Abstract

The research aims to determine the spatial distribution of private secondary schools in the city of Fallujah for the academic year (2023-2024), to evaluate the efficiency of these schools and their ability to meet the needs of the population for educational services. Educational services are among the most important and essential services provided to the population, given their clear impact on community life and their efforts to instill a spirit of education within society.


The use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software has provided significant potential for finding the most appropriate solutions and making the best decisions, particularly regarding processing and analyzing spatial information to evaluate school locations according to a set of criteria, as well as utilizing the capabilities of GIS to assign schools to city neighborhoods based on their degree of suitability to the criteria.


Measuring educational efficiency according to educational, pedagogical, surveying, and spatial criteria, we find that most private secondary schools do not meet the criteria, as they do not take into account spatial planning. This study reveals the improper spatial distribution of these schools, their close, random distribution pattern, and the small number of buildings.
