Use Cases

• Mapping the spatial distribution of educational institutions based on OpenStreetMap tags.
• Analyzing facility capacity and operator type for resource planning.
• Geocoding and address validation for educational facilities using the addr:full and addr:city attributes.
• Studying the coverage and potential gaps in educational infrastructure across Thailand.

Strengths

• Includes multiple educational facility types from kindergarten to university.
• Provides potential attributes like capacity:persons and multilingual names (name:en, name:th).
• Available in multiple geospatial formats (KML, GEOJSON, SHP, GEOPACKAGE).

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic or contributor bias inherent to OpenStreetMap.
