Identifying pharmacy gaps: a spatiotemporal study of multimodal accessibility throughout the day
This study underscores the importance of addressing both temporal and spatial factors to ensure equitable accessibility to community pharmacies. The findings suggest the need for targeted policies to improve public transport services during off-peak hours and to extend pharmacy operating hours. Future research should focus on comparative studies across different urban contexts and incorporate more granular data to better understand accessibility to urban services.
