Regional Analysis System For Franchising Kindergarten Chain

With the increasing awareness of the importance of early childhood education, more and more people start to found kindergartens, which causing the increasing competition pressure in the kindergartens market. The franchise becomes a good choice to improve the competitiveness of a kindergarten. To protect the interests of franchised kindergartens, kindergarten chain generally has regional protection policy:within a certain range of a franchised kindergarten can not exist another same band franchised kindergarten, such as 2.5-kilometer radius. Kindergartens that want to join in should firstly meet the policy. In addition to meet the policy, reasonable location is also important for a new kindergarten to increase revenue.In the past, regional protection policy and the location of a new kindergarten was applied by fieldwork, which was not only highly costing and inefficient but also poorly controllable. Especially for the implementation of the protecting policy, the located of the region needed specific person to execute field measuring. After that, the specific person should investigate if another same franchised kindergarten was already existed in the region. In this process, lots of manpower and material resources was wasted.Faced with this situation,the X Franchising EducationCorporationauthorized author’s practicing corporation developing this system introduced in the paper.By means of taking full advantage of buffer analysis and overlay analysis in spatial analysis methods of GIS this paper developed the regional analysis system for franchising kindergarten chain. The system, in the form of WebGIS and mobile GIS, used the technology of Internet as HTTP、Ajax and XML, combined with AMAP API, Baidu API and used the spatial database software PostGIS as its database. Furthermore, the system in the mobile terminal was realized by further developing the popular instant message tool-WeChat, which maked the users could use the functions of the system by accessing the WeChat public number. In this paper, the system interface was introduced by using the X Franchising EducationCorporation.The system achieved carrying out the regional protection and providing recommendations for the location of new kindgartens. Besides, the kindergarten chain could acquaint the distribution situation in the national wide scope of their own franchised kindergartens. At the same time, users can add symbol in the map where an existed kindergarten is not identified, by which the database of the system can be expanded.By using this system, lots of manpower、material resources and time can be saved for the kindergarten chain and the kindergarten that wants to franchise. Also the system can reduce the blindness in siting the location of new kindergartens.
