AB - Physical accessibility to the library can be the most important variable to the users. In particular, public libraries have to provide various services that are distributed equally to all as a basic right. The objective of this study is to investigate the spatial distribution of the public libraries and their users in Gangwon province on the regional scale and identify its main characteristics and trends using geographical information systems (GIS). GIS is used to measure accessibility to public libraries services in terms of both factors of supply and demand. This study presents a multivariate analysis of the effects of supply-side factors (e.g., seating capacity, collection size of books, reading, and cultural programs for community) and demand-side factors (e.g., population). Analysis indicates that there are significant differences between rural and urban areas in accessibility for library services in Gangwon province. The results could be used to assist the public library planning and development authorities to understand the spatial distribution of public libraries and to prioritize sites where public library should be developed in order to improve the accessibility for library services in the study area.
