| 英文摘要 | The vast and sparsely populated plateau areas, e.g., the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, are facing a major challenge in providing equitable and accessible education for all children. Taking primary schools in Tibet, China as a case study, this study develops a methodological framework for evaluating the spatial allocation of educational fa-cilities in plateau areas that integrates accessibility and cost. Grid-level accessibility assessment shows that accessibility to primary schools is quite inequal in Tibet. 12.9% of the population have to travel more than 1 h to reach the nearest school, mainly in Ali, Nyingci, Nagqu and Chamdo. The townships with high-to-medium population density, low-to-medium accessibility and low cost are identified as priority areas in future alloca-tion of educational services. By contrast, for the townships with low population density, low accessibility and high cost, low-cost educational service provision modes, e.g., small-scale teaching sites and remote educational services, are suggested. Finally, it is found that educational accessibility can be significantly improved by pro-moting nearby schooling policy in border areas between townships. The results of this study can provide evi-dences for the rational allocation of educational facilities in Tibet. The proposed methodological framework and analytic methods are applicable in plateau areas or other remote and low-population density areas. |
