Hide Your Distance: Privacy Risks and Protection in Spatial Accessibility Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Measuring spatial accessibility to healthcare resources and facilities has long been an important problem in public health. For example, during disease outbreaks, sharing spatial accessibility data such as individual travel distances to health facilities is vital to policy making and designing effective interventions. However, sharing these data may raise privacy concerns, as information about individual data contributors (e.g., health status and residential address) may be disclosed. In this work, we investigate those unintended information leakage in spatial accessibility analysis. Specifically, we are interested in understanding whether sharing data for spatial accessibility computations may disclose individual participation (i.e., membership inference) and personal identifiable informa
