Abstract
The importance of elderly care institutions in city public service planning has increased due to rapid population aging. This study used the point-of-interest coordinates of elderly care institutions for kernel density,hotspot analyses and Getis–Ord Gi* Analysis. The spatial distribution of elderly care institutions in Meizhou, China, was analyzed, and related hotspots were identified. Through the analysis of computer software, it can be indicated that: (i) the distribution of elderly care institutions in Meizhou City shows agglomeration characteristics, and the overall distribution shows the characteristics along residential areas, traffic arteries and commercial centers. (ii) The hot spots of nursing institutions in Meizhou City are prominent, forming two significant hot spots and almost no cold spots. The findings of this study can be used as a reference by those involved in optimizing the spatial layout of elderly care institutions in cities.Keywords
