equitable service coverage across the city Emergency centers services of 122 are among the essential services that must be provided to meet the needs of all members of society. Duhok city has witnessed rapid growth in both size and population, which has greatly impacted the balance between the efficiency and distribution of emergency centers of 122 in the city. This study aims to evaluate the efficiency of emergency centers in Duhok based on time criteria using Network Analysis. Zone services of these centers were identified using spatial analysis methods within a Geographic Information System (GIS) environment, employing the Service Area method. Additionally, the served residential units were identified using the Location Allocation technique. The study concluded that the spatial distribution of emergency centers in the city are a significant imbalance, indicating that some areas are underserved compared to others, ensuring optimal distribution and site selection for Emergency Centers 122 is essential to achieve
