Abstract

With the deepening of aging, pension institutions have gradually become the focus of research, and the reasonable distributions and locations of pension institutions have great impact on their own functions. Taking Henan Province as the study area, the spatial distribution characteristics of pension institutions are analyzed by the nearest neighbor index method and the kernel density estimation method, the accessibility of pension institutions with a single service radius and its influencing factors are analyzed by improved potential model and two-step floating catchment area method. The results are that: (1) the pension institutions in Henan Province generally show the characteristics of “central cohesion-denseness in the north and sparseness in the south”, and have the trend of development in marginal areas. (2) The spatial accessibility of pension institutions decreases from northeast to southwest, positively affected by economy, public service, per capita income of residents and negatively impacted by the elderly population. (3) The improved potential model is more suitable to evaluate the spatial accessibility of pension institutions in Henan Province.
