A metafrontier analysis for performance evaluation of public schools in Athens city-centre

This study aims to measure the differences in technical efficiency of technical schools and general high schools that operate in the same neighbourhood in Athens city-centre. We choose ten pairs by nearby schools in distance or co-location including one technical school and one general high school per pair. The schools were divided into two groups; ten technical schools and ten high schools. Because of the heterogeneity across two groups of schools we used data envelopment metafrontier analysis. The results indicate that the group scores are high for high and technical school and the metafronier score of technical schools is very low. The results also indicate that the meta-technology ratio of high schools is higher than meta-technology ratio of technical schools proving the need for setting clear different objectives, processes and outcomes for the two types of schools of the Hellenic Educational System. The realized correlation analysis demonstrated the relation between the inputs and the metafrontier scores. Also, by defining the strong leading group (SLG) to be the the group of the general high schools have been developed some useful theoretical approaches on the performance evaluation of schools.

Policy-Induced School Calendar Changes and Teacher Moonlighting

Secondary employment (SE) continues to be an important income source for many workers and several influences have been identified that impact engagement. This research studies two of these influences, the hours constraint and job heterogeneity preferences, by analyzing a novel short-lived crisis when California public school switch between 9-month and year-round calendars in response to school capacity constraints caused by education policy reform. This crisis immediately shifted primary employment vacation schedules of full-time teachers for approximately 4-6 school years, potentially altering the composition of SE opportunities. The empirical analysis suggests teachers increase SE engagement by 13.8% during years their schools are on year-round calendars, and no spillover effects are identified on teachers in nearby schools. The increase is entirely attributable to increases in school-based SE engagement in schools using multi-track year-round calendars, and no change in non-school-based SE engagement is observed. Males and mid-to-late career teachers’ SE engagement appears most responsive. The conclusion discusses the relative importance of workers’ SE engagement motives and how policy may impact SE engagement.

Dental caries and anthropometric measures in a sample of 5- to 9-year-old children in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

This study aimed to assess associations between dental caries and anthropometric measures among a sample of children aged 5-9years in Dhaka, Bangladesh. A cross-sectional observational study was conducted among 5- to 9-year-old children in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Data were collected from children and their parents attending the Dhaka Dental College Hospital and from three nearby primary schools. The outcome measures were as follows: age and sex adjusted height-z-scores (HAZ), weight-z-scores (WAZ) and BMI-z-scores (BAZ). Multiple linear regressions were used to assess the associations between caries and anthropometric measures, adjusted for maternal education, family income, study setting, birth weight and childhood diseases as potential confounders. The final sample comprised 788 children, and the overall response rate was 96.7%. The majority (73.2%) had experience of dental caries. The mean dmft+DMFT score was 2.84 (95% CI 2.64, 3.03) and 35.8% experienced dental sepsis. Dental caries and sepsis were negatively associated with HAZ, WAZ and BAZ scores. After adjustment for potential confounders, children with severe levels of caries had lower HAZ scores (coefficient: -0.40; 95% CI -0.69, -0.10), lower WAZ scores (coefficient: -0.59; 95% CI -0.94, -0.24) and lower BAZ scores (coefficient: -0.50; 95% CI -0.87, -0.13) than those who were caries free. Children with moderate levels of caries also had lower WAZ scores (coefficient: -0.43; 95% CI -0.72, -0.15) and lower BAZ scores (coefficient: -0.43; 95% CI -0.72, -0.13) than caries-free children. Children with dental sepsis had lower HAZ (coefficient: -0.23; 95% CI -0.42, -0.03), WAZ (coefficient: -0.33; 95% CI -0.56, -0.10) and BAZ scores (coefficient: -0.29; 95% CI -0.53, -0.05) than dental sepsis-free children. Dental caries was associated with lower height, weight and BMI among this sample of Bangladeshi children, even after adjusting for age and sex and a number of potential confounders.

Gender Bias in Parental Attitude: An Experimental Approach

Parental bias toward children of a particular gender has been widely observed in many societies. Such bias could be due to pure gender preference or differences in earning opportunities and concern for old-age support. We conduct a high-stakes allocation task (subjects allocate the equivalent of one day's wages between male and female school-aged students) in rural Bangladesh to examine parental attitudes toward male and female children. Parents, either jointly or individually, allocated freely or restricted endowments for the benefit of anonymous girls or boys at a nearby school. We examine whether there is any systematic bias among fathers and mothers and, if so, whether such bias differs when they make the decision individually or jointly. The results suggest (1) bias both for and against boys or girls but no systematic bias by either parent; and (2) no significant differences in individual and joint decisions.

