The spatial analysis of primary schools is needed to ensure that they meet standards set by the Government of India. Therefore, mapping of Prayagraj district primary schools is carried out in this research work. The spatial analysis of schools is performed using various parameters that include: literacy rate, student gender ratio, teacher taught ratio, and students' toilets ratio. Several problems were revealed in the GIS based analysis of schools by highlighting their locations on the map. The results identify the location of all those schools where there is a need to take corrective measures. Further, the route analysis between home and school is handled in this research work. Sometimes, commutation is the sole criteria in the selection of a school. Therefore, optimal path analysis has been performed based on three parameters, i.e. population density, traveling distance and traveling time. A combined weight function is also given to find the optimal path. This work will help people to select the best possible path based upon their requirements. There is often a requirement to reach all the schools to distribute the goods or other physical monitoring activities. This work gave the optimal route to visit all the schools by using the Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP). School accessibility results obtained in this research through TSP will assist in choosing the best possible route. This will help the government identify locations where new roads need to be constructed to have road connectivity.
需要对小学进行空间分析，以确保它们符合印度政府设定的标准。因此，本研究工作对普拉亚格拉杰地区的小学进行了地图绘制。学校的空间分析是使用各种参数进行的，这些参数包括：识字率、学生性别比例、师生比以及学生厕所比例。通过在地图上突出显示学校的位置，基于地理信息系统（GIS）的学校分析揭示了几个问题。结果确定了所有需要采取纠正措施的学校的位置。此外，本研究工作还处理了家和学校之间的路线分析。有时，通勤是选择学校的唯一标准。因此，基于人口密度、出行距离和出行时间这三个参数进行了最优路径分析。还给出了一个组合权重函数来找到最优路径。这项工作将帮助人们根据自己的需求选择最佳可能路径。经常需要到达所有学校以分发物资或进行其他实地监测活动。这项工作通过旅行商问题（TSP）给出了访问所有学校的最优路线。本研究通过TSP获得的学校可达性结果将有助于选择最佳可能路线。这将帮助政府确定需要修建新道路以实现道路连通性的位置。
