Spatial analysis of pharmacy network of the island Krk

Osnovni predmet istraživanja ovog rada je ljekarnička mreža otoka Krka, njena organizacija i distribucija ljekarni u prostoru. Analizom geografskih (lokacijskih) i demografskih kriterija ustroja ljekarničke mreže dobiven je uvid u njenu efikasnost i mogućnosti njenog poboljšanja na otoku Krku. Ljekarne su kartirane metodom geokodiranja koja je temelj svih urađenih prostornih analiza. Za neke prostorne analize korištena je metoda buffera u ArcGIS-u.The basic subject of this paper is pharmacy network of the island Krk, its organization and distribution of pharmacies in the region.
