A geospatial approach for site suitability and accessibility for healthcare services in Bankura district, West Bengal, India
Healthcare site selection assumes an imperative part in healthcare development and management. From part of the public authority, proper medical site selection will help the distribution of clinical assets, coordinating with the arrangement of medical care with the social and economic demands, organizing the metropolitan and rural healthcare administration advancement, and facilitating social logical inconsistencies. Site suitability analysis is a variety of analysis utilized in GIS to work out the simplest place or site for one thing. The main objective of the current study was to select a site for new healthcare services with geospatial technologies to intermix spatial and non-spatial data to create a weighted result. The current study had been done into three phases, where many processes are intermixed into a single phase. In the first phase of analysis, distance, density, and proximity were mapped to seek out poor and lower accessible areas of healthcare from existing healthcare. To selecting new healthcare sites, four-factor criteria (Buffer around road and rail, land use land cover and buffer around settlement, ) and some constrain criteria considered in the second phase of analysis. Finally, the shortest network path analysis has been done in the third phase to determine the shortest and best route from selected healthcare sites towards district medical college. The current study presents some suitable sites in the poor and inaccessible areas of the district. This study will be very helpful for the decision support system of healthcare management in the future.
