Abstract:
Currently, the majority of medical facility evaluations are usually conducted from a single start point, such as accessibility or equality, and the accuracy of data adopted in these evaluations is relatively weak, which may mislead the consequences of evaluation. Thus, this paper harnesses a newly emerging timeliness data, POI and mobile signaling data, to comprehensively evaluate medical facilities in northwest district of Zhongshan from both accessibility and equality aspects, where accessibility is described as the coverage times of medical facilities and equality is depicted as the distribution difference between accessibility and residential. The result shows that the global accessibility and equality of northwest district are relatively optimistic with large service coverage, but there is still some unbalance of equality at local level where medical facilities service and residents distribution are mismatched. Finally, based on the evaluation results, the research units are divided into four categories and each category is given corresponding promotion strategies.
