AuthorsIhsan A. Jasim, Sabeeh L. Farhan, Laheab A. Al-Maliki and Sohaib K. AL-Mamoori
JournalIOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, Volume 754, Prospects of sustainability of p
Abstract

The hot, dry environmental conditions prevailing in Al-Najaf and Yazd cities - a modern old problem-must be studied with some detail to come up with new solutions to adapt to the current environmental conditions of the two cities. the research aims to compare the methods used by the residents of Al-Najaf and Yazd cities to handle the hard-environmental conditions in the past and the way to adapt to them. Eight criteria were compared and discussed to investigate the ways and methods to improve the environmental situation in the two cities. The research concluded that there is a great similarity in the environment of the two cities, as well as the environment responding to the treatments that human life adapts. This necessitates the need to preserve the environmental design vocabulary for these two cities (Yazd and Najaf) such as the central courtyard of the aligned residential units to soften the atmosphere within the one unit and increase the family bonding.in addition to preserving the side Shanasheel and local privacy. Yazd city overpass Al-Najaf city by maintaining climate treatments for the historical centre and developing them in line with the development of building methods and construction materials.

AuthorsLaheab A. Al-Maliki , Sabeeh L. Farhan,Ihsan A. Jasim,Sohaib K. Al-Mamoori, Nadhir Al-Ansari |
JournalCogent Engineering
Abstract

This study intends to evaluate university students’ awareness regarding water pollution in Iraq to show the environmental education contribution in reducing water pollution. The study was conducted in Wasit university, Wasit province, Iraq by field questionnaire survey with 388 students from the civil engineering department and engineering college. The questionnaires were divided according to the pollution causes into industrial, agricultural and sewage water pollutants. The data were analyzed utilizing the thematic analysis to assess environmental knowledge and awareness of water pollution risks. The results show that most students have high interest in environmental conservation, yet, a lack of education in general environmental education, as the educational curriculum focuses on theoretical aspects more than the practical ones. The results also show that the media role is inactive concerning environmental awareness of water pollution. This study provides a scientific view of policymakers for potential future conditions to find solutions that achieve sustainability goals.

Abstract

Seismic vulnerability is very important for buildings, especially old and dilapidated buildings that did not take into account the impact of earthquakes. In the past years, the seismic effect has not been taken into account, and recently Iraq has experienced a growing seismic activity. For this reason, it is crucial to create a seismic database for all cities. The present paper used SPT-N test results to assess seismic vulnerability for Al-Najaf city by producing five geotechnical maps using the GIS program for all seismic design categories. The data utilized in this research are obtained from 130 boreholes at 30 m depth distributed in the study area. The results show that the new RC frames must be designed as moment-resisting frames to resist future earthquakes. All the existing RC buildings are vulnerable to earthquake effects and need to be strengthened to act as seismic-resistant systems. The strengthened structure should act as ordinary reinforced concrete moment frame (ORCMF), intermediate reinforced concrete moment frame (IRCMF), or special reinforced concrete moment frame (SRCMF), depending on the building location and its risk category type. The use of soil investigation data to assess the site class of soil (instead of assuming D for unknown soil) gave more economical choices for the reinforced concrete moment-resisting frames. Hence, for buildings types I, II, and III in some regions of the city, ORCMF can be used instead of IRCMF. In the same areas, IRCMF can be used instead of SRCMF for building type IV.

Estimation of Uplift Pressure Equation at Key Points under Floor of Hydraulic Structures

AuthorsMohammed Hamid Rasool , Laheab A. Al-Maliki Sohaib Kareem Al-Mamoori Nadhir Al-Ansari
JournalCogent Engineering
Abstract

Most of the hydraulic structures rest on an impervious foundation to reserve water at the upstream side. The water heads difference leads to water movement from the higher to the lower head through the porous soil layer beneath the foundation, generating an uplift pressure under the structure floor. In this study, a new method is presented to estimate the uplift pressures at key points by performing sub-surface flow analysis using the Analysis SYStem (ANSYS) software. Then a statistical analysis to validate the proposed equations is conducted using the SPSS software. The case study for this research is a barrage in Kufa city-Iraq. The used data to implement this study was water levels, soil permeability, and length of imperious foundation. The obtained results show good outcomes from using the proposed method to develop uplift pressure equations. The comparison of the current study results with Khosla’s equation showed good agreement where the coefficient of determination (R2) and the standard error of estimation (SEE) for the equations were between (99.9–97.8) and (0.024–0.11), respectively.

