“…As banking services are quite diverse in their nature and can be provided through very different points of access (bank branches, post offices, ATMs, cashpoints) we suggest to consider all these points of access together but separate the demand by type of service (that is, cash, business banking). As bank branch, Post Office, and ATM networks are under different pressure forces to reduce their numbers, while the national coverage remains a necessity of public interest, spatial optimisation methods (e.g., Cao et al, 2020 ) should be explored in more detail and in regard to the topic discussed in this article for determining possible optimal coverage structures of these overlapping points of access to basic banking services. As stated, this study is limited to the supply side of post office-based provision of banking services, which is of great importance for the settlement of companies, future residents, and so forth.…”

Access to ‘universal banking services’ through the post office network has been a goal of the UK governments over the last twenty years. Various policies and mechanisms have been put in place in an attempt to maintain national geographical coverage with access points while increasing the financial viability of the network. One such mechanism is represented by the six official criteria for access to post offices, expressed as a percentage of the UK population living within one mile, three miles, and six miles of a post office. The method for calculating compliance with these access criteria is not published. Nor will any granular results be published, but only an annual statement that the criteria are being met. This article examines geographical and temporal access to post offices in order to understand the territorial coverage of the network and the impact this has on the provision of basic banking services. The area under investigation is Wales, for which we are reviewing the Government’s official access criteria. Through the Post Office Ltd website, we are collecting up-to-date information on the locations and opening hours of post offices in Wales. In addition, a detailed population grid is combined with calculated areas of equidistant geographical access, called isochrones, to determine the number of people who have access to the post office network. The isochrones are based on the Welsh road network and are calculated for different travel modes and thresholds using a powerful routing engine. Our results show that the official access criteria are largely unmet in Wales. In addition, and in contrast to previous studies, we show a rural-urban divide not in terms of spatial access, but in the combination of spatial and temporal access. The results are of both practical and theoretical value and will hopefully inform policy makers.

“…Li, Wang, and Yi 2017). This includes improving accessibility and equity in the education services (Cao, Li, and Church 2020). Decision-making related to the location of educational facilities must also consider aspects of environmental sustainability, such as impacts on the physical environment (Benita, Kalashnikov, and Tunçer 2021) and social as well as potential conflicts with landowners or neighboring communities (Feng et al, 2021).…”

Regional development is inseparable from the support of education facilities. Spatial disparities in education facilities' service scales occur unevenly in the Kupang city administration. Overlaying several thematic maps with Location-Allocation analysis provides a development scenario for placing education facilities. Secondary data in the form of the distribution of existing educational facilities, consisting of elementary schools, junior high schools , and senior high schools derived from Kupang City's Regional Spatial Plan (RTRW) data, road network and building distribution obtained based on Open Street Map (OSM) publications. Comparing the overall parameters, it can be recommended that the most efficient scenario that has the least positive impact and the least negative impact is the scenario with ¼ of the optimal number of new facilities for elementary and junior high schools, while for senior high schools there needs to be further consideration between the scenario with the optimal number and the scenario with ¼ of the optimal number of new facilities in Kupang City.
