A Location Model for the Reorganization of a School System: The Italian Case Study

This work analyses a problem concerning the reorganisation of the school system located in a given region. In particular, the problem has been tackled considering the requirements indicated for the Italian case related to the reorganisation of pre-primary, primary and secondary schools in integrated institutions managed in a centralised way. In order to solve the problem, two versions of a location model are proposed. The application to a real case study shows how the model can be used as a viable decision support system.
