abstract="Urbanization has been a flourishing process in a wide range of developing countries. The planning and construction of public service facilities is a crucial component of  this process. Existing planning methods of public service facilities focused on  macroscopic indicators like population and GDP. In this way, accessibility and  transportation conditions were neglected. Four typical counties in China were  selected as samples where travel surveys and questionnaire surveys on public service  facilities were conducted. Taking education and medical care as representative  public service facilities, this study used geographic information processing to  connect the locations of public service facilities at all levels with the urban land  accessibility. Then, analysis of variance was used to obtain correlations between  the level of public service facilities and the urban land accessibility. The results  showed that the urban land accessibility of locations of public service facilities  follows a normal distribution. Categories of facilities showed significant  difference on urban land accessibility. Therefore, intervals of urban land  accessibility of locations of public service facilities within one standard  deviation from the mean were constructed by category. These intervals built a  connection between transportation conditions with locations of public service  facilities. Corresponding relation of carbon emission of facility-related trips and  urban land accessibility was established as an example of an application. Carbon  emissions caused by facility-related trips can be reduced by locating facilities at  locations with appropriate urban land accessibility.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
