Spatial Analysis of Dispersion of Educational Land Use in Ardebil Using GIS Spatial Data

The purpose of this study was to analyze the spatial distribution of educational land use in Ardebil. In this regard, using spatial statistics models, hot spot analysis and spatial autocorrelation in ArcGIS software, the spatial distribution of educational applications in Ardebil was investigated. Research data were collected by documentary method with reference to relevant sources and organizations. The use of spatial statistics analysis methods in the distribution of educational uses and temporal data (2016) and location (neighborhoods of Ardabil) is one of the innovations of the present study.The obtained results showed that areas 6, 7 and 10 of Zone 3 and Zone 6 of Zone 1 were blocks with high educational use weight and high concentration of hot spots. Finally area 11, of Zone 1, area 11, areas 3 and areas 4, 8 and 9 of Zone 2 were low training weight blocks and low concentrations of hot spots, which were at a lower level in terms of stability. Also, according to Moran index, the spatial distribution of educational land uses in Ardebil was clustered. The results of regression function analysis in Idrisi environment also showed that there was a positive correlation between educational use and population, educational use and residential, medical, law enforcement, commercial, commercial service and sports uses. Nonetheless there was a negative correlation between cultural use and green space and workshop-industrial use. The use of spatial statistics analysis methods in the distribution of educational land uses and data of temporal and location are the innovations of the present study.
