Improving the Accessibility of Educational Facilities in Bamiyan

Abstract

Among the several dimensions involved in the concept of access to education, spatial accessibility plays a leading role in assuring a fair fruition of the school system in a territory. This paper illustrates a specific method developed for evaluating the degree of spatial accessibility of educational sites. Although the proposed method has been developed for the case study of Bamiyan, it can be considered as a general evaluation framework for assessing the accessibility of educational facilities in any populated areas.
