  • The application of subjective and objective method in the evaluation of healthy cities: A case study in Central China

    2021, Sustainable Cities and Society
    Citation Excerpt :

    Besides, we calculated the HCI by integrating indicators in different aspects thus eliminating the one-sidedness. Our results indicate a reasonable and credible assessment, that is consistent with the actual situation in practice―the construction level of a healthy city is generally the same as that of a hygienic city, because Hygienic City project lays the foundation for Healthy City project in China (Xu, Yang, Zhang, & Gong, 2016); a sensitivity analysis further proved the comprehensive index evaluation method to be acceptable. Moreover, our result is generally following other studies (Zhong, 2011; Zong, 2016).

  • Incorporating multiple travel modes into a floating catchment area framework to analyse patterns of accessibility to hierarchical healthcare facilities

    2019, Journal of Transport and Health
    Citation Excerpt :

    In China, the acceleration of urbanization and the excessive centring of the population in urban areas have placed enormous pressure on the provision of medical resources and the functioning of the healthcare system (Dong and Phillips, 2010). Hence, since 2009 and the new medical reform, the Ministry of Health has actively explored feasible policies; in particular, establishing a hierarchical diagnosis mechanism and improving the treatment of referral systems are viable solutions to these issues with healthcare provision (Xu et al., 2016; Yang et al., 2018). Specifically, to meet different patients’ demand for treatment, various tiers of healthcare facilities undertake corresponding diagnosis or treatment tasks based on their specialized function and service capabilities.
