Two-step floating catchment area method
ID: two-step-floating-catchment-area-method
The Two-Step Floating Catchment Area (2SFCA) method is a spatial analysis technique used in health services research and urban planning to assess accessibility to healthcare services or other amenities. It combines the concepts of "catchment areas" (regions that a service provider can effectively reach) and "floating catchments," which allows for a more dynamic evaluation of service availability considering the proximity and population distribution around healthcare facilities.
