Analysis of Educational Centers in North Zone of Surat City

The main goal of an urban planner is to plan with citizen’s comfort, health, and utility in context. GIS is a tool for mapping the plans with attribute data and details. As a result, the best suitable location for any of the facility is identified. The educational centers in the study area are identified to have poor accessibility (Waleed Lagrab, 2015). The purpose of the study is to use GIS for exploring ideal locations of educational centers. In the study, an analysis of accessibility of educational centers with road network is carried out. Demographic data were used for the demand analysis. A proximity analysis using the buffer tool was applied. As a result, the study revealed about the effectiveness of analysis by using the GIS technology. Despite the area developed employing an implementation of T. P. Scheme mechanism, it was abstracted that the locations of educational centers seemed not to be planned following any guiding parameter. Also, as per demand, the existing centers are inadequate with dispersed distribution.
