Abstract

A short introduction is given to the structural problems of rural areas in the Federal Republic of Germany, and as an example the case of the declining provision of schools (especially elementary schools) is then presented. A location-allocation model, called a maximum supply dispersion model, is introduced which is capable of demonstrating the relation between the provision of schools and the minimum school size, and which may be used as a base for planning the development of schools and other public central facilities in rural areas.