AuthorsSohaib Kareem Al-Mamoori , , Laheab A. Al-Maliki Ahmed Hashem Al-Sulttani Khaled El-Tawil Nadhir Al-Ansari
JournalEnvironmental Earth Sciences
Abstract

The presence of an economical solution to predict soil behaviour is essential for new construction areas. This paper aims to investigate the ultimate interpolation method for predicting the soil bearing capacity of An-Najaf city-Iraq based on field investigation information. Firstly, the engineering bearing capacity was calculated based on the in-site N-SPT values using dynamic loading for 464 boreholes with depths of 0–2 m, using the Meyerhof formula. The data then were classified and imported to the GIS program to apply the interpolation methods. Four deterministic and two geostatistical interpolation methods were applied to produce six bearing capacity maps. The statistical analyses were performed using two methods: the common cross-validation method by the coefficient of determination (R2) and root mean square error (RMSE), where the results showed that ordinary kriging (OK) is the ultimate method with the least RMSE and highest R2. These results were confusing so, the backward elimination regression (BER) procedure was applied to gain the definite result. The results of BER show that among all the deterministic methods, the IDW is the optimal and most significant interpolation method. The result of geostatistical methods shows that EBK is the best method in our case than the OK method. BER also applied to all six methods and shows that IDW is the ultimate significant method. The results indicate no general ultimate interpolation method for all cases and datasets type; therefore, the statistical analyses must be performed for each case and dataset.

JournalGroundwater for Sustainable Development
Abstract

Most rivers in developing countries are facing water contamination problem. Therefore, saving water quality by complying with the industrial, drinking, and agricultural allowable standard limits has been difficult. This study aims to assess Shatt Al-Kufa water quality as one branch of the Euphrates River by calculating three types of water quality indices in two cases, excluding and including the phosphate (PO4) consentration, as it was the parameter that most met the standard. The used water quality indices are the Weight Arithmetic Water Quality Index (WAWQI), the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment Water Quality Index (CCMEWQI) and the Oregon Water Quality Index (OWQI). Fifteen parameters were analyzed, including pH value, Biological Oxygen Demand, Turbidity, Total Hardness, Orthophosphate, Sulphate, Nitrate, Alkalinity, Potassium, Sodium, Magnesium, Chloride, Dissolved Oxygen, Calcium and Total Dissolved Solids. The results show that the average WAWQI for three stations, including PO4, were 33.79, 43.75 and 37.62, which is good water. However, in excluding PO4, the water quality was characterized as very poor depending on the resulting values (86.62, 88.86 and 91.91, respectively). The CCMEWQI values for three stations were 63.83, 60.40 and 55.69, including PO4, so the water quality was fair and marginal. According to OWQI, the water quality for three stations was very poor in two cases since the OWQI value less than 59. Pearson correlation shows a good link, especially total hardness and total dissolved solids with salt. Graphical abstract

A Design Chart for Optimum Dimensions of Reinforced Concrete Cantilever Beams

AuthorsAbdel Kareem M Al-Shammaa, Sohaib K Al-Mamoori
JournalIOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, Volume 1094, 1st International Conference
Abstract

This theoretical study focused on cantilever reinforced concrete beams with a rectangular cross-section (different dimensions) subjected to bending moments due to uniformly distributed loads. By creating an algorithm and using the Python 3.4 software, the beams' length was calculated for each cross-section dimension to check the required immediate and sustained deflections according to ACI 318M-19. Based on the analysis output, a graphical relationship was developed between the dimensions of the cantilever beam's cross-section versus the maximum length to control the allowable deflection of the beam. Finally, the author was able to draw a simplified novel graph to facilitate the selection of cross-sections required for specified lengths of cantilever concrete beams.

The relationship between traffic congestion and land uses: A case study of Al-Kut city, Iraq

Authors Jasim, Ihsan Abbas , Mahmood, Thaer Sh. Al-Mamoori, Sohaib K Al-Maliki, Laheab A
JournalJournal of Urban Regeneration & Renewal
Abstract

Traffic congestion is one of the major problems that contemporary cities need to address. Decision makers in cities, interested in finding appropriate strategic solutions to a very complex problem, are faced with an ever greater headache each year. The solutions available should not cost billions of dollars or lead to the construction of bridges or tunnels that move the problem from one place to another, thereby creating new bottlenecks. Individuals who drive in these congested areas often sit for long periods in traffic, and this leads to physical and emotional stress as well as decreased performance and productivity. This study constructed a mathematical model that illustrates the relationship between traffic congestion and the distribution of land use in the city of Al-Kut, demonstrating that land use planning can have a significant impact on congestion levels in the near and long term.

Reliability Analysis of Anchored Geotechnical Structures for the Design Limit States

AuthorsSohaib K Al-Mamoori , Laheab A. Al-Maliki Khaled El-Tawel
JournalWASIT JOURNAL OF ENGINEERING SCIENCES
Abstract

Reliability has been considered of magnificent importance in engineering design specially in geotechnical engineering due to the unpredictable conditions of soil layers. It is essential to establish well- designed failure modes that could guarantee safety and durability of the proposed structure. This study aims to suggest a reliability analyses procedure for retaining walls by the mean of a reliability index β using the specifications of AASHTO Bridge Design 2002, Eurocode 7, and DIN EN 1993-5 norms. Two failure modes; Tensile failure of tendon (G1) and Failure by bending (G2) were studied and compared by using equation of the Design Limit State (DLS) and by taking some basic geotechnical parameters as Random Variables RV. The analyses demonstrated that the reliability index β and probability of failure Pf are the most important parameter in the reliability analysis. Also, the suitable height (H) for the retaining structure (for all angles ϴ) equals to 6 m and the most critical angle is ϴ= 45º to prevent the failure by tensile of tendon. While the bending failure reliability analysis shows that all heights of retaining structure are suitable. After comparing the two cases it was found that (G1) is more dangerous than (G2).

