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 ...

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 ...

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.

Abstract Current quantitative measures of job accessibility rarely consider the interaction between job opportunities and labor force, and the effects of dynamic travel mode choice. Drawing upon multiple open-source datasets, we develop a job accessibility index by extending the two-step floating catchment area method (2SFCA).

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.

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.

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.

Applied Energy, 2012
Abstract Traditional energy planning methods emphasize the total energy supply equaling to the total demand and neglect details of the distribution in energy demand and supply within a region or city. An improved two-step floating catchment area (2SFCA) method is developed to reflect internal heterogeneity in energy demand and/or supply and address ...
