Abstract

This study examines the distribution patterns of private primary schools in some major cities within Basra Governorate, including (Basra City, Qurna, Dair, Hartha, Abu Al-Khasib, Zubair, Faw) for the academic year (2019-2020). The study utilizes Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software (ArcGIS 10.2) to analyze various geographical factors such as nearest neighbor analysis, standard distance, mean center, median center, and directional distribution. The analysis reveals that the distribution of private primary schools is dispersed and irregular, with a concentration in the cities of Zubair and Abu Al-Khasib due to their high population density.
