Location-allocation Models Applied to Urban Public Services: Spatial Analysis of Primary Care Service centers (PCSC) in the City of Luján, Argentina

Abstract

Current digital technologies and particularly the association of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) with Spatial Decision Support Systems (SDSS) have been able to generate important possibilities in the spatial treatment of information. This article discusses the advances made with respect to Location-Allocation models in the study field known as Geography of Services. It presents theoretical aspects of the analyzed problem, standardized methodological matters for its resolution with GIS+SDSS, and an application case related to the locational analysis of primary care service centers (PCSC) in the city of Luján, Argentina.
