Purpose The new Italian National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) hashasve prioritised a new healthcare model that will establish the additional Community community Healthcare healthcare Facilities facilities (CHFs). The paper proposes a methodology for supporting decision- making on location of the future facilities according to new parameters that consider how proximity to healthcare benefits communities. Rethinking the spatial parameters for locating future CHFs, focusing on fragile areas, creates a novel decision support system. Design/methodology/approach The methodology is based on multifactor analysis and on Geographic geographic Information information System system (GIS) mapping to simulate the potential and risks associated with the proposed location of CHFs, focusing on territorial contexts of metropolitan cities, medium-sized cities, and Inner Areas, characterized by different fragilities. This method aims to innovate urban planning practices by updating the practice of per-capita urban planning standards and promoting implementation of the 15-minute city model. Findings The method defines new spatial parameters useful to inform the appropriate location of CHFs in Italy's Inner Areas. This offers a new integrated approach to spatial design mixing urban planning and healthcare dimensions. Originality/value The methodology will bring about an integrated urban planning approach, which guides both transformative urban choices and health services' implementation according to the needs of communities.

Abstract
Purpose The new Italian National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) hashasve prioritised a new healthcare model that will establish the additional Community community Healthcare healthcare Facilities facilities (CHFs). The paper proposes a methodology for supporting decision- making on location of the future facilities according to new parameters that consider how proximity to healthcare benefits communities. Rethinking the spatial parameters for locating future CHFs, focusing on fragile areas, creates a novel decision support system. Design/methodology/approach The methodology is based on multifactor analysis and on Geographic geographic Information information System system (GIS) mapping to simulate the potential and risks associated with the proposed location of CHFs, focusing on territorial contexts of metropolitan cities, medium-sized cities, and Inner Areas, characterized by different fragilities. This method aims to innovate urban planning practices by updating the practice of per-capita urban planning standards and promoting implementation of the 15-minute city model. Findings The method defines new spatial parameters useful to inform the appropriate location of CHFs in Italy's Inner Areas. This offers a new integrated approach to spatial design mixing urban planning and healthcare dimensions. Originality/value The methodology will bring about an integrated urban planning approach, which guides both transformative urban choices and health services' implementation according to the needs of communities.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
