| dc.description.abstract | Access to education is recognized as a fundamental right for all Indonesian citizens. The quality of education can be improved by ensuring affordable educational facilities are available to every citizen. In Sei Rampah district, Serdang Bedagai regency, there are significant disparities in the distribution of educational facilities. A study was conducted to analyze the distribution pattern of these facilities, assess the need for additional facilities, and determine the accessibility of existing facilities. The research was conducted using a descriptive quantitative method, with data analysis involving nearest neighbor analysis and spatial analysis using GIS. The results show that the distribution pattern of public schools in Sei Rampah District is quite diverse, where public primary schools have a random pattern, public junior high schools have a uniform pattern and public senior high schools and vocational schools have a clustering pattern. Regarding the need for educational facilities for the next 10 years (2033) based on population, it is identified that primary schools require 11 public primary schools, junior high schools require 4 public junior high schools. Meanwhile, senior high schools need 5 public senior high schools and vocational high schools need 4 public vocational high schools in order to meet the needs of schools based on population. In addition, the results also show that the average area of coverage distance for public schools are Near and Medium, which means that students can reach their schools within 5-20 minutes on foot. However, for Public senior high schools and vocational high schools, due to the unmet need for schools as well as the clustered pattern of school distribution, these schools cannot accommodate students in all urban villages in Sei Rampah so that potentially these students attend schools in the nearest district. | en_US |
