Predicting of educational buildings locations by integrating spatial distribution assessment techniques high schools in Mosul as a case study1

Abstract

The paper assesses the existing spatial distribution locations of Mosul's high schools respecting the local standards using QGIS. It evaluates the school area and capacity to determine the lack in its region; proposing additional school loca- tions to overcome the shortage concerning multiple criteria using City-Engine to represent mathematical and formal constraints through numerical code. Then, it evaluates the schools' proposed locations to explore the solutions' quality in compliance with the local standards.
