Outline of Final Research Achievements	The aim of this study was to examine validity of emergency medical care in terms of arrival time in a rural area using Geographic Information Systems and medical records. Our results showed estimated arrival time from fire stations in this area, and suggested that future actions are needed to deal with lack of accessibility to emergency medical care, especially mountainous places in this area.
