A Service District Analysis on Health Care Facilities in a Local City of Korea

摘要

This study analyzed the medical service levels of pediatrics, gynecology, and oriental clinic in Jeju-si, which is a local city of Korea. As a result of the density analysis and the nearest neighbor analysis, it was found that all three medical treatments showed the clustered aspects and the deviation of areas was severe because medical facilities were concentrated in the commercial centers. In addition, it analyzed LQ coefficient in consideration of population number and doctor number in different districts (dongs) to conduct a level analysis of medical services in dongs. Therefore, the level analysis of medical services can provide crucial data for setting up measures to solve the regional deviation of medical services which occurs in small and medium-sized cities in South Korea.