Motor abilities in 182 children treated for idiopathic clubfoot: a comparison between the traditional and the Ponseti method and controls.

PurposeThe aim of the study was to examine motor abilities in children treated for idiopathic clubfoot with either the traditional extensive surgery method or the Ponseti method, and compare their motor skills with a control group without clubfoot.MethodsA total of 89 children treated according to the traditional method (mean age 9.0 years, 7 to 10) and 93 treated ad modum Ponseti (mean age 8.8 years, 7 to 10) were recruited from a multicentre clinical study in Norway. A total of 45 age-matched children without clubfoot were recruited from a nearby school. They were all assessed with the Movement Assessment Battery for Children – Second Edition (MABC-2), which evaluates motor performance. We applied Analysis of Covariance for comparison of the two treatment methods and adjusted for gender, laterality, comorbidity, achillotomy or more extended surgery, physiotherapy and the age when the child walked independently.ResultsWe found no significant difference in any of the various components or the total score of the MABC-2 between patients treated with the two different methods. In all, 76% of the children treated according to the traditional method and ad modum Ponseti, and 96% in the control group, respectively, were classified as having normal motor abilities.ConclusionAbout three-quarters of children aged nine years and treated for idiopathic clubfoot had normal motor abilities. We found similar results in patients treated with the traditional method and the Ponseti method.Level of EvidenceII

Effectiveness of a cognitive behavioural therapy-based anxiety prevention programme at an elementary school in Japan: a quasi-experimental study

BackgroundThe efficacy of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) for anxiety related problems in children is empirically supported. In addition, universal anxiety prevention programmes based on CBT have been demonstrated in recent years. The purpose of this study was to verify the effectiveness of a CBT based original programme ‘Journey of the Brave,’ aiming to prevent anxiety disorders and anxiety-related problems for Japanese children aged 10–12 years old.MethodsIntervention groups from two classes of 5th grade elementary students (n = 41) received ten 45-min programme sessions. The control group was drawn from one class of 5th grade children (n = 31) from a nearby school. All participants completed the Spence Children’s Anxiety Scale (SCAS) at pre, post, and 3 months follow-up. Mixed-effects model for repeated measures analysis was conducted.ResultsThe mean anxiety score on the SCAS for the intervention group was significantly reduced at both post intervention and 3 months follow-up compared with the control group. The group differences on the SCAS from baseline to post-test were − 5.321 (95% CI − 10.12 to − 0.523, p = 0.030), and at the 3-month follow-up were − 7.104 (95% CI − 11.90 to − 2.306, p = 0.004).ConclusionsThe effectiveness of the anxiety prevention programme ‘Journey of the Brave’ was verified though this study using a quasi-experimental design on a small sample.Trial registration: UMIN000009021

Vitamin D Deficiency in Ambulant Children on Carbamazepine or Sodium Valproate Monotherapy

To assess the effect of monotherapy with Carbamazepine (CBZ) and Sodium valproate (VPA) on serum 25-OH Vitamin D levels in children with epilepsy compared to controls. Cross-sectional study. Outpatient department of a tertiary-care Pediatric Neurology centre, and a nearby day-care centre and school. June 2012 to May 2013. Children with epilepsy aged 2 to 13 years on monotherapy with CBZ (n=28) or VPA (n=28) for at least 6 months; 109 age-matched controls from a nearby day-care centre and school. The median (IQR) values of 25 (OH) vitamin D was 18.0 ng/mL (13.7-27.3), 21.35 ng/mL (16.4 -25.2) and 30.5 ng/mL (19.1-43.7) in CBZ, VPA and control group, respectively (P= 0.008). 60.7% of patients in CBZ group and 35.7 % in VPA group had low 25 (OH) D levels (%20 ng/mL) compared to 27.8% in controls (P=0.001).The serum alkaline phosphatase level was higher in children on carbamazepine therapy (P=0.001) than controls. This study identifies significant risk of vitamin D deficiency in ambulant children with epilepsy on monotherapy with CBZ or VPA.

