Analysis of campus locations concerning the nearby point-of-interests and public facilities

Abstract

University is a place where knowledge is disseminated. The objective of this study is to see the close relationship between campus locations and public facilities in the vicinity. QGIS Desktop software is used to manage, process, and visualize spatial data. PostgreSQL and PostGIS are used for the process of querying data based on specified proximity criteria. The analysis shows that several public facilities are generally found close to a campus location.Fifteen identified class features in one-kilometer proximity, which grouped as transportation facilities, food service facilities, financial facilities, shopping facilities, other educational facilities, accommodation facilities, offices, and worship facilities. As well as indications of spatial interaction between campus locations.All campus locations are in areas with residential land use status.Raster Kernel Density Estimation (KDE) shows campus locations clustered in two main locations, namely the Jakarta Greater Area and in the Greater Bandung Area.
