Analysis of County and Rural Compulsory Education Accessibility and Balance Based on MM3SFCA:A Case Study of Shouxian County, Anhui Province
Using the improved multi-mode three-step floating catchment area method(MM3SFCA) accessibility evaluation model, Gini coefficient, Lorentz curve method and location entropy, the study analyzed the spatial accessi-bility and equity of rural compulsory education facilities in Shouxian County under scenarios of 10minute, 20minute, and 30minute travel times. The results show that the accessibility difference of rural compulsory education schools in Shouxian County is obvious, and the accessibility difference of primary schools increases with the increase of travel time, while that of junior middle schools decreases. The accessibility of schools exhibits a spatial characteristic that combines concentrated clusters centered around the township government seats with scattered points. The spatial dis-tribution of accessibility for primary schools is high in the central and southeastern part of the county, low in the northwest part of the county, and the accessibility for junior middle schools is relatively balanced and polycentric. The spatial allocation of compulsory education resources in rural areas of the county is seriously unbalanced. The allo-cation of primary school resources is better than that of junior middle school, and the central and southeastern regions of the county are higher than that of the northwest. The balance increases with the increase of travel time, and the spatial pattern of the balance of primary school resources changes from multi-center mode to single-center mode, while the balance of junior middle school resources maintains a multi-center spatial distribution.