Living in school catchment neighborhoods: Perceived built environments and active commuting behaviors of children in China

Abstract The contribution of the current study to the existing literature of school trips is twofold. First, we estimate the proportion of children living in neighborhoods within walking-distance who actively commute to school taking into consideration the educational system policy in China of “attending nearby school”. Secondly, we identify how and to what extent the neighborhood and individual-level built environment characteristics affect the behaviour of active school traveling. We recruited 1090 children from four primary schools in Shenzhen, China. Multilevel models examined the relationship between built environments and school commuting behavior (that is, mode choice, travel time to and from, and route difference to and from school). We found the average distance to school was 575 m [min = 206 m, max = 1303 m]. Three out of four children (N = 805) lived within their school catchment neighborhoods in our study samples, of which 87% were active commuters and 6% arrived in school by their parents’ cars. For children living outside of school catchment areas (N = 285), 22% of them walked or cycled to school and 23% arrived to school by their parents’ cars. Having more gates, measured by density of neighborhood entrances, was positively associated with active mode choice. Route aesthetics greatly impacted the active mode choice. Safety was associated with different route use to and from school. Compared to children who commuted alone, children who traveled with classmates or parents were less likely to use different routes to and from school. This study highlights the importance of considering the local built environment context of school catchment planning in understanding school commuting behaviors in China.

Assessment of neurological soft signs in pediatric patients with HIV infection.

Background:Children and adolescents comprise a significant proportion of people living with HIV. The effects of HIV on the growing brain have generated interest among researchers in this field. Deficits arising during this crucial phase of neuromaturation due to HIV infection need to be assessed and addressed. Neurological soft signs (NSSs) can act as a proxy marker for underlying neuropsychological deficits. The present study aims to study the NSSs in pediatric patients with HIV and compare with healthy controls (HCs).Materials and Methods:Forty-eight children aged between 6 and 16 years diagnosed with HIV were selected by purposive sampling, and the Physical and Neurological Examination of Soft Signs (PANESS) scale was applied. Fifty children matched by age and sex were recruited from a nearby school, and the PANESS scale was applied. Children were divided into age- and gender-specific groups. The outcome scores of cases and controls groups were compared.Results:Males and females aged 13–16 years with HIV showed more soft signs as compared to HCs, with respect to gait errors, dysrhythmia, impersistence, speed of repetitive and sequenced movements, overflow with gaits, overflow with sequenced movements, total overflow, and overflow in excess of age. The differences in scores were less marked in younger age groups among both the genders.Conclusions:The persistence of NSSs in older age group in HIV-infected children may point toward the presence of HIV-associated neurological disorder.

Community outreach: An indicator for assessment of prevalence of amblyopia.

Purpose:To study the prevalence, determine the magnitude, and cause of amblyopia among the children aged 6 months to 16 years in Kamrup district, Assam, India.Methods:Among a total of 39,651 children between 6 months and 16 years of age, door-to-door screening was conducted by trained workers. For children above 5 years of age who failed to read the 6/9 line, camps were conducted in the nearby schools. Children below 5 years of age were directly referred to the tertiary eye care institute. After visual acuity assessment at the institute, cycloplegic refraction and complete ophthalmic examination were done to rule out other causes of diminution of vision. Axial length measurement and corneal topography were performed in children with high refractive errors.Results:Of the total 39,651 children screened, 469 were diagnosed to have amblyopia at the camp and 223 were diagnosed at the institute. The prevalence of amblyopia was 1.75%. Amblyopia was more common among the males (52.50%) as compared to females. Maximum number of patients were found in the age group of 11–16 (63.58%). Refractive amblyopia was found to be the most common cause of amblyopia (45.29%). In children below 5 years, deprivation amblyopia and strabismic amblyopia were more common.Conclusion:Awareness of amblyopia among the parents is essential for early detection and treatment of the disease, which will, in turn, reduce the burden of childhood visual impairment.

His mother, desperate to find Murph a school in their new town, tells the headmaster of a nearby school (labeled cryptically “The School”) she is confident he can help her son “fly.” Headmaster Mr. Souperman takes this literally, and since he’s in the business of developing kids’ superheroic Capabilities, or Capes, at his secretive establishment, he promptly enrolls Murph. Murph’s Capelessness quickly becomes evident and he’s the butt of classmate jokes and scorned as “Kid Normal,” but he wrangles a few other underclassman friends with undistinguished Capes and finds himself having a pretty decent time.

