Reassessment of the school location problem: A multifunctional role for the school in the urban environment

Abstract

Methods for determining the optimum location site for the educational plant have traditionally classified the school as unifunctional in its production activities. Rising pressures of competition for land in urban areas suggest the need for novel approaches to planning public land use for fostering higher levels of living desirability of the urban environment. National concern about the less than optimum use of social investments in educational plants can be juxtaposed to the urban land use problem.
