This paper puts forward a commuter-based version of the two-step floating catchment area (2SFCA) method, which has gained acceptance in studies on spatial health care accessibility. Current implementations of the 2SFCA method are static in that they consider centroid-based night-time representations of the population.

A three-step floating catchment area method for analyzing spatial access to health services
International Journal of Geographical Information Science, 2012Gravity-based spatial access models have been widely used to estimate spatial access to healthcare services in an attempt to capture the interaction of various factors. However, these models are inadequate in informing health resource allocation work due to their inappropriate assumption of healthcare demand.

Urban Green Space Accessibility Evaluation Using Age-Based 2-Step Floating Catchment Area Method
IGARSS 2019 - 2019 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2019People of different ages are not tolerant to the same distance. Existing green space accessibility researches are often based on distance measurement, and less consideration is given to differences between different groups of people. We proposed a revised Gaussian 2-Step Floating Catchment Area Method (G2SFCAM) with age information considered to ...

Inverted Two-Step Floating Catchment Area Method for Measuring Facility Crowdedness
The Professional Geographer, 2017The popular two-step floating catchment area (2SFCA) method has been widely used in the literature to measure spatial accessibility of residents for a service. The 2SFCA method accounts for the ratio between the supply capacity and demand amount of the service as well as the complex spatial interaction between them.

An Extended Kernel Density Two-Step Floating Catchment Area Method to Analyze Access to Health Care
Environment and Planning B: Planning and Design, 2014In Portugal the distribution of physicians is considered an appropriate proxy for the distribution of the actual hospital resources and additional information on hospital supply is mostly unavailable, while health care utilization data are also usually absent.

Journal of Transport Geography, 2016
The study concerns with the quantification of accessibility to health facilities which is a prime concern in rural areas. In order to assure access to health care, planning commissions and policy decision makers require definite and reliable measures of accessibility values, thus that appropriate health care shortage areas can be analyzed and a policy ...

Using a GIS-based floating catchment method to assess areas with shortage of physicians
Health & Place, 2004This paper presents a geographic information system (GIS) based floating catchment method for identifying physician shortage areas. The traditional designation methods are primarily regional availability measures, which use administrative boundaries such as counties as the basic spatial units for calculating physician to population ratios and designate
