The effect of supporting facilities growth around the urban campus on land-use change

Abstract

Previous research revealed spatial interactions between several public facilities and campus locations. Therefore, it is likely that a campus development in a location will encourage the growth of various supporting facilities in that location. Thus, the question arises: Do the campus's existence and various public facilities around it encourage changes in land use in the area? The objective of this study is to explore land-use changes in the areas around education facilities. This study used a Geographical Information System (GIS) to process and analyze data, including the projection system setup, digitizing, editing, and visualizing. The results of the land use analysis for several consecutive years show a tendency to increase the built-up area category and decrease the cultivated land category. These findings provide insight into the questions underlying this research. These findings provide insight into the questions underlying this research and encourage further research on how to determine the appropriate location for developing various supporting facilities by understanding the environmental transformation of the existing urban campus. The relationship between campus locations and neighborhood characteristics, such as demographics and income, also requires further research.
