GIS-Based Approach for the Analysis of Geographical Education Paths, Poland

TARGET GROUP: UNIVERSITY AUTHORITIES AND YOUNG PEOPLE

OBJECTIVES

·        To define a geographical educational path and propose a method for examining it with GIS and spatial statistics.

SUMMARY

The broad possibilities and limitations of geospatial analysis using GIS in educational research have been pointed out, especially in areas such as school choice or inequality of educational opportunities. The overall aim of the study is to propose research on the geographical educational path. For this purpose:

1. The concept of a geographical educational path was defined;

2. A group of students were selected for research.

This work is the first attempt to answer the question about the entire geographical educational path. In addition, the research allows us to determine the mobility of young people during education, as well as the range of influence of one of the faculties at the University of Lodz.
