Description

This research examines community accessibility to the YMCA facility for the Greater Mankato area. This study also attempts to map service area of the YMCA. For this study, membership datasets for the YMCA are geocoded and analyzed with Geographic Information System (GIS). Distribution of the YMCA membership shows how far people are willing to travel to use the YMCA. The result indicates that distinct individual accessibility patterns exist. The research also provides policy makers an opportunity for future planning and development initiatives.
