School planning is the main role of local
education administrations, and is related to providing
fairness in education. This paper uses GIS technology to
analyze the distribution of rural primary schools in a
mountainous county of China. Analyzing population, school
distribution, relevant education resource databases, and
combined altitude map, allowed us to calculate the spatial
accessibility of every administrative village in the county.
The main evaluation factors for school distribution are
spatial accessibility, fairness, and efficiency. Using a spatial
accessibility index, we constructed a Gravity Model and an
Improvement Gravity Model to explore the spatial
distribution of rural schools. Through our analysis, we
found there were differences in regard to education
resources, school distribution, and spatial accessibility in
Zhenyuan County, where our study was conducted. In some
villages, the education resources are inadequate, some
villages the distance to school is too far, more than half of
the villages were poorly for the accessibility to school. We
suggest that when school adjustments are being made,
instead of merely considering efficiency alone, fairness
should also be taken into account. Providing rural students
with a school near their home is the most suitable and
beneficial situation for rural families.
With the advance of urbanization and family planning
policy, some rural student transfer to urban areas and
rural school-age populations have decreased. As a result,
many schools in rural areas have been reduced to just one
teacher or have been closed entirely. Such schools are
mainly distributed irregularly in mountainous areas, with
poor quality teaching, high operating costs, and low
economies.
