DESCRIPTION:In many countries\, access to schooling is one of the key measu
 res of performance of the education system. It is not always known how lon
 g learners walk to school\, even if the buffer distance is set by policy. 
 GISPO teamed up with the UNESCO International Institute of Educational Pla
 nning (IIEP) to study the problem.\n\n\nThe result is a new QGIS plugin (
 “Catchment”) which allows easily calculating catchment areas based on 
 travel time (isochrones)\, for all schools across a whole territory. The p
 lugin uses the open source Graphhopper routing server and OpenStreetMap da
 ta across the globe. This allows us to easily find out how many people liv
 e e.g. 15\, 30 or 60 minutes away from education in different parts of a c
 ountry. \n\nFurther\, the development of the plugin triggered a campaign o
 f local OpenStreetMap mapping in Madagascar\, which was one of the first c
 ountries to pilot the plugin. Having more roads mapped on OpenStreetMap ha
 s an impact far beyond educational planning.\n\nNaturally\, the same plugi
 n may also be used for calculating all kinds of service catchment areas in
  QGIS\; it was also employed to e.g. calculate access to rail transit acro
 ss Helsinki metropolitan region.
