The book examines an integrated approach for addressing decisions
about the location of healthcare facilities. Supported by
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Multi-Criteria Decision
Analysis (MCDA), the approach provides comprehensive information on
territory, taking into account the spatial dimensions. Due to the
multiple criteria involved, site selection for urban facilities is
a crucial topic in planning decision processes, especially for
healthcare facilities. Healthcare provision policies generally fail
to address the distribution of facilities within cities, entrusting
decisions to various stakeholders. Moreover current evaluation
tools focus on the intrinsic performances of healthcare structures,
disregarding the extrinsic characteristics, namely those related to
the location. Starting with a cross-disciplinary literature review,
the book describes a multi-methodological approach for
decision-making regarding the location of healthcare facilities,
and presents an innovative evaluation tool that simultaneously
considers functional, locational, environmental and economic
issues, providing a comprehensive overview of the areas under
investigation.
