North Korean Education Facilities from OpenStreetMap

An OpenStreetMap export of education facilities in North Korea, including schools, kindergartens, colleges, and universities. The data is contributed by volunteers and its completeness likely varies, with urban areas potentially better mapped than remote regions. It was last updated on 2026-05-14 by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team.

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 education infrastructure across urban and remote areas.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Facilities are tagged using standardized OpenStreetMap keys (`amenity`, `building`).

Limitations

• Completeness varies by region; remote areas may be incomplete.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
