Jarak dan Keterjangkauan Sekolah Menengah Pertama Negeri Di Kecamatan Tarutung Setelah Ditetapkannya Zonasi Wilayah Penerimaan Peserta Didik Baru Berdasarkan Teori Neighborhood Unit

Abstract

Currently, the mechanism for implementing new student admissions is determined by looking at the distance between the student's domicile and the school they are going to, or what is often called a zoning system. Tarutung District has 7 (seven) State Middle School educational facilities. Three of them are located in the same area and the other four are spread across several areas. Determination of zoning locations is based on the results of meetings between school committee representatives and representatives of all school parties, not based on studies of regional needs. So it is necessary to analyze the affordability of junior high school educational facilities in Tarutung District to determine the impact of zoning on the affordability of educational facilities from a geospatial information system perspective. Neighborhood Unit Theory is an ideal planning theory in determining a residential area that is comfortable in providing facilities for its residents, one of the important facilities is the availability of affordable educational facilities. By using spatial analysis, we will see the affordability of the location of State Middle Schools in Tarutung with existing villages/sub-districts in Tarutung based on the Neighborhood Unit theory. From the Spatial Analysis, it was found that the current location of State Middle School facilities in Tarutung based on the Naighboorhood Unit theory is not yet able to reach all locations in Tarutung District. The percentage of areas that are difficult to reach by State Middle School facilities is greater than that of areas that are reached with a value of 77.41% for areas that are difficult to reach and 22.59% for areas that are affordable.
