A GEOGRAPHICAL STY ON THE SPATIAL ISTRITION OF ASIC ECATION SCHOOLS IN SINGAING TOWNSHIP, MANALAY REGION
Abstract
- This research work emphasizes on the spatial distribution of basic education schools in Singaing Township. It is focused on the facts of topographic conditions, age structure, the distribution of population, number of students and basic education schools. Although the western two-thirds of Singaing Township is flat plain, the rest located in the eastern part is the continuation of Shan Highland. Moreover, the study area is an agricultural region, and , lakes, weirs and canals are mostly found. For these conditions, there are many physical barriers that can impact on students. So, the followings were laid down as the research questions. (1) What is the spatial distribution pattern of basic education schools in Singaing Township (2) How far the students have taken to travel to attend for their basic education (3) Where is it necessary to allocate new school or to upgrade the existing school To answer the above questions, both spatial (location) and attribute (function) data with regard to basic education schools are collected by field survey. Necessary data are obtained from various government offices. In this study, the numbers of basic education schools with their respective students are recognized in (2016-17) Academic Year. Then, their spatial distribution patterns are analyzed by using spatial statistical analysis, especially point density analysis and buffer analysis. As a result, the villages which have no primary school (BEPS) and the middle schools (BEMS) that need to upgrade into high school (BEHS) could be observed.
