摘要: The article assesses the equity and efficiency of spatial distribution of basic public health service facilities in the metropolitan area of Nanjing. The results show that the spatial distribution of public health service facilities is generally in disequilibrium within the Nanjing metropolitan area. In particular, it demonstrates a significant variation in spatial distribution across districts. Districts located in the central parts have a relatively higher level of equity and efficiency and show positive spatial correlations amongst themselves. However, equity and efficiency differ in urban fringes and rural areas.本文评估南京市基本公共卫生服务机构空间分配的公平性和效率。结果显示南京的公共卫生服务机构分布不均衡。研究特别显示了不同城区空间分配存在显著差异。靠近市中心的城区公平性与效率程度相对较高，且显示出空间正相关。而城市边缘地区和农村地区的公平性和效率则有所不同。 KEYWORDS: Equity, efficiency, spatial distribution, Nanjing Metropolitan AreaAdditional informationFundingThis work was supported by Humanity and Social Science Foundation of Ministry of Education of China [18YJC630049], the Key Project of Philosophy and Social Science Research of Higher Education Institutions in Jiangsu Province [2017ZDIXM098], the National Natural Science Foundation of China [51408318], and the Fundamental Research Funds for the Central Universities [SKYZ2018034].Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.
