Portugal and Spain share one of the greatest European borderland areas. This fact has direct impacts on a large territory and consequently on the communities’ living in it. Still, even if the border areas represent an essential fraction of the territory, planning policies have not resulted in specific cooperation programs that could enable sharing general leisure and recreation assets and infrastructures and collaboration in critical domains—i.e., the case of the health sector. The present study aims to assess the territorial accessibility to the hemodynamic rooms by the potential population of the Spanish-Portuguese transition areas that may suffer an acute myocardial infarction. Contextually, this study employed a spatial interaction model based on the three-step floating catchment area method (method-3SFCA). By applying these methods, it was possible to develop a map of accessibility to health infrastructures equipped with hemodynamics rooms on both sides of the border that may answer the Spanish-Portuguese border populations’ needs. Besides, while granting valuable information for decision-makers regarding the need to develop new infrastructures to guarantee that even considering cross border cooperation, everyone gets access to a hemodynamics room within the critical intervention period.

评估葡萄牙-西班牙边境配备血流动力学室的卫生资源：作为可能解决方案的跨境合作战略

葡萄牙和西班牙共享欧洲最大的边境地区之一。这一事实对大片领土产生直接影响，从而对居住在其中的社区产生影响。尽管如此，即使边境地区代表了领土的重要组成部分，规划政策也没有产生可以共享一般休闲和娱乐资产和基础设施以及关键领域合作的具体合作计划——例如，卫生部门的情况。本研究旨在评估可能患有急性心肌梗塞的西班牙-葡萄牙过渡地区的潜在人口对血流动力学室的地域可达性。在上下文中，本研究采用基于三步浮动集水区方法（方法 3SFCA）的空间交互模型。通过应用这些方法，有可能绘制出边界两侧配备有血流动力学室的卫生基础设施的可及性地图，以满足西班牙-葡萄牙边境人口的需求。此外，在为决策者提供有关开发新基础设施的必要信息的同时，即使考虑跨境合作，每个人都可以在关键干预期内进入血流动力学室。
