تحليل التوزيع المكاني لمدارس الطفولة المبكرة بالقطاع الشمالي لمدينة الرياض باستخدام الأنظمة الجيومكانية
The study assesses the spatial distribution of early childhood schools in northern Riyadh using Geospatial systems to support Saudi Vision 2030 goals of equity and quality of life. Using official data analyzed by ArcGIS Pro, it integrates school locations, land reserves, boundaries, and population density, and applies nearest neighbor, density, buffer, directional, and suitability analyses. Results reveal clustered schools in central neighborhoods and shortages in fast-growing and peripheral areas despite available educational plots. The study proposes a GIS-based equity framework to prioritize new sites, activate vacant parcels, enhance accessibility, optimize resources, and promote sustainable and socially just urban development.
