Abstract
Maps are considered one of the most important outputs of geographic information systems, as these systems contain all the capabilities necessary to design, produce, and produce maps with accuracy and high quality, in record time, and in a way that allows the processing, display, or concealment of those phenomena that are represented within the system in a smooth technical manner. All modern cartographic studies have emphasized the importance of using this technique in all geographical studies, both natural and human. Through it, it is possible to create a digital database for any study, including, as a representative example, the private secondary educational services under research, in which high-quality maps were produced for their spatial distribution among the districts of Babylon Governorate. The study presented, cartographically, the reality of the discrepancy in the spatial distribution of private secondary education services in the governorate for the academic year (2024-2025), whether in terms of the number of schools, the number of students, etc., The extent to which the educational indicators for the services in question were compatible with the official educational indicators and standards was also studied. The research also dealt with a statistical cartographic analysis to show the distributional trend of these services in Babylon Governorate through mathematical statistical coefficients mediated by geographic information systems.
