Accessibility in Hambantota

The goal was to analyze the accessibility to hospitals and maternity facilities in the Hambantota district, Sri Lanka, by bus.

The project was raster-based, and the accessibility was measured by the least cost path. Every raster cell contains a friction value, which combines road type, slope, water bodies, and the target (hospitals with or without maternity).
