| Abstract | ||
| The increased rates of urbanization have resulted in doubling the number of schools in in the city randomly, which resulted in building schools lacking the most appropriate standards required like being fit with the convenient environmental and health conditions or being away from natural and human dangers, because of the great abilities that the geographic information systems gives which help in finding the most appropriate solutions and making the best decisions, especially with regard to processing and analysis of spatial information. Thus, the current research aims at using GIS in assessing the current status of school sites in all stages of primary intermediate and high school, according to a set of natural, human and social standards. As well as the employment of GIS to document the locations of the current distribution of schools in the city to produce digital maps of sites and the pattern of distribution of schools subject to update, then it suggests amending some of the sites according to the degree of suitability criteria in research. To achieve these aims, the research depends on the data available at the directorate of education in wassit, in addition to the field survey to identify the location of schools accurately using GPS and updating the data available. The research finds the existence of concentration in the distribution of schools which is concentrated in some regions, random in others or regular in others. In general, this distribution may not reflect a situation similar to the distribution among all regions in the city. | ||
