Abstract
The widespread and balanced distribution of health and medical services is a core element in constructing a fair health service system. Moreover，elderly population is the main population of basic community healthy patient. Using Beijing as a case study, this research employs Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to integrate the minimal facility site model and minimal impedance model, aiming to delve deeply into the locational optimization design of community health service facilities across Beijing. Based on the distribution of the elderly population density，the research methodology encompasses data collection, an assessment of the existing medical development status, and GIS analysis, offering a comprehensive understanding of the distribution and locational characteristics of community health service centers, and further examining the relationship between their service coverage and community needs. By focusing on the Dongcheng and Xicheng districts as specific cases, this study proposes optimization recommendations concerning the siting and quantity of community health service centers in Beijing, with the hope of providing insights for promoting balanced distribution and accessibility of community medical institutions in the city.
