Abstract
 Representation of Socioeconomic Indicators on Health Status in Turkey Track: Health and Human Services Author(s): Volkan Kepoglu, Nurünnisa Usul Some socioeconomic indicators are more sensitive than others for the determination of the health status in the region. The aim of the study is to identify the relationship between socioeconomic indicators and health status. Finding which indicators are more representative of the health status in Turkey will help the decision makers locate and distribute health facilities in a more reasonable way. The study shows the differentiation of the areas which are underserved or overserved by the health services. The spatial part of the study is based on two different areas: one looks for the location of a hospital in the province, such as a health sector at the overall country and the other looks for the location of a health station within the neighborhood of the province.
