Abstract:
Objectives To analyze spatial disparities in urban living service facilities based on supply and demand service levels, we not only detect the spatial distribution characteristics of facilities, but also gain in-depth insights into the underlying causes of these differences.
Methods This paper specifically focuses on Jianghan district in Wuhan city and conducts a case study by using the food market as a representative facility. The analysis involves constructing spatial disparity in accessibility of services (SDAS) index to assess the disparities between the supply and demand of life service facilities. Subsequently, SDAS is optimized by an improved gravity model based on the road traffic network and income levels of residents.
Results The results show that most community units in Jianghan district exhibit a high level of disparity between supply and demand, with notable differences observed in Wangjiadun central business district. The service capacity of life service facilities around communities significantly influences SDAS value under various conditions. The multi-mode case provides a more comprehensive reflection of the spatial differences between the facility accessibility and the needs of community units, offering a nuanced view of the actual situation.
Conclusions The results contribute to shaping city structure and facilitating optimal allocation of life service facility resources. It can provide scientific basis for layout optimization of public facilities in urban area.
