Nowadays, the rapid increase of cities’ population and the lack of balanced development of urban services, reduces the level of citizens' use of urban facilities and services.
Regarding the importance of health in the society, measuring the potential accessibility to the health care services at the level of hospitals is the subject of this study. To measure the accessibility, three methods of 2-Step Floating Catchment Area (2SFCA), Enhanced 2-Step Floating Catchment Area (E2SFCA) and 3-Step Floating Catchment Area (3SFCA) have been implemented in two time periods of 2006 and 2016. The basis of these first two methods are supply and demand while in the third one, the competition between the suppliers is also taken into account.
The results revealed the inequality in accessibility of both urban blocks and neighborhoods to the hospital services for two sections of study which are 2006 and 2016. On the other hand, the accessibilities were improved from 2006 to 2016 by all of the three methods’ results. There is also expected differences between the results of three methods, as the results of 3SFCA method shows the lowest accessibility in compare with the two other methods.
The results of this research shows that despite of the improvement of hospital capacities in the city during ten years of study, inequality is observable across the urban blocks and neighborhoods. The strategy for reducing these inequalities and improving the spatial justice is to increase the number of hospitals or to enhance the street network in areas of poor accessibility.
