GIS-Based Suitable Site Selection and Road-Map Preparation for Equitable Distribution of Secondary Schools, Amhara Region, Ethiopia

TARGET GROUP: HIGH SCHOOLS

OBJECTIVES

·        To select suitable sites for high school construction and prepare 10 years road-map plan for the equitable distribution of secondary schools in Amhara Region, Ethiopia, for analysis by the Multi-Criteria Analysis Method (MCAM) using Arc GIS software and GIS models.

SUMMARY

The application of GIS for suitable site selection for high schools adds a new dimension to the existing school site selection modelling using GIS. This project work also indicates that GIS can serve as a support tools in suitable site selection processes for construction of new high schools in mapping of each constraints and factors, combination of different constraints, combination of different factors, combination of overall constraints output with overall factors(overall suitability evaluation), identification of school sites having an area greater or equal to 3 hectares, stratification of sites in order of urgency, clustering of out puts, generation of centroids of the sites in X-Y Coordinates, produce final road maps and presentation of GIS outputs for decision makers.