Prevalência de fatores associados à severidade dos acidentes em entorno de escolas

Promover a segurança viária nos entornos escolares é uma estratégia que contribui para que sejam construídas cidades seguras, saudáveis e sustentáveis. Este estudo é dedicado a identificar o conjunto de características físicas urbanas capazes de reduzir a severidade dos acidentes nesses entornos. A severidade foi analisada a partir das características da estrutura urbana, socioeconômicas, da instituição escolar e dos acidentes registrados (entre 2012 e 2014) no entorno de 905 escolas de Porto Alegre. Foram estimados modelos de escolha discreta ordenados e não ordenados, permitindo a comparação entre as abordagens. Entretanto, não foi identificada superioridade de uma abordagem metodológica sobre a outra. O conjunto de estimativas indica que a severidade dos acidentes no entorno escolar é influenciada por características da escola, do acidente, socioeconômicas e pela estrutura urbana, com destaque para influência negativa do número de interseções com quatro vias.7

What’s the secret ingredient? Searching for policies and practices that make charter schools successful

ABSTRACTThe charter-school sector in the United States has grown steadily since the first charter school opened in 1992 and nearly 7,000 charter schools currently serve nearly 3 million students. Research suggests that the average charter school performs about the same as nearby traditional public schools, but there is great variation in the effects of charter schools. Some are successful in boosting student achievement and others are not, raising the question of what distinguishes good charter schools from bad. This article summarizes the research on factors associated with successful charter schools. The research suggests that urban charter schools have more positive impacts on student achievement than other charter schools. The policies most consistently found to be associated with positive charter-school impacts include long school days or years, comprehensive behavioral policies with rewards and sanctions, and a mission that prioritizes boosting student achievement. In addition, moderately strong evidence suggests that high-dosage tutoring, frequent feedback and coaching for teachers, and policies promoting the use of data to guide teachers’ instructional practices are positively associated with charter schools’ achievement impacts.

Biotechnology in the production of beverages: the teaching of chemistry from the production of aguardente de cagaita (Eugenia dysenterica)

The diversity in the types of vegetation, Brazil is the second largest biome Cerrado, occupying 25% of the country, surpassed only by the Amazon. In Minas Gerais, the Brazilian state has about 10.3% of its area the Cerrado vegetation, covering mainly areas of the Upper and Middle Jequitinhonha. The flora of the cerrado has several fruit species with high potential for agricultural use, which are traditionally used by local people, and the fruits have high levels of sugars, proteins and minerals. Among the great diversity of plants and fruits present in the cerrado is the Eugenia dysenterica, popularly known as cagaita. The fruit is globular yellow color when ripe, slightly acid and can reach up to 4 cm long and up to 5 cm diameter. The work here exposed was led initially to a survey of state schools that have high school in the city of Sete Lagoas-MG. After this survey was chosen for the project development a nearby school of the Federal University of Sao Joao del Rei (UFSJ-CSL) for viability of the project and in which direction proved to be very available. 3rd year high school classes were chosen, totaling 55 students, selecting the students who had greater knowledge of the concepts studied and shown interest. Various activities with students have been developed, one of which is the application of a questionnaire in the first meeting, which enabled us to identify where the problems thereof. a booklet with texts followed fixation exercises and illustrative images on each topic worked in class and the students images developing the proposed project activities was developed. This study aimed to use a fruit of the Cerrado, cagaita to perform fermentation and subsequent distillation, to promote ownership of the concepts of chemistry, biochemistry and biotechnology in high school students. Through the questionnaire at the end of the project, it was possible to assess the relevance of their work and the impact on the training of students. The study proved to be very promising for the students and the school, where probably, future students of the University. It is important to emphasize that the development of the project was very promising because it allowed greater interaction of students with dynamic classes, practical and contextualized, allowing a greater learning of them.

