Abstract

This study examined the accessibility of emergency rooms according to the population density and distance in Daegu Metropolitan City to help improve the quality and emergency medical accessibility problems in Daegu Metropolitan City. To observe the geographical requirements, the number of population in eup, myeon, dong, available emergency, and available emergency compared to the population were mapped through the S-GIS of Statistics Korea to visualize the data based on the 3km radius. To determine the difference in accessibility to emergency rooms for each district in Daegu Metropolitan City, the data were analyzed by ANOVA and Scheffe. According to the average number of emergencies available in Daegu Metropolitan City within a 3-kilometer radius were 5.7 in Jung-gu, 5.0 in Nam-gu, 1.6 in Buk-gu, 0.4 in Dong-gu, 2.4 in Seo-gu, 0.9 in Suseong-gu, 3.5 in Dalseo-gu, and 0.1 in Dalseong-gun; there was a statistically significant difference (p<.001). The available emergency within a 3km radius and available emergency per 1,000 people were concentrated in the center. Therefore, it may be necessary to institute an urban emergency medical network by establishing a point that serves as an intermediate hub to provide emergency medical care to citizens far from the center.

본 연구의 목적은 대구광역시의 인구밀집과 거리에 따른 응급실 접근성을 분석하여 메디시티를 지향하는 대구광역시의 응급의료 접근성 문제점 개선 및 질적 수준 향상에 기여하고자 했다. 지리적인 요건을 보기 위해 3km 반경을 기준으로 읍면동 인구수와 이용가능 응급실수, 인구 대비 이용가능 응급실수를 통계청의 S-GIS를 통해 Mapping하여 데이터 시각화했다. 대구광역시 구군별 명확한 응급실 접근성의 차이를 파악하기 위해 ANOVA와 사후검정인 Scheffe을 시행했다. 반경 3km 이내 대구광역시 구별 이용가능 평균 응급실수를 보면 중구 5.7개, 남구 5.0개, 북구 1.6개, 동구 0.4개, 서구 2.4개, 수성구 0.9개, 달서구 3.5개, 달성군 0.1개였고, 유의한 차이가 있었다(p<.001). 3km 반경 이내의 이용가능 응급실수와 인구 천명당 이용 가능한 응급실수는 중앙에 집중되어 있었다. 중앙에서 먼 곳의 시민들에게 응급의료 제공을 위해 중간 허브역할을 하는 지점을 설정하여 도시 응급의료 연계망 구축이 필요할 수 있다.
