GIS-Based Land Suitability Analysis for School Development Planning in Indonesia’s New Capital City (IKN)
Keywords:
Educational planning, Land suitability, Geographic information system (GIS), Nusantara capital city (IKN)Abstract
The planning of school construction in the Nusantara Capital City (IKN) requires an integrated approach to ensure that educational facilities align with the region's characteristics and development goals. As a new capital, IKN faces challenges in determining school locations that are not only physically viable but also support sustainable and equitable access to education. This study aims to analyze land suitability as a basis for school planning in the IKN area by utilizing Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The research employs a quantitative descriptive approach with spatial analysis methods. The analysis is based on several parameters, including road network accessibility, proximity to rivers, slope inclination, land use, and disaster risk levels. The results indicate that the study area is categorized into several land suitability classes: highly suitable, suitable, moderately suitable, marginally suitable, and unsuitable. Areas with high suitability generally feature supportive physical conditions and good accessibility, making them potential priorities for school development. The findings of this study provide a land suitability map and guidelines for school development zones, which are expected to serve as a foundation for more targeted and sustainable educational planning in IKN.
