Abstract

The study aims at spatial analysis of the sites of secondary education schools, and  determining how they are distributed within the city's Misurata range, and the importance it represents in upgrading the educational level of society, especially after the urban expansion that the city witnessed in recent years and the extremes of its ends towards the surrounding areas, and an increase in the population, as well It aims to employ geographic information systems in documenting, distributing and analyzing secondary school sites to produce updateable digital maps, based on field survey and the use of a Global Positioning System (GPS). The study measured the central point and dispersion of schools and the direction of distribution and the neighborhood link. The study showed the efficiency of geographic information systems in processing data using their functions in the spatial analysis process, and revealed through the analysis of the spatial distribution pattern using the neighborhood link that the distribution pattern is heading towards the convergent random pattern irregularly And its lack of fairness in the distribution between the municipal branches, at the expense of population density and area, i.e. the presence of a concentration in the numerical distribution of schools that varies in some of them, in general, may not reflect a similar situation for distribution in the study area.
