Abstract
Geografisk Tidsskrift, Danish Journal of Geography 98: 71–80. Various spatial properties of public school districts may be assessed using location-allocation modelling tools of vector-based geographical information systems. The functionality of these tools and the requirements for a suitable digital map base is discussed initially. Subsequently, the spatial properties of school districts in selected regions of Copenhagen are established based on the actual location and capacity of public schools and the present distribution of pupils. It is shown how the consequences of suggested redistricting projects may be analysed and how ‘best solutions’ in terms of school locations, capacity and district boundaries may be pointed out. Finally, strategies for the design of transport network models that include traffic safety parameters are discussed.
