Abstract
The development of school mapping research in various countries shows how the quality of human resources can be improved by optimizing research maps. The purpose of this article was to explore the development of school mapping, examine the types of school mapping tools used, and explore the data presented in the school mapping. The method used was a systematic literature review. The results showed that several countries that have conducted school mapping research are UK, Malta, Spain, Kenya, Ghana, India, China, Malaysia, Myanmar, Chile, Canada, Minnesota, Hawaii, New Zealand, and Australia. School mapping research focuses on three topics consisting of evaluating school policies, mapping as an infrastructure database, and school information tools. The mapping method used to assess school policies was a qualitative method while using geographic information systems as a database. This study provides an overview of the research on school mapping as a solution for improving the quality of human resources, such as mapping vocational schools with industrial availability and their suitability for regional potential.
