Inverted Two-Step Floating Catchment Area Method for Measuring Facility Crowdedness

The Professional Geographer, 2017
The 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.

Spatial accessibility in suboptimally configured health care systems: A modified two-step floating catchment area (M2SFCA) metric

Health & Place, 2013
The floating catchment area (FCA) family of metrics employ principles from gravity-based models to incorporate supply, demand, and distance in their characterization of the spatial accessibility of health care resources. Unlike traditional gravity models, the FCA metrics provide an output in highly interpretable container-like units (e.g., physicians ...

Using the variable two-step floating catchment area method to measure the potential spatial accessibility of urban emergency shelters

GeoJournal, 2021
As a public service facility that provides relief, resettlement, and evacuation services to disaster-affected people, emergency shelters play a vital role in helping people cope with disaster events. The measurement of spatial accessibility of existing emergency shelters is a key task in improving emergency shelter services and minimizing property ...

Measuring spatial accessibility to primary care in rural areas: Improving the effectiveness of the two-step floating catchment area method

Applied Geography, 2009
Abstract Quantifying spatial accessibility in relation to the provision of rural health services has proven difficult. This article critically appraises the two-step floating catchment area (2SFCA) method, a recent solution for measuring primary care service accessibility across rural areas of Victoria, Australia.

Socioeconomic characteristics and crash injury exposure: A case study in Florida using two-step floating catchment area method

Applied Geography, 2017
Abstract The objective of this study is to investigate the exposure of different population groups to severe injury crash hotspots using an empirical-Gaussian two-step floating catchment area (EG-2SFCA) method based on roadway network distances and a socioeconomic-based weighting approach.

On the Modifiable Areal Unit Problem (MAUP) in healthcare accessibility measurement via the two-step floating catchment area (2SFCA) method

Health & Place
The widely used two-step floating catchment area (2SFCA) method for healthcare accessibility measurement might be biased due to the Modifiable Areal Unit Problem (MAUP), which remains unknown. This study calculates and compares healthcare accessibility via the Gaussian-based 2SFCA method at various spatial scales to identify the scale effects.

Optimizing two‐step floating catchment area for green space accessibility and equity: Is mountainous green space more age friendly?

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences
AbstractGreen spaces provide leisure opportunities for older adults, who require high accessibility to such spaces. Improving the equity of green space accessibility will help support the attainment of Sustainable Development Goals. However, existing analyses of accessibility to green spaces have not considered the socioeconomic disadvantages of ...
