Accessibility Analysis of Hospitals Medical Services in Urban Modernization

Published: 15 October 2020 Publication History

Abstract

The construction of medical infrastructure is a significant part of urban modernization. The accessibility of medical resources reflects the ability to respond and decentralize control in emergency management of public health emergencies. An improved gravity model is used to evaluate the accessibility of urban medical services based on the hospital and population distribution in a typical metropolis, and conducts a spatial analysis of control areas of urban public health emergency management, so as to identify risk points and propose improvements.
