Abstract: In order to explore the evolution of the network structure and spatial pattern of educational facilities in mountainous cities and towns, taking Wanzhou District of Chongqing, China as a case study, using complex network analysis methods to construct collaboration network models of multi-period educational facilities, we calculate their degree distribution, network density, node strength, and network hinterland. Indicators such as the network hinterland reflect the integrity of the network, the level of hierarchy, and the functional structure of the core facilities. The research shows that: 1)the overall spatial pattern of the network evolves from “one core and many wings” to “multi-core and multi-wing”; 2)influenced by multiple factors such as policies, facility functions, location, etc., different levels of educational facilities appear to be “overall crushing-local agglomeration” in spatial distribution; 3)core facility functions are divided into “pair-assisted type” and “group core type”, and the “pair-assisted type” facility network hinterland is less restricted by space distance, while the “group core type” facility network hinterland is subject to space, namely, the distance limit is obvious. Based on this, combined with the influence mechanism of spatial pattern, this research refines the evolution pattern of educational facility spatial pattern and discusses the planning orientation.
