This study aims to reveal the spatial distribution pattern of primary school educational resources in Beijing's Chaoyang District and their alignment with school-age population demand, assess the equilibrium level of regional educational resource allocation, and provide scientific basis for optimizing educational facility layout. Based on multi-source data including elementary school facility locations, demographic statistics, and urban road networks, this study integrates kernel density analysis, buffer zone analysis, Gaussian two-step search function (Ga2SFCA), and bivariate local spatial autocorrelation to construct a quantitative evaluation framework for spatial accessibility and supply-demand matching of educational facilities. Results indicate: (1) Spatial accessibility to primary education resources in Chaoyang District exhibits significant spatial heterogeneity, improving overall with increasing distance thresholds (2km, 3km, 4km in this study); (2) Accessibility patterns show superior conditions in western, southern, and parts of northern areas, gradually declining toward northern and eastern peripheral zones;(3) Supply-demand imbalances (identified through local spatial autocorrelation) are concentrated in parts of the northern and southern areas, reflecting spatial mismatches between resource allocation and population distribution; (4) Overall equilibrium requires improvement, with pronounced disparities between core and peripheral zones. These findings clarify the weak areas and spatial imbalances in primary school resource allocation within Chaoyang District, providing direct reference for optimizing facility layout and promoting educational equity.
