Using the central urban area of Tianjin as the research area, this paper used the Gaussian-based 2-step floating catchment area method (Ga2SFCA), combined with multi-source data, and comprehensively considered public medical, natural, and physical resources to evaluate the SDM of single-category and integrated public health resources in the research area. The results showed the following: (1) there was a good fit between supply and demand for public medical and natural health resources in Tianjin\u2019s central urban area. For public physical health resources, there was a poor fit between supply and demand; the population in the supply insufficient and scarce areas for 82.78% of the total and was mainly distributed in the marginal areas of the four districts around the city and the six districts of the inner city. (2) For integrated public health resources, the degree of SDM was generally good. It had a circular structure that gradually shrank from the core to the edge. In order to promote the supply\u2013demand balance of urban public health resources, this paper proposed three strategies involving three aspects: the supply, accessibility, and demand of urban public health resources. These strategies involve the service supply level, urban traffic network and slow traffic, development intensity, and population scale.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijgi12040156","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,6]],"date-time":"2023-04-06T08:41:52Z","timestamp":1680770512000},"page":"156","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Evaluation of Supply\u2013Demand Matching of Public Health Resources Based on Ga2SFCA: A Case Study of the Central Urban Area of Tianjin"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Xiaoyu","family":"Guo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Architecture, Tianjin University, Tianjin 300072, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Suiping","family":"Zeng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Architecture, Tianjin Chengjian University, Tianjin 300192, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8701-4808","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aihemaiti","family":"Namaiti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Architecture, Tianjin University, Tianjin 300072, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jian","family":"Zeng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Architecture, Tianjin University, Tianjin 300072, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"14","DOI":"10.1016\/j.healthpol.2009.08.002","article-title":"Regional inequality in health and its determinants: Evidence from China","volume":"94","author":"Fang","year":"2010","journal-title":"Health Policy"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e13491","DOI":"10.2196\/13491","article-title":"How Resource Scarcity and Accessibility Affect Patients\u2019 Usage of Mobile Health in China: Resource Competition Perspective","volume":"7","author":"Ye","year":"2019","journal-title":"JMIR mHealth uHealth"},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"34","DOI":"10.1016\/j.landurbplan.2013.09.006","article-title":"Using participatory GIS to measure physical activity and urban park benefits","volume":"121","author":"Brown","year":"2014","journal-title":"Landscape Urban Plan."},{"key":"ref_4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"653","DOI":"10.1016\/j.amepre.2016.12.008","article-title":"Domain-Specific Physical Activity and Mental Health: A Meta-analysis","volume":"52","author":"White","year":"2017","journal-title":"Am.
