Evaluation Of The Location Of Elementary School Sites Using Integrated Geospatial Technologies: A Case Study Of Debre Birhan Town, Ethiopia

Abstract

Though Site Suitability Analysis For Educational Sites Of Primary School Is A Naturally Complex Multi-Dimensional Process, That Involving Multiple Criteria And Actors. One Of The Most Important Fields That Contributes To Building The Future, Achieving The Renaissance, And General Progress Is Education. Schools In Strategic Locations Are Critical For Play An Important Role In Improving Students??? Performance And Excellence. Debre Birhan Schools Placement And Distribution Are Inappropriate Some Schools Are Located Close To A Major Road And Others Is Close To Hazards, Students Are Exposed To Road Noise, Air Pollution, And Car Accidents As They Enter And Leave The School And Various Dangers, Like High-Voltage Electric Power And Gas Stations, Are Close To Other Schools. This Thesis Is To Investigate Suitability Of The Current Elementary School Locations And Proposed New Suitable Primary School Site In Debre Birhan Town By Using Integration Of Geospatial Technologies Evaluation Methods. The Study Use Literature Review And Schools Directors, Geospatial Experts And Educational OfficersTo Identify Criteria, Pairwise Comparison Method Is Systematic Way Use The Study To Select The Best Available Alternatives Based On Different Opinions. However, Geospatial Technology Software Integrated With Analytical Hierarchy Process (Ahp) Provide More Reliable, Flexible And Accurate Information To The Decision Making By Evaluating The Criteria And Factors For Performing Identify New Suitable Area For Elementary Schools And To Evaluate The Existing Sites Of Elementary Schools Of Debre Birhan. This Study Is Develop A Environmentally, Safety, And Accessibly Suitable Sites Selection Category Approach For Primary School Site Selection Using Integration Of Geospatial Technology Based On Multi Criteria Evaluation, Ahp. Using Arcgis Modelbuilder, A Model Was Created To Analyze The Final Suitability Map, Evaluate The Suitability Of The Current Schools, And Provide A Map For Each Criterion. Elementary Schools Suitability Analysis Of The Area Indicates That Only 6.05% Of The Area Has More Suitability Condition. The Remaining 63.4%, And 0.8% Of The Area Are Suitable And Less Suitable For Elementary School The Debre Birhan Education Bureau Is Thought To Benefit Most From This Research. The Study Will Help The Debre Birhan Urban Land Management Office, And The Debre Birhan Plan Implementation Office Make Decisions About The Locations Of The Current Schools And Propose Or Construct New Ones In The Future The Thesis Recommended To Improve The Teaching And Learning Environment In Schools, Regulations Should Be Created Criteria And Implemented.
