Abstract
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are becoming useful and important tools for making strategic decisions whenever reliable data on spatial distribution are found, finding suitable sites for educational areas is important, as schools located in a strategic and safe area play an important role in building up students' skills in the future. The objective of the present work is therefore to firstly evaluate the educational services in Nasiriyah city in its regional context and to suggest educational services in the city of Nasiriyah in its regional context and to suggest long-term options for their development.Secondly, it aims to outline the measures necessary to ensure the orderly development of the expansion of educational needs within urban limits, and to provide for the Spatial analysis for education services in the city. The Geographic Information System (GIS) has been implemented as a multi-criteria spatial analysis tool. Results with some of the implemented standards based on (GIS) using ArcGIS 10.3 Network Analyst (Service Area) tool and Excel Office as statistical software.

The development of Geographic Information System (GIS), spatial analysis and computer technology become an uncomplicated assignment for planners
This research will includes two parts to results: The first part of the results is the results of the statistical analysis that found: 1- Through the surveys conducted for the numbers of kindergartens and schools, it was found that there is a clear weakness in the numbers compared to the population census of the city, where the actual number reached: kindergartens (12), primary schools (315) and secondary schools (113(. 2- After taking the international requirements for the planning of educational services into account, the city needs: (159) kindergartens, (229) primary schools and (57) secondary schools. 3- Research studies have shown that one school or kindergarten building has more than one period for students, which reduces the school building's efficacy
The second type of the results is the results of the spatial analysis: 1- Spatial analysis processes for the distribution of educational services, used the distance factor for the analysis, and the results were as follows: The distribution is very poor for kindergartens, given their small numbers, the distribution to primary schools was very good and the distribution to secondary schools was somewhat acceptable. 2- Depending on the standards and tools used in GIS, we notice that some neighborhoods have overcrowding in schools at the expense of some neighborhoods that lack schools or a clear shortage in them
Summary
The development of Geographic Information System (GIS), spatial analysis and computer technology become an uncomplicated assignment for planners. Spatial analysis aims to identify the most appropriate spatial pattern for future site location according to specify requirements and preferences of some activities[1].GIS used to understand, analyze, and manage data spatially. It started with the purpose of creating digital maps, it quickly became a valuable tool in the decision making process for various educational services[2]. Providing educational facilities by the government does mean developing schools, and includes other services. These services involve developing a transportation network such as roads, adequate classrooms, sufficient number of teachers and good planning strategies[4]
