中文摘要：

教育资源的均衡配置一直是学术界关注的热点话题。以西部轻工业城市-四川省南充市为例，通过地图矢量化和实地调查获取初级中学和高级中学地理位置，并基于ArcGIS软件，采用核密度和样方分析两种方法探索南充市中学学校空间布局特征。结果表明：①南充市各区、县内存在明显的聚集现象；②中学学校整体表现为聚集分布，且有一个明显的教育凝聚核心（市辖区的交汇点）；③东部和西北部中学教育资源存在零散分布现象。结合统计学知识与其他影响因素进行分析，发现学校空间格局和交通因素、人口分布、经济发展等方面紧密相关。该研究以期为未来完善城市内部结构、建设城市交通路网和学校建设提供可行性参考。

英文摘要：

Research on the balanced allocation of educational resources always was a hot topic. In paper, Nanehong City, a light industrial city in Western China, was chose as study area for analyzing the spatial structure characteristics of middle schools. Application of vectorization technology and field investigation methods made the geographical position of junior and senior middle schools showed in ArcGIS. Then kernel Density Algorithm and Quadrat analysis methods were utilized in analyzing the spatial structure of schools in Nanchong. There were three kinds of phenomena showed in re- sults：O There were obvious agminated phenomena of middle schools in each of districts. （~）Observing from the whole of city, a clear core of education located in municipal district and these middle schools presented aggregated distribution. QThe phenomenon of scattered distribution also took place in the east and northwest of Nanchong. In addition, some factors were considered in research and the spatial structure has a close correlation among traf- fic, population and economy. Hope the results of research can provide reference for improving of the city＇ s internal structure, urban transport network and school construction in the future.
