Mapping the Spatial Accessibility of Riau’s Health Facilities using QGIS

Abstract

In this study, we try to map the health facilities’ spatial accessibility in Riau Province, Indonesia. Access to proper health facilities is a determinant factor in a country’s development. There are some problems in establishing and developing health facilities; one of them is the health facilities' accessibility during disaster hazards. Therefore, the health facilities' location will be related to common disaster hazards, such as forest wildfire and floods. We use QGIS software to help in building and analyzing the spatial accessibility with the final web application that can be used as a supporting tool for decision-makers.
