dc.description.abstract | Health Geography is a branch of Human Geography which has an increasing attention. The spatial analysis of health planning and distribution of health services is one of the approaches in Health Geography. Spatial analyses in Health Geography studies have revealed the inadequacies and inequalities in various geographies. The local medical clinics are significant establishments because the local patients prefer them to go first when they are ill. Kutahya is a province that is located in the Aegean Region in Turkey. The aim of this study is to describe the distribution of the local medical clinics and the structure of population in Kutahya. The data that was provided by the province health directorates in 2008 were used in this study. Also Turkey Statistical Institute (TUIK) data and the Ministry of Agriculture data were used. The geographical distribution and population structure of the local medical clinics were tried to be determined. It is significant for that to present the distribution of local medical clinics and distribution of medical staffs in Kutahya. At the end of the study, it was understood that some local medical clinics need some medical staffs. This is an example study for planning health organizations in accordance with Health Geography.
