Abstract
It is essential to prioritise the protection of children and employees in primary and secondary schools in the City of Novi Sad is essential to ensure the sustainability of a healthy society. This study employs Network Analysis methodology in ArcGISPro to explore spatial connectivity and analyse service accessibility in the City of Novi Sad, focusing on emergency medical services, police, and fire departments. By utilizing tools such as Service Area and Location-Allocation, the study assesses the coverage and response times of these vital services. Data from ArcGISOnline, geofabrik.de, and geosrbija.rs are processed to identify optimal service locations and address spatial challenges. The results reveal spatial disparities in service coverage, particularly in outlying settlements, necessitating the establishment of new facilities to improve accessibility. The proposed locations for emergency services and police stations aim to enhance response times and coverage, addressing critical gaps identified through spatial analysis. The study underscores the importance of spatial planning and data-driven decision-making in providing optimal public services while acknowledging the need for comprehensive data collection and ongoing analysis to adapt to evolving spatial dynamics and service demands. The findings of the study indicate the need for emergency medical services in settlements including Kać, Čenej, Budisava, Begeč, Futog, Kisač, and Stepanovićevo, while fire stations are required in settlements of Ledinci and Bukovac. Additionally, a police station is required only in the settlement of Kovilj.

Summary
Protecting children and employees in primary and secondary schools is a high-priority factor for the development of society. Public services (emergency medical service, fire service, police) in the city of Novi Sad should be able to adequately and quickly resolve potential problems in educational institutions. The biggest obstacles to solving the problem are the distribution of traffic infrastructure, speed limits on roads, and increased motorisation in cities, which slow down the resolution of this socio-geographical issue (Yu et al, 2020). The result of the analysis aims to find suitable locations for a new public services that could effectively and promptly respond to social problems re-. 2. In what time frame is it possible for the public service to adequately respond to an urgent request in primary and secondary schools in the City of Novi Sad? 3. What are the socio-geographical factors that influence the slower response of public service? What is the solution? How many buildings (which services) need to be built?
