“…What distinguishes this group of studies was the attempt to promote health services through site planning, investigate their recipient's properties, and analyze barriers that affected the efficiency and effectiveness of health services. Of these important studies are: Schneider (1967), 13 Bashhur and Scott (1970), 14 Abernathy and Hershey (1970), 15 Calvo and Marks (1973), 16 Hetzel (1978), 17 and Brvida and Wan (1981). 18 2.…”

Objective: This study aimed at shedding light on the health centers in the Health Directorate of Amman, Jordan. That is, it explained the spatial analysis of the primary health centers in order to show the quantitative and qualitative spatial distribution of the existing health centers in the study area, analyze the spatial variation of the characteristics of the health centers, and introduce some recommendations allowing decision makers to make the optimal use of these health centers.Methods: This study adopted the inductive approach for the special and statistical properties of health services. The community consisted of all official health centers in the Health Directorate of Amman. There are 58 health centers that are comprehensive, primary, or secondary. The study used the appropriate statistical equations and methods appropriate to answer its specific questions. Results:The study concluded that there is a lack of medically qualified and specialized staff in the majority of health centers, and there is a considerable variation in the pattern of distribution of health centers in general. That is, the spatial distribution is concentrated to some urban areas. Besides that, the concentration ratio of health services indicates that the concentration ratio of the recipients of health services is not balanced with the concentration ratio of doctors.

“…Par contre, l'étude de Michael Dear (1977) indique le contraire. Cet auteur, s'inspirant largement de la conceptualisation de Schneider (1967), suggère que, d'une façon générale, la demande en services de santé mentale est influencée par trois types de variables : 1) les caractéristiques de la clientèle, 2) les caractéristiques des services fournis, et enfin, 3) la localisation des services.…”

La validité du choix du facteur «géographique» comme principe d'organisation des services de soins psychiatriques d'urgence est étudiée à partir d'une analyse de la littérature scientifique d'une part et d'une analyse des données montréalaises d'autre part. Les auteurs ne s'entendant pas sur l'importance à accorder au facteur géographique de la distance entre le consommateur et les services fournis, cette recherche tente de vérifier deux hypothèses : 1) il y a une réponse structurée à l'offre des services d'urgence psychiatrique des hôpitaux de Montréal et 2) la répartition géographique des usagers qui se présentent à ces services est liée à trois variables dont la plus importante est la distance spatiale entre le patient et la ressource d'urgence la plus proche. L'étude tend à confirmer ces deux hypothèses.The validity of using a «geographic» criterion as the organizing principle for the provision of emergency psychiatric services is examined both from the standpoint of the scientific literature on the subject and through a quantitative analysis of Montreal - based data. Given the lack of agreement as to the relative importance of distance between the consumer and the supply of services, the analysis attempts to test two hypotheses : 1) that there is a spatially structured response to the supply of emergency psychiatric services provided by Montreal hospitals and 2) the geographical distribution of the users of these services is linked to three variables of which the most important is the spatial distance between the patient and the closest emergency services. The study tends to confirm both hypotheses
