Abstract :

Not only the Urbans differentiates from the other residential units in terms of density of population, social, culturel and economic activities but also they have higher risk against the all kind of danger because of this features. Available risks have increased when combined with the structural features of urbans and urban troubles, belongs to residental units, like geographic, phisycal, socio-economic, cultural features; rapid and irregular urbanization, squatters. One of the problems that comes with the urbanization is not regular expansion of the health services in the whole urban. The biggest reason is the developing urban areas and regeneration occured at the urban tissue. For serving the 112 ambulance service of the health services in a regular way required to know the domains and locations of the stations of 112 ambulance. In this study, it has been aimed that querying the service areas of 112 ambulance stations in the Isparta and determining the optimum route of the ambulances to reach the incident scene with the Geographic Information Systems (GIS). In the study, 1/5000 scaled reconstruction map belongs to Isparta urban centre based tool digitized with coordinating according to the UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator) Projection Syste. Locations of formal and informal health enterprices serves 112 ambulance service in the working area of about 20 km2 as determining with the Meridian Platinium manuel GIS marked on the digital maps belongs to Isparta. For every station marked on the digital map database at level of querying the capasity of the health center prepared with ArcGIS 9.0 software. Voronoi Polygons created according to the capasity of the health center and determined the optimum domains of stations. Also created network topology of digital route map belongs to Isparta urban centre and determined optimum routes for ambulances according to the various scenarios through Network Analyse Modulus of ArcGIS 9.0 software. As a result of these questioning and analyses suggested that creating the new 112 ambulance station points in the required territories.