Prevalence of Myopia and its Risk Factors in Rural Schoolchildren

Abstract Introduction: Myopia, also known as short sightedness, is a type of refractive error in which parallel rays coming from infinity are focused in front of the retina when accommodation is at rest. It is a condition in which close objects are seen clearly, but objects farther away appear blurred. It is an ophthalmic condition affecting 30% population. It is commonly seen in schoolchildren aged 8 to 12 years. This study was undertaken to find the prevalence of myopia among students aged 5 to 16 years of a school in a rural area of Wardha, Maharashtra, India. Materials and methods: Study sample included children between 5 and 16 years of age from a nearby rural school. We recorded degree of myopia by autorefractometer, and students with refractive error of <-0.5 D for at least one eye were considered as myopic. Strict inclusion and exclusion criteria were followed. Results: It was found that the prevalence of myopia is 39.6%. Mild to moderate degree of myopia was more common than severe one. Among the 198 myopic students, 112 were females and 86 were males. We found that there was no significant correlation between family history and presence of myopia. But, unhealthy reading habits and playing games on computer for 1 to 2 hours have an influence in the development of myopia. Conclusion: Due to high magnitude of uncorrected myopia, it appears to be a public health problem both in urban and rural areas, which suggest that an increase in outdoor activity may help to reduce the magnitude of the problem. Schoolteachers should be involved for positive reinforcement of schoolchildren for screening.

Air Pollution Exposure during School Commutes

Background Understanding of how school location impacts children’s air pollution exposure and the ability of children to walk and bike to school has been a policy issue of interest in recent years. Smart growth advocates encourage districts to locate schools in “walkable” locations, often near high-volume roadways while health professionals emphasize the importance of minimizing near-roadway exposure and support decisions to distance school locations from major roadways. As states implement laws to site schools away from high-volume roadways, such policies often lead to school locations that are disconnected from neighborhoods and accessible only by motorized transport modes. This study analyzes children’s air pollution exposure during school travel and during the school day and assesses exposure for children walking to a nearby school in a heavy diesel/heavy traffic area compared to their exposure if they were required to be bussed or driven to a remote school located in a low diesel/low traffic environment. Methods Researchers selected two neighborhoods with different air quality environments – heavy-diesel/heavy-traffic and low-diesel/low-traffic – with a synthetic sample of students. Home-to-school commuting routes were created for three modes: walk, automobile, and school bus. Air pollution exposure along each route was estimated using models developed from the Near-Road Exposures and Effects of Urban Air Pollutants (NEXUS) study, which are calibrated to capture conditions in 2010 during typical school travel periods for the Detroit metropolitan area. Daily average exposures for pollutant NOx were estimated by breaking the average school day into 5 phases (AM Commute, Unload, School Day, Load, PM Commute). Results Commuting exposure to NOx for all modes was lower for children at the low-diesel/low-traffic school than those at the high-diesel school. When children were driven or bussed outside of their neighborhood to the more distant, low-diesel school, time-weighted daily average cumulative NOx exposure was the greatest at ~340 μg/m3 if bussed and ~175 μg/m3 if driven (compared to 190 and 152 respectively if they had taken these modes to their local high-diesel neighborhood school). Conclusions Local school environments still largely drive the daily cumulative exposures to air pollutants among children; however, the exposures during school commutes are not negligible. In particular, our simulated implementation of policies that use buses to transport children to better air quality environments found no association with net reductions in daily exposure.

Malaria prevalence in asymptomatic and symptomatic children in Kiwangwa, Bagamoyo district, Tanzania

BackgroundMalaria prevalence continues to decline across sub-Saharan Africa as a result of various intervention strategies. However, the diseases still poses a public health concern in the region. While symptomatic malaria is recognized and treated, asymptomatic infections become increasingly important for interrupting transmission. A cross-sectional survey was conducted to assess malaria prevalence in symptomatic and asymptomatic children in Kiwangwa ward in Bagamoyo District in Tanzania.MethodsFour hundred school-aged children in Kiwanga ward were recruited in the study; 200 from Kiwangwa dispensary and 200 from nearby schools. Primary health parameters were examined and blood samples collected and examined for Plasmodium falciparum prevalence using rapid diagnostic test (RDT), light microscopy (LM) and reverse transcription quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) targeting transcripts of A-type 18s rRNA of P. falciparum. Gametocytes were detected by LM and RT-qPCR targeting transcripts of gametocyte specific marker, Pfs25.ResultsOverall P. falciparum prevalence was 73.3, 40.8 and 36.3% by RT-qPCR, RDT and LM in the study area, respectively (P < 0.001). As expected symptomatic children had a significantly higher prevalence of 89, 67.5 and 64.5% by qPCR, RDT and LM, compared to 57.5, 14 and 8% in the asymptomatic group, respectively. However, gametocyte prevalence in asymptomatic individuals was higher by both LM (2%) and qPCR (14%) than in symptomatic individuals LM (0.5%) and qPCR (3%).ConclusionsA substantial difference in prevalence of symptomatic and asymptomatic infections observed in Kiwangwa ward underpins the use of molecular tools in malaria surveillance aiming at estimating prevalence and transmission. Notably, the higher gametocytaemia observed in asymptomatic children indicates the reservoir infections and points to the need for detection and treatment of both asymptomatic and symptomatic malaria.

