Use Cases

• Map school access and proximity based on the geolocated facility data.
• Plan education resource allocation based on the distribution of schools and universities.
• Analyze the spatial distribution of different facility types (e.g., kindergartens vs. colleges).

Strengths

• Data is provided in multiple geospatial formats (GEOPACKAGE, SHP, GEOJSON, JSON).
• The source, OpenStreetMap, is a free, collaborative world map.

Limitations

• Completeness varies by region; urban areas are usually well-mapped, remote areas may be incomplete.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
