Abstract

The distribution of pharmacies in Indonesia is still becoming a problem. Pharmacies are
 mostly available around healthcare facilities such as hospitals, service providers, trade
 centers, transportation facilities, and main roads. The study aims to describe the distribution
 profile of pharmacies based on Geographic Information System (GIS) analysis and to study the
 relation between pharmacy distribution profiles with the number of consumer visits and
 prescriptions. The study is conducted in 27 sub-districts in Banyumas Regency, Central Java
 using Arc Gis 3.10.2 Software. Pharmacy profile, the number of consumer visits, and
 prescriptions at the pharmacy are obtained by distributing research questionnaires to
 pharmacists. The results showed that the distribution of pharmacies in the Banyumas Regency
 was still dominant in urban areas, which reached 55%. The average distance of pharmacies
 was 2.34 km. The research results on the distribution pattern of pharmacies in 27 sub-districts
 showed that in 3 districts (11.1%) were grouped in certain areas, in 24 other districts (88.9%),
 the pharmacies' distribution had a spread distribution pattern. The conclusion of the research
 that the distribution of pharmacies in the Banyumas Regency based on GIS visualization was
 still dominant in urban areas and especially in sub-districts around the capital of Banyumas
 Regency, Purwokerto. Based on the study, there was a relation between the average distance of
 pharmacies and the number of healthcare facilities on consumer visits. There was a relation
 between pharmacy density, population density, and the number of healthcare facilities with the
 number of prescriptions.
