Taking the rocky desertification area in Yunnan, Guangxi, and Guizhou (YGGRD) as the study area, based on the POI data of educational facilities in the YGGRD in 2000, 2010 and 2019, this study explored the evolution of the accessibility of educational facilities in the YGGRD through raster accessibility. And the influencing factors were analyzed by the ordinary least square method (OLS) and geographically weighted regression model (GWR), and evaluated the model through cross validation. The results show that the overall accessibility of educational facilities improved significantly from 2000 to 2019. Educational facilities mainly have good accessibility and average accessibility. Poor accessibility areas are concentrated in the interprovincial border regions, and the boundary effect is significant. County accessibility, population density and rural per capita disposable income have a great impact on the accessibility of educational facilities in the YGGRD. It is suggested to strengthen the construction of educational facilities in the interprovincial border regions, relocate and integrate villages, and improve the education quality of township schools to improve the supply of rural educational resources.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijgi11050296","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,3]],"date-time":"2022-05-03T08:26:35Z","timestamp":1651566395000},"page":"296","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Exploring the Evolution of the Accessibility of Educational Facilities and Its Influencing Factors in Mountainous Areas: A Case Study of the Rocky Desertification Area in Yunnan, Guangxi, and Guizhou"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Lingling","family":"Yao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Northwest Land and Resource Research Center, Shaanxi Normal University, Xi\u2019an 710119, China"},{"name":"Natural Resources and National Land Use Research Institute, Shaanxi Normal University, Xi\u2019an 710119, China"},{"name":"Global Regional and Urban Research Institute, Shaanxi Normal University, Xi\u2019an 710119, China"},{"name":"Institute of Transportation Geography and Spatial Planning, Shaanxi Normal University, Xi\u2019an 710119, China"},{"name":"Northwest Key Laboratory of Urbanization and Land Environment Spatial Simulation, Shaanxi Normal University, Xi\u2019an 710119, China"}]},{"given":"Minjuan","family":"Lv","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Northwest Land and Resource Research Center, Shaanxi Normal University, Xi\u2019an 710119, China"},{"name":"Natural Resources and National Land Use Research Institute, Shaanxi Normal University, Xi\u2019an 710119, China"},{"name":"Global Regional and Urban Research Institute, Shaanxi Normal University, Xi\u2019an 710119, China"},{"name":"Institute of Transportation Geography and Spatial Planning, Shaanxi Normal University, Xi\u2019an 710119, China"},{"name":"Northwest Key Laboratory of Urbanization and Land Environment Spatial Simulation, Shaanxi Normal University, Xi\u2019an 710119, China"},{"name":"School of Geography and Tourism, Shaanxi Normal University, Xi\u2019an 710119, China"}]},{"given":"Tao","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Northwest Land and Resource Research Center, Shaanxi Normal University, Xi\u2019an 710119, China"},{"name":"Natural Resources and National Land Use Research Institute, Shaanxi Normal University, Xi\u2019an 710119, China"},{"name":"Global Regional and Urban Research Institute, Shaanxi Normal University, Xi\u2019an 710119, China"},{"name":"Institute of Transportation Geography and Spatial Planning, Shaanxi Normal University, Xi\u2019an 710119, China"},{"name":"Northwest Key Laboratory of Urbanization and Land Environment Spatial Simulation, Shaanxi Normal University, Xi\u2019an 710119, China"}]},{"given":"Donghua","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Northwest Land and Resource Research Center, Shaanxi Normal University, Xi\u2019an 710119, China"},{"name":"Natural Resources and National Land Use Research Institute, Shaanxi Normal University, Xi\u2019an 710119, China"},{"name":"Global Regional and Urban Research Institute, Shaanxi Normal University, Xi\u2019an 710119, China"},{"name":"Institute of Transportation Geography and Spatial Planning, Shaanxi Normal University, Xi\u2019an 710119, China"},{"name":"Northwest Key Laboratory of Urbanization and Land Environment Spatial Simulation, Shaanxi Normal University, Xi\u2019an 710119, China"},{"name":"School of Geography and Tourism, Shaanxi Normal University, Xi\u2019an 710119, China"}]},{"given":"Xiaoshu","family":"Cao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Northwest Land and Resource Research Center, Shaanxi Normal University, Xi\u2019an 710119, China"},{"name":"Natural Resources and National Land Use Research Institute, Shaanxi Normal University, Xi\u2019an 710119, China"},{"name":"Global Regional and Urban Research Institute, Shaanxi Normal University, Xi\u2019an 710119, China"},{"name":"Institute of Transportation Geography and Spatial Planning, Shaanxi Normal University, Xi\u2019an 710119, China"},{"name":"Northwest Key Laboratory of Urbanization and Land Environment Spatial Simulation, Shaanxi Normal University, Xi\u2019an 710119, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"United Nations (2022, March 25).