Total body and hand surface area: Measurements, calculations, and comparisons in ethnically diverse children in South Africa

AimThe aim was to investigate hand surface as a percentage of body surface area from infancy to 13 years of age using physical measurement and digital planimetry and establish the influence of age, gender, BMI for age and ethnicity, specifically in the South African population. A secondary aim included the development of a template for burn size measurement. MethodologyThis was a cross-sectional observational study. Demographic information was obtained from each participant. Body mass index (BMI) and body surface area (BSA) were determined using several established formulas. The hand area was measured using a standard physical measurement method and a digital planimetry method. All data was presented in an Excel and SPSS spreadsheet and the calculations performed with SPSS 24.0. ResultsThree-hundred and sixty-eight burn patients and 150 children from a nearby primary school were enrolled. The age ranged from 1 month to 13 years. The hospital patient group was significantly younger, included more boys and had a lower BMI by age. Most patients (98.7%) were African or mixed race compared to the school children who were primarily Caucasian (p<0.001). The seven formulas to determine the BSA were highly comparable with Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) of 0.997 (95% CI 0.996–0.998). Actual hand surface area measured ranged from 22.44cm2 to 164.9cm2. The mean measured and digital percentage HSA of TBSA for all participants was 0.929% with a SD of 0.088. Male children, had a larger HSA as a proportion of TBSA by 0.036%. Generally, as the child gets older from toddler to late childhood, the hand becomes relatively smaller by a factor of approximately 0.08%. As the BMI increased, the hand got relatively smaller. ConclusionThe potential value of the physical measurement method is that it lends itself to direct measurement during examination of the burnt child. The study showed that there are minor differences between racial groups, gender, BMI and age variations. The clinical relevance of these variations is negligible.

학교 입지 계획요소가 학생수 증감에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구

5개 신도시내 초등학교별 장기(24년간) 학생수 증감추세를 9개 계획요소(개발밀도, 다양한 사설학원의 입지 가능 여부, 학교 위치, 통학구역 형태, 인근 학교와의 거리 공동통학구역 운영 여부, 보행자전용가로 조성, 접도조건, 통학로상 입체보차분리시설 유무 등)별 가설을 설정하고, 이를 바탕으로 장기 학생수 증감추세와의 연관성 판단기준에 따라 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 개발밀도, 학교 위치, 통학구역 형태, 인근 학교 거리, 입체보차분리시설 설치 등의 계획요소는 뚜렷한 연관성이 뚜렷하게 나타났다. 둘째, 사설학원 입지와 인근학교 거리 보행자전용가로 설치의 계획요소는 약간의 연관성을 보였다. 셋째, 접도 차선수와 공동통학구역 계획요소는 연관성이 없었다. 본 연구는 수도권 1기 5개 신도시 89개 초등학교만을 조사 분석한 결과이기 때문에 이를 일반화하는데 한계가 있고, 분석요소 및 평가기준을 더욱 정교화할 필요가 있어 이에 대한 후속연구가 필요하다. In order to prove the hypothesis that the element of school location planning - the density of development, availability of various private institutes, the location of school, the type of school district, the distance to nearby schools, the existence of communal areas, the pedestrian street, the number of road lanes - affects the increase and decrease of the number of students in the long term, we examined the tendency of the number of long-term (24 years). The results of the analysis are as follows: First, the development factors such as development density, location of school, type of school district, distance from neighboring schools, separation of pedestrians and cars are clearly related. Second, the planning factors such as location of private school and installation of pedestrian-only street seem to be related to each other. Third, the number of road lanes and element of "communal area" is irrelevant. This study is limited to generalization of five new metropolitan cities in the metropolitan area, and it is necessary to further elaborate the analysis factors and evaluation criteria.
