| As the basis of social harmony and stability, social fairness and justice are the goal for the people to pursue for. But public education services remain seriously unequal in China. Peasants are served by basic public education meanwhile the opportunities between urban and rural areas are obviously unequal. In addition, there are no standards for layout planning of basic public education facilities in rural areas for a long period. Since the late1990s, the adjustment of basic public education facilities was simplified and formalized. Many basic public educational facilities were located sightlessly. Based on the above background, this paper studied the equalization in layout of basic public education facilities and set up a model suitable for other rural areas in view of social fairness and justice.The study included Jiangsu Sihong and Fujian Shanghang as examples, and the two counties represented the plain and mountain areas, respectively, in the eastern China. The whole paper was divided into four parts with seven chapters.The specific section was organized as follows:The first Part was research ideas and reviews, including Chapter I and Chapter II. Chapter I was the introduction, including research background, study area, research significance, research methods and ideas. Chapter II was related concept and research. After defining public services, basic public services and basic public education services, the concept of social equity and justice was comprehended in-depth. This paper reviewed the equalization of public services theory, the standard layout of public education facilities and the technology and methods of basic public education facilities.The second Part was important part of this article:the theory and method of building a model. Based on the most important distance and scale of two elements, Chapter III studied the main factors of the effect of urban and rural primary and middle schools, established the time distance model and the population scale model from distance and scale two aspects. These two models were introduced into a series of indicators to measure the standard layout of basic public education facilities as a specific measure. The two models interacted, constituted and affected the complex model system for basic public education facilities.The third Part was empirical research, including Chapter IV and Chapter V. Taking Jiangsu Sihong and Fujian Shanghang as example, this paper collected present data by on-site surveying and departments interviewing. From time distance and population scale two aspects, this chapter evaluated present layout and analyzed the causes of non-equality layout of basic public education facilities, in plains and mountain regions with country and township two levels.The fourth part was optimization recommendations and conclusions, including Chapter VI and Chapter VII. From two perspectives, the time distance and population scale, this chapter raised the main principles to optimize the layout. Besides, taking empirical cases of Sihong and Shanghang, this chapter advanced optimization proposal of the planning layout in different natural conditions of the plains and mountain regions. At last, from both theoretical modeling and empirical research, this chapter summarized the research results, and outlook the layout study of basic public education facilities in the future.This paper attempted to establish an spatial analysis model of universal applicability to measure the basic public education facilities standardized, spatialization and quantitative in the view of social fairness. The main innovations were as follows:1. This paper built a complete model for quantitative and spatial analysis, and selected the appropriate evaluation for the plains and mountain regions, respectively, initially built urban and rural basic public education equal facility layout evaluation system.2. This paper combined ArcGIS spatial analysis methods and quantitative analysis methods to the study of basic public education facilities layout. |
