Spatial Modeling for Analyzing Health Services in The Hail City, By Using Geographic Information Systems and Remote Sensing Tech.

The study aims to use geographic information systems (GIS) to evaluate the geographical distribution of health service sites in the city of Hail. The study also aims to use geographic information systems to identify the extent of application of selecting current health service sites in the study area in accordance with recognized local standards using the spatial suitability model. Which is available in ArcGIS geographic information system software. The study relied on building an applied model to evaluate the current situation of health service locations at the neighborhood level of the study area. An applied model was also built to suit the selection of ideal locations for health services and to come up with digital maps that support the decision maker. The study also relied on the data available from the field study due to the inability to obtain data on health service locations from the Ministry of Health. The spatial data was processed with the ArcGIS program, where the data provided a spatial database for building a spatial suitability model, and calculating some of the geostatistical parameters such as: nearest neighbor and average center. Standard distance, direction of distribution, areas of influence, distribution density (kernel), service range, and intersection. Excel was also used to create some graphs and tables.
