Analysis tools:
Network analysis (service area)
Overlay operation (intersect or equivalent)
Statistics (summary statistics)

3. Study area Oslo and Akershus

4. Make sure extension is activated

5. 1. Population downloaded from www.ssb.no/geodata/

6. 2. Emergency hospitals

7. 3. Road network Ready made for analysis Provided by NMA/PRA
If you do not have a
network dataset
then you must create it
based on road features:

8. New service area

9. Right-click «service area» in ToC

11. Right-click facilities and «load locations»

12. «Solve» to start the analysis

13. Next step: Overlay Intersect Identity Spatial join
Select layer by location

14. How to combine «service area» with population grid – knowledge gained from GEOSTAT 1B:

15. Summary statistics
Use the «summary statistics» tool to extract statistics
