为了改善老年人神经外科急诊医院的地理可达性，我们为日本札幌的一家新的神经外科急诊医院制定了几个替代选址计划。医院、人口数据、路线和用于层次分析法计算的数字信息被输入地理信息系统。两两比较显示，四项准则的权重分别为：医院病床供应量为0.674;最短路缐的最长道路距离为0.169; 3公里半径内的长者人口为0.101;最短路缐的道路距离中位数为0.056。拟议的替代方案可以覆盖医院3公里半径内的4000多名老年人。地理信息系统和层次分析法的整合构成了一个强大的工具，用于分析中等城市的交通状况，并建议城市规划，以改善中风的预后。
To improve the geographical accessibility of neurosurgical emergency hospitals for elderly people, we developed several alternative site plans for a new neurosurgical emergency hospital in Sapporo, Japan. Hospitals, population data, routes, and the numerical information for the Analytic Hierarchy Process computations were input into a Geographical Information System. Pairwise comparison revealed the following weights which were assigned to each of the four criteria: 0.674 for availability of hospital beds; 0.169 for the maximum road distance of the shortest routes; 0.101 for the elderly population within a 3-km radius; and 0.056 for the median road distance of the shortest routes. The alternative proposed could cover 4000 more elderly people in the 3-km radius of the hospitals. The integration of Geographical Information Systems and the Analytic Hierarchy Process constitutes a powerful tool for analysing traffic conditions in mid-sized cities and for suggesting city planning to improve prognosis of stroke.
