اختيار الموقع الأمثل لإنشاء مجمع تعليمي بين المراكز و الهجر في منطقة المدينة المنورة

Abstract EN

Population increase has led to doubling the number of schools, especially in villages and small cities, which has resulted in the establishment of schools that lack appropriate educational standards and have weak operational efficiency and educational outcomes, in addition to high financial waste.

In this study, geographic information systems were used to build an analytical model to select the best sites that meet specific conditions and criteria for the establishment of several educational complexes within the Medina region.

This research was based on the Descriptive analysis approach, where the process of building a geographical database was completed for 562 small schools; further, Model Builder was used to find the best suitable sites for educational complexes based on several criteria to achieve a state of spatial balance of population density and service areas.

Network analysis was then used to calculate the access period and then calculate and describe the reality of public spending (financial cost) and compare it with the cost of educational complexes.

This study concludes that 47 educational complexes were assigned in the medium region to build complex schools, which is suitable for all in terms of ease of access.

A discrepancy and shortage in schools for school stages in villages has also been observed; therefore, the establishment of educational complexes in medium regions presents a solution for this problem.
