Various methods are used to measure geographic accessibility, including:
Distance-Based Measures: These involve calculating the physical distance from a population's location to healthcare facilities. Network analysis can be employed to determine the shortest path via roads or public transport routes. Travel Time: Travel time is often a more relevant measure than distance, as it considers both infrastructure and the mode of transportation. Geographical Information Systems (GIS): GIS technology is widely used for mapping and analyzing accessibility, providing visual representations of spatial accessibility patterns.
