Evaluation and Optimization Strategy of Equivalence of Preschool Education Resources Based on Community Life Circle:A Case Study of the Main Urban Area of Lanzhou City
This paper takes the main urban area of Lanzhou City as a case study and evaluates the equality of preschool education resources based on the three-level community life circle of 5 min,10 min and 15 min.By combining data on preschool enrollment,school-age children,road network,etc.,this paper utilizes the superposition analysis method to assess the equality of preschool education resources and analyzes the impact of circle amplification on equality and spatial optimization strategy.The results indicate that:1)In the tertiary community life circle,there is a basic balance between supply and demand for preschool education resources.The number of balanced areas far exceeds that of oversupplied or undersupplied areas.As the living circle expands,there is a decrease in both"oversupply"and"undersupply",with adjustments in schooling radius and scope helping achieve supply-demand balance when school-age children cannot access their nearest kindergarten.2)The 5-minute living circle exhibits widespread distribution and even coverage in terms of"moderate accessibility",ensuring convenient access to kindergartens for children.With the enlargement of the living circle,the number of"low-accessibility"living circles has increased and the coverage has expanded,which has caused inconvenience in accessing kindergartens.3)Overall,there is high equality in preschool education resource allocation especially within the 5-minute living circle.However this decreases as the living circle expands.Consequently,it is proposed to add 33 kindergartens with an additional capacity for 8910 places while optimizing road networks within 1685-minute living circles based on supply-demand optimization.
