ANALISIS JANGKAUAN PELAYANAN DAN POLA PERSEBARAN SARANA PENDIDIKAN SMA/MA NEGERI DI KOTA MALANG DENGAN PENDEKATAN NEAREST NEIGHBOR ANALYSIS (NNA)

Abstract

Educational facilities, particularly institutions such as public high schools (SMA/MA Negeri), play an integral role in the structure of residential settlements. The availability of educational facilities strategically located in various community areas is a crucial element in meeting social infrastructure needs. A study was conducted to evaluate the coverage and distribution patterns of educational facilities, specifically public high schools (SMA/MA Negeri), in Malang City. Buffer analysis and nearest neighbor analysis methods were employed to assess the distribution and service coverage of these educational facilities. The results of the study, utilizing ArcGIS 10.5, indicated that the coverage of these educational facilities does not fully encompass all areas in accordance with the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) radius of 3,000 square meters. The nearest neighbor analysis revealed that the locations of public high schools (SMA/MA Negeri) are randomly distributed throughout Malang City. The study concluded that public high school facilities are not evenly distributed across residential areas and do not comprehensively cover the population. Therefore, improvements in the distribution and equalization of educational facilities are essential to meet the equitable educational needs in Malang City.
