web-Application is proposed that enables planners without GIS knowledge to interact with method components via parameter adjustments. Subsequently, it is examined whether the technical prerequisites for the implementation of a Web-Application for health planning, in particular for outpatient demand planning and analysis, are given and make a proposal for implementation. Finally, the advantages, disadvantages and possible complications of using this Application in health planning and analysis, including critical points of implementation, will be addressed.

“…Fire disasters are one of the most significant global disasters that seriously threaten public safety and social development [1,2]. A total of 10,815 fire fatalities occurred and caused 15,193 deaths between 2007 and 2016 in China (http://www.china-fire.com). With the acceleration of urbanization, fire incidents have become increasingly frequent and complex [3].…”

“…Spatial accessibility refers to the availability of and proximity to public services, while the tendency of individuals to choose public services is referred to as non-spatial accessibility [9][10][11]. Many methods have been developed to quantify spatial accessibility, such as the proximity to the nearest facility [12], regional availability methods [13], and the gravity model [14], while the two-step floating catchment area (2SFCA) method is one of the most widely used approaches [15][16][17]. The 2SFCA method was first proposed by Radke and Mu [18] and considers the facility capacity, potential demand, and travel impedance between demand and service facilities, as well as the maximum service coverage area, to evaluate the spatial accessibility of public services.…”

“…In past decades, the original 2SFCA method was extended in three groups [20]: (1) variable or dynamic 2SFCA using different catchment sizes [16,21], (2) three-step FCA using the competition of supply and demand [22], and (3) multi-modal or commuter-based 2SFCA using transport modes [23,24]. A large number of these modified versions have been applied to measure spatial accessibility in various public services, such as health care [25][26][27][28][29], green spaces [17,30,31], food stores [32,33], job opportunities [15], and emergency shelters [34].…”

Measuring Spatial Accessibility of Urban Fire Services Using Historical Fire Incidents in Nanjing, China

The measurement of spatial accessibility of fire services is a key task in enhancing fire response efficiency and minimizing property losses and deaths. Recently, the two-step floating catchment area method and its modified versions have been widely applied. However, the circle catchment areas used in these methods are not suitable for measuring the accessibility of fire services because each fire station is often responsible for the fire incidents within its coverage. Meanwhile, most existing methods take the demographic data and their centroids of residential areas as the demands and locations, respectively, which makes it difficult to reflect the actual demands and locations of fire services. Thus, this paper proposes a fixed-coverage-based two-step floating catchment area (FC2SFCA) method that takes the fixed service coverage of fire stations as the catchment area and the locations and dispatched fire engines of historical fire incidents as the demand location and size, respectively, to measure the spatial accessibility of fire services. Using a case study area in Nanjing, China, the proposed FC2SFCA and enhanced two-step floating catchment area (E2SFCA) are employed to measure and compare the spatial accessibility of fire incidents and fire stations. The results show that (1) the spatial accessibility across Nanjing, China is unbalanced, with relatively high spatial accessibility in the areas around fire stations and the southwest and northeast at the city center area and relatively low spatial accessibility in the periphery and boundary of the service coverage areas and the core of the city center; (2) compared with E2SFCA, FC2SFCA is less influenced by other fire stations and provides greater actual fire service accessibility; (3) the spatial accessibility of fire services is more strongly affected by the number of fire incidents than firefighting capabilities, the area of service coverage, or the average number of crossroads (per kilometer). Suggestions are then made to improve the overall spatial access to fire services.
