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 ...

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.

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 ...

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.
