Analisis Pola Persebaran dan Keterjangkauan Fasilitas Kesehatan Kawasan Perkotaan Di Kabupaten Minahasa Utara

Abstract

Healthcare facilities play a crucial role in maintaining community welfare, including handling
accidents. Throughout 2023, there were 148,307 recorded accidents in Indonesia, with a significant
increase in North Minahasa Regency, reaching 399 cases from 301 cases in 2022. This regency is
rapidly developing, with the population increasing from 200,217 people in 2017 to 229,368 people in
2022, and built-up areas expanding from 3% in 2011 to 10% in 2019. This growth underscores the
urgent need for adequate and accessible healthcare facilities, especially considering its strategic location
between Manado City and Bitung City, which increases traffic and accident risks. The methods used in
this study are spatial and descriptive. Spatial methods include Nearest Neighbour Analysis to identify
the distribution pattern of healthcare facilities, as well as Buffering and Network Analysis to determine
healthcare accessibility. Descriptive methods are used to explain the results of the spatial analysis. The
study results show that the distribution pattern of healthcare facilities in North Minahasa Regency is
random. Each sub-district already has healthcare facilities, although they are not evenly distributed. In
terms of accessibility, Kalawat, Airmadidi, and Kauditan sub-districts are well-served and have quick
travel times to healthcare facilities. Conversely, Kema sub-district is not fully served and has relatively
long travel times.
