KEY CONCEPTS

Our goal is to create a map of ATM points within a district boundary and merge the datasets of ATM points with the district boundary to optimize accessibility and identify service gaps.

The Spatial Join tool helps us carry out the joining process smoothly.

This map can be used for further decision-making like Create Map, and Analyze: Optimizing Bank Branch Locations and the use of Datatables as in Online GIS Data Map Viewers and Table Visualizations

The advantage of conducting this analysis lies in its ability to pinpoint spatial patterns and disparities in ATM distribution within districts.


By understanding these patterns, policymakers and financial institutions can make informed decisions to optimize ATM placement, enhance accessibility, and promote financial inclusion effectively.

MAJOR FINDINGS

  1. Disparities in ATM Distribution: Spatial join analysis revealed significant disparities in ATM distribution across district boundaries, with certain areas with a higher concentration of ATMs compared to others.
  2. Optimal Placement Opportunities: MAPOG Map Analysis identified specific zones within districts where ATM accessibility was limited, presenting opportunities for financial institutions to strategically place ATMs and improve coverage in underserved areas.
  3. Policy Implications: These findings underscore the importance of evidence-based policymaking in promoting financial inclusion, with recommendations for policymakers to collaborate with financial institutions.
    And leverage geospatial analysis tools like MAPOG to ensure equitable access to banking services for all residents within district boundaries.

BENEFICIAL DOMAIN: Financial Inclusion and Urban Development

  1. Financial Inclusion: By identifying areas with limited ATM accessibility within district boundaries, financial institutions can strategically allocate resources to improve coverage, thereby promoting financial inclusion and ensuring that all residents have convenient access to banking services.
  2. Urban Planning: This analysis provides valuable insights for urban planners and policymakers to optimize the placement of ATMs within districts.

    These insights can inform decisions regarding zoning regulations, transportation planning, and community development initiatives to enhance the livability and accessibility of urban areas.
