Abstract
Equal distribution of health institutions is important in the daily life of the population, and each population structure should have optimal access to health institutions. Spatial and attribute data on health institutions in the area of the City of Dubrovnik were taken from the websites of the Croatian Health Insurance Fund, the Croatian Chamber of Pharmacists and the Open Data Portal of the Republic of Croatia. Demographic data were taken from the websites of the Croatian Bureau of Statistics as well as obtained from the Dubrovnik-Neretva County Police Administration. Based on the collected data, a geoinformation system (GIS) of health institutions of primary health care, that is general medicine practices, dental health care practices, preschool health care practices, women’s health care practices and pharmacies, and demography was created. After processing the data, analyses of the spatial distribution and spatial accessibility of health institutions were conducted, and maps were made on the basis of which conclusions were drawn.
