However, South Korea continues to experience a shortage of childcare facilities, resulting in gaps in the public care system and a growing reliance on private educational resources. Ensuring spatial spaces and implementing rational planning for children\u2019s spaces have become critical tasks in building child-friendly cities. This study analyzed the accessibility of childcare facilities by housing type in Seongbuk-gu, Seoul, using the two-step floating catchment area (2SFCA) method, focusing on children residing in the district. It also evaluated whether these facilities were spatially and equally distributed. The findings are as follows. First, the overall accessibility to childcare facilities in Seongbuk-gu is limited, with significant disparities in accessibility depending on housing type. Second, the spatial equity assessment revealed high inequality indices for most facilities, particularly for those in apartment areas, which showed relatively higher levels of inequality. In conclusion, childcare facilities in Seongbuk-gu require substantial improvements in terms of both accessibility and equity. This study provides a policy framework for creating child-friendly communities and promoting equal access to care services for children by analyzing the spatial accessibility and equity of childcare facilities.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijgi14070247","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,26]],"date-time":"2025-06-26T05:53:13Z","timestamp":1750917193000},"page":"247","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Assessing Accessibility and Equity in Childcare Facilities Through 2SFCA: Insights from Housing Types in Seongbuk-gu, Seoul"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-3000-6334","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sunju","family":"Kang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Architecture, Korea University, Seoul 02841, Republic of Korea"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3178-1156","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gunwon","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Architecture, Korea University, Seoul 02841, Republic of Korea"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"73","article-title":"How Accessibility Shapes Land Use","volume":"25","author":"Hansen","year":"1959","journal-title":"J.
