Traditional Chinese medicine hospitals in Guangzhou:spatial distribution characteristics
Objective To study the spatial distribution characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine hos⁃ pitals in Guangzhou. Methods We collected statistical data on traditional Chinese medicine in Guangzhou as well as data from the government′s official website. Kernel density analysis,Tyson polygon,Average nearest neighbor analysis and Ripley′s K function were used to describe and analyze the spatial distribution characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine hospitals. Results Thenearest neighbor ratio was Ann = 0.85,Z = -1.68,P = 0.09; The ObservedK value is significantly smaller than the ExpectedKvalue and the confidence interval is narrow. Conclusion When only the spatial location is considered,the distribution of TCM hospitals in Guangzhou is weak aggregation;however,when the population weight is increased,the distribution becomes discrete.
