Sustainable Urban Distribution of Educational Institutions and Population Density in Baghdad City Using Remote Sensing Techniques

Abstract

Urban planning include the creation of strategies as well as the management of metro regions, municipalities, and cities. In this study, the importance of applications of remote sensing and GIS in urban planning will be studied. The distribution of educational destitution cases in cities will be considered. A study area (Baghdad city) will be adopted, and the spatial analysis of the distribution will be according to population densities. In this study, the focus was on the importance of the sustainable distribution of urban educational institutions and the spatial appropriateness of this distribution according to the study areas and the available information. Distribution maps were prepared according to the densities for the number of schools and population densities, and tables were also prepared for the age density of students as well as the preparations of teachers in these areas that were adopted in this study. The data collection was based on the GIS atlas. The spatial analysis will be done to illustrate and measure the correction coefficient between the numbers of schools teaches centers in the adopted area. The results showed that some areas of Karkh and Rusafa have sufficient numbers of schools, while others suffer from a lack of such schools. These areas were mapped based on spatial analysis data, and a proposed map was drawn for educational institutions such as schools of all kinds (secondary, middle, and primary). The proposed school distribution map will be done according to population density. After stowing and performing a spatial analysis of the distribution of education institutions in the study area and collecting data on population densities, we suggest a new spatial distribution by adding the numbers of other schools that fit with the need, population density, and number of students.
