Abstract. The Geographic Information System (GIS) is still a special tool for mapping schools, comprehending urban planning, and allocating educational resources. In order to demonstrate the value of utilizing GIS techniques to support educational planning authorities, the study conducted a GIS analysis for the distribution of lower secondary schools in Florina,Greece, to comprehend, reorganize, and resolve the issues with the schools’
distribution, availability, and placement in Florina City. Education and population data gathered from authorities were incorporated into a Geodatabase for the study area. The research region’s school accessibility, student density, and location distribution are all understood through the use of spatial analyses. The analysis’s findings help the Greek authorities make better planning decisions, address current and upcoming issues with providing public schools to citizens, and – above all – improve educational services by identifying services, students, density, directional growth of the schools, and served and unserved populace. The findings revealed two regions with school deserts that need new schools: initially the 4th Lower-Secondary School (Gymnasium) of Florina and possibly in the future the 5th Lower-Secondary School (Gymnasium) of Florina.
Keywords: geographic information system (GIS), QGIS, school mapping, planning, educational facilities, school desert
