service-places
service-places is the service responsible for validating and clustering civic and institutional infrastructure. Its primary role is to filter raw civic data to retain only regional-grade facilities — hospitals, universities, and major transport hubs — ensuring that GIS tier rankings reflect institutional-level concentration rather than local-service density.
Filtering Thresholds
The service applies attribute-weight filters to the raw civic data provided by service-fs:
- Regional hospitals: minimum capacity threshold (50+ staffed beds).
- Regional universities: minimum enrollment threshold (1,000+ full-time equivalent students).
- Airports: validated as major regional transport hubs; general aviation facilities are excluded.
Spatial Aggregation
Large institutional campuses frequently appear in raw open geospatial data as multiple separate points. service-places applies a 200 m spatial buffer to cluster these into a single regional anchor with a unified center of gravity, preventing over-counting of large campus footprints.
Data Output
The resulting cleansed-places.jsonl provides the regional anchor dataset that app-orchestration-gis uses when awarding final co-location tier rankings.
