Variable catchment sizes for the two-step floating catchment area (2SFCA) method

Health & Place, 2012
Government efforts designed to help improve healthcare access rely on accurate measures of accessibility so that resources can be allocated to truly needy areas. In order to capture the interaction between physicians and populations, various access measures have been utilized, including the popular two-step floating catchment area (2SFCA) method ...

Supply-demand adjusted two-steps floating catchment area (SDA-2SFCA) model for measuring spatial access to health care

Social Science & Medicine, 2022
Spatial accessibility to health care plays a vital role in the evaluation of medical resource equality. A widely used method of spatial accessibility is the Two-Step Floating Catchment Area (2SFCA) method. However, the 2SFCA model (and its later variants) implicitly assumes that each doctor has the same attraction (unlimited resources) to care seekers ...

A commuter-based two-step floating catchment area method for measuring spatial accessibility of daycare centers

Health & Place, 2015
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.

An Extended Kernel Density Two-Step Floating Catchment Area Method to Analyze Access to Health Care

Environment and Planning B: Planning and Design, 2014
In 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.

An enhanced two-step floating catchment area (E2SFCA) method for measuring spatial accessibility to primary care physicians

Health & Place, 2009
This paper presents an enhancement of the two-step floating catchment area (2SFCA) method for measuring spatial accessibility, addressing the problem of uniform access within the catchment by applying weights to different travel time zones to account for distance decay. The enhancement is proved to be another special case of the gravity model.

Evaluation of access to health care in rural areas using enhanced two-step floating catchment area (E2SFCA) method

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 ...

A multi-mode Gaussian-based two-step floating catchment area method for measuring accessibility of urban parks

Cities, 2020
Abstract Parks play a vital role in promoting urban livability and public health; however, the traditional accessibility mode neglect non-spatial factors and spatial equity, Thus, it has significant theoretical and practical implications to explore parks accessibility using more sophisticated accessibility models, under the framework of spatial ...
