This point datalayer contains the location of community health centers (CHCs) in Massachusetts. The layer was originally produced by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MA DPH) Center for Environmental Health (CEH) GIS program. The source material was provided by the Massachusetts League of Community Health Centers, a.k.a. "the League," (http://www.massleague.org). The League defines a community health center as a non-profit community-based organization that offers comprehensive primary and preventive health care, including medical, social and/or mental health services, to anyone in need regardless of their medical status, ability to pay, culture or ethnicity. The layer is named CHCS_PT. CHCs are grouped into Main and Satellite locations. Main CHCs may have one or more satellite locations (also known as access points). The MCHC_CODE item indicates affiliation between main CHCs and their satellites. CHCs vary by both the facility and/or building type in which they are located, scope of clinical services offered, and target patient population(s). The CEH GIS program used the MassGIS Hospitals, Schools, Colleges and Universities, and Prisons datalayers, and Internet Web sites in the case of homeless shelters, to derive the presence of health centers in these facilities.In 2018-19, locations for all facilities were verified and updated according to the MassGIS Master Address Database. Health centers known to be administrative offices are attributed accordingly. With respect to clinical services, this GIS datalayer makes no distinction among CHCs. An exception is eye care and dental service providers that are indicated in the EYE and DENTAL fields, respectively. No information regarding target patient populations is explicitly defined, though assumptions may be based on health center name and/or location. In all cases, patients seeking care should contact the CHCs directly to verify availability of clinical services, hours, etc., rather than rely on the information contained in this GIS datalayer, as such information is subject to change.

This dataset helps to investigate the Spatial Accessibility to HIV Testing, Treatment, and Prevention Services in Illinois and Chicago, USA. The main components are: population data, healthcare data, GTFS feeds, and road network data. The core components are: 1) GTFS which contains GTFS (General Transit Feed Specification) data which is provided by Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) from Google's GTFS feeds. Documentation defines the format and structure of the files that comprise a GTFS dataset: https://developers.google.com/transit/gtfs/reference?csw=1. 2) HealthCare contains shapefiles describing HIV healthcare providers in Chicago and Illinois respectively. The services come from Locator.HIV.gov. 3) PopData contains population data for Chicago and Illinois respectively. Data come from The American Community Survey and AIDSVu. AIDSVu (https://map.aidsvu.org/map) provides data on PLWH in Chicago at the census tract level for the year 2017 and in the State of Illinois at the county level for the year 2016. The American Community Survey (ACS) provided the number of people aged 15 to 64 at the census tract level for the year 2017 and at the county level for the year 2016. The ACS provides annually updated information on demographic and socio economic characteristics of people and housing in the U.S. 4) RoadNetwork contains the road networks for Chicago and Illinois respectively from OpenStreetMap using the Python osmnx package. The abstract for our paper is: Accomplishing the goals outlined in “Ending the HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) Epidemic: A Plan for America Initiative” will require properly estimating and increasing access to HIV testing, treatment, and prevention services. In this research, a computational spatial method for estimating access was applied to measure distance to services from all points of a city or state while considering the size of the population in need for services as well as both driving and public transportation. Specifically, this study employed the enhanced two-step floating catchment area (E2SFCA) method to measure spatial accessibility to HIV testing, treatment (i.e., Ryan White HIV/AIDS program), and prevention (i.e., Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis [PrEP]) services. The method considered the spatial location of MSM (Men Who have Sex with Men), PLWH (People Living with HIV), and the general adult population 15-64 depending on what HIV services the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends for each group. The study delineated service- and population-specific accessibility maps, demonstrating the method’s utility by analyzing data corresponding to the city of Chicago and the state of Illinois. Findings indicated health disparities in the south and the northwest of Chicago and particular areas in Illinois, as well as unique health disparities for public transportation compared to driving. The methodology details and computer code are shared for use in research and public policy.

Market Dynamics of LiDAR Services Market

Key Drivers for LiDAR Services Market

Rising Construction Sector is Driving Market Growth

The size and complexity of engineering and civil construction operations around the world have expanded dramatically to accommodate an ever-increasing population, particularly in developing countries. Technology is increasingly vital in all stages of construction, from surveying and mapping to project feasibility analysis. LiDAR technologies provide a precise and simple scan of large areas. Furthermore, laser scanners powered by global positioning systems and very sensitive cameras help engineers conduct precise feasibility studies and create designs that match project requirements. This has led to the expansion of several LiDAR service providers.

The increasing use of LiDAR-based UAVs drives the market

LiDAR maps the earth's surface with rapid laser pulses. The expanding usage of LiDAR-based unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) offers new surveying applications that can be accomplished at a lower cost than traditional approaches. The widespread use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has boosted airborne LiDAR-based surveying and mapping applications. Unmanned vehicle-mounted LiDAR systems provide not only mobility and agility but also the capacity to reach terrain and circumstances where humans cannot. Professionals are increasingly turning to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for low-altitude photography, terrain mapping, and surveying.

Restraint Factor for the LiDAR Services Market

Cost Considerations

Cost considerations are a significant limitation on the LiDAR market, preventing widespread adoption across numerous industries. Despite major advances in LiDAR technology, the cost of producing high-quality LiDAR sensors remains a substantial obstacle, especially for enterprises and industries with limited budgets. The numerous components and precision engineering required for LiDAR systems add to their high production costs. In industries such as agriculture, urban planning, and environmental monitoring, where cost-effectiveness is critical, the affordability of alternative sensing technologies presents a competitive challenge to LiDAR adoption. Industries researching LiDAR integration frequently face the challenge of reconciling the technology's evident benefits with the financial repercussions of its use.

Impact of Covid-19 on the LiDAR Services Market

The Covid-19 epidemic appears to have wreaked havoc on the LiDAR services sector. Initially, it slowed the market due to supply chain disruptions, project delays, and lower expenditures in new technology. Many construction and automotive companies which use LiDAR services extensively, experienced a temporary drop in demand. However, as the epidemic spread, the necessity for contactless and remote sensing technology such as LiDAR grew. Industries implemented LiDAR technology to monitor social distancing, automated processes to reduce human touch, and increased overall safety precautions. As a result of this shift in demand, the LiDAR services market regained momentum. Introduction of the LiDAR Services Market
