Education Facilities of Bulgaria from OpenStreetMap

Bulgaria's education facilities, including schools, kindergartens, colleges, and universities, are mapped via OpenStreetMap tags. The data is provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team and was last updated on 2026-06-26. It is useful for mapping school access, education planning, and resource allocation.

Use Cases

• Map school accessibility based on facility locations.
• Plan education resource allocation based on the distribution of schools and universities.
• Analyze urban-rural disparities in education infrastructure coverage.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.
• Covers multiple facility types: schools, kindergartens, colleges, and universities.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and GEOJSON.

Limitations

• Coverage reflects volunteer mapper activity, leading to potential urban-rural bias.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
