Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the population in the city of Surabaya has decreased. The city of Surabaya is included in the top 10 districts/cities with the highest cumulative number of deaths and the highest death rate per 100 thousand inhabitants. The widespread use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and technological developments in obtaining, recording, and collecting spatial data can be utilized to solve current problems. The purpose of this study is to develop a geographic information system for the coverage of health facilities for residential areas in the city of Surabaya. The first stage is to identify the location points for the distribution of COVID-19 health facilities and residential areas, analyze the reach of COVID-19 health facility services, and analyze the service coverage of settlements to the services of COVID-19 health facilities.
