This study aimed to use GIS to assess the current status of public primary schools located in the fifth district through the applications and methods of analysis of the Geographic Information System Program (ArcGIS 10.7.1), which is the method of analysis using Nearest Neighbor analysis, spatial analysis and distributive justice.
The study found that the state primary schools located in the fifth district have a pattern of distribution far apart in distances, as well as there is a very large overlap in the scope of influence for all schools, which indicates randomness in the choice of their places as well as indicates that there are areas within the scope of service more than one school.
The study recommended that the study move away from spontaneity in the selection of school sites and follow the foundations and planning criteria, and rely on the environmental perspective to help decision makers to identify the best areas in the selection of school locations to achieve the sustainable development goals.