Geotechnical Maps for Angle of Internal Friction of An-Najaf Soil-Iraq Using GIS

AuthorsSohaib Kareem Al-Mamoori , Sabreen L. Kareem Laheab A. Al-Maliki
JournalWASIT JOURNAL OF ENGINEERING SCIENCES
Abstract

The angle of internal friction value (φ) is used to describe the soil resistance to shear failure. It is estimated experimentally either from Direct Shear Test or Triaxial Stress Tests. Because of the high cost needed for conducting field tests, it has become essential to find alternative and practical methods to predict soil characteristics for non-spatial data areas. The objective of this study is to specify the best interpolation method to predict the angle of internal friction and use it to produce geotechnical maps for parts of An-Najaf province-Iraq; these parts are the city centre An-Najaf and Kufa city. Furthermore, the study describes the strength and type of soil strata. The results show that the Local Polynomial Interpolation (LPI) is the ultimate and the most significant method to interpolate the angle of internal friction. Moreover, the angle of internal friction φ values is ringing between (20-46) degrees, which represent medium to dense soil resistance to shear, while the mean values of φ ranged between 34.3 - 36.18 and represent good resistance to shear failure. This indicates that the Density of Sand is medium to dense, and N60 values range from 10-50. This kind of map would ease the engineers and decision-makers to decide the suitability of the construction site to carry loads, and the selection the foundation type. The benefits also extend to selecting urban expansion alternatives and for the delimitation of future trends for land-use-development processes in the metropolitan area of An-Najaf city, mainly at local and regional scales.

AuthorsLaheab A. Jasem Al-Maliki, Sohaib Kareem Al-Mamoori Khaled El-Tawel, Hussain M. Hussain Nadhir Al-Ansari Mohammed Jawad Al Ali6
Journal Engineering Journal
Abstract

An-Najaf province is situated in south-western part of Iraq. It is 70 meters above the sea level in the dry desert environment. The city is considered as one of the most important cities in Iraq, facing a fast population growth and continuous development in constructions such as residential complexes, hotels, bridges and shopping malls. Soil investigation data for An-Najaf Province (An-Najaf and Kufa cities) from 464 boreholes drilled by the National Centre for Construction Laboratories & Researches (NCCLR)/Babylon laboratory were used in this research. The data were analysed and possessed using Excel program then represented on the Geographical Information System (GIS) program by Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW) tool to create an allowable bearing capacity map for the soil at depths 0 - 2 meters. The allowable bearing capacity is one of the most important soil characteristics to be considered when making a database for An-Najaf city soil. Geographical Information System GIS program enables to create reliable database for any characteristic and it is one of the best programs to produce an accurate map and allow ease in dealing with it. Those maps cover all the studied areas and by using contour lines, approximate values for no-data areas can be obtained. The results show that the allowable bearing capacity range is 5 - 20 Ton/m2 for both An-Najaf and Kufa cities. Kufa city has the range 5 - 9 Ton/m2. An-Najaf city has the range 7 - 18 at the center, 8 - 10 Ton/m2 at the north eastern part, 7 - 14 Ton/m2 for the north western part, 6 - 12 Ton/m2 at the south eastern and 12 - 19 Ton/m2 at the south western.

JournalKUFA JOURNAL OF ENGINEERING
Abstract

AN-Najaf city is located 61 meters above the sea level in the dry desert of Iraq. It is one of the most important cities in Iraq due to religious tourism and continuously developing urban areas by constructing multi-storey buildings, bridges and shopping malls. This study aims to create a mapping database for sulfate in An-Najaf soil (Najaf centred and Al-Kufa cities’ soil). To evaluate the spatial variability of data, 464 boreholes and in situ tests were selected and analysed using Geographic Information System ArcGIS 10.2.1. The adopted method consisted of four steps: (1) data collection; (2) geotechnical data georeferencing; (3) interpolation methods and (4) establishment of maps. Nine maps were produced for depths 0-35 m for sulfate content in soil. In addition to two maps for sulfate content in groundwater and organic matter content for depths 0-2. Results showed that all the study area and for depths 0-2 meter has very high sulfate content in the soil. Sulfate values varies between 0.36%- 14% where all the results were higher than the permissible limit which is 0.2%. The sulfate content decreases with the depth yet still effective in some areas. Therefore, precautions have to be adopt to avoid risks. One of the precautions is to use sulfate resistance Portland cement (SRPC) for all concrete works that have contact with soil. Groundwater sulfate content in the study area was ranging between 84-239 %. These values were ineffective because they are lower than the permissible limit, which is 1460%. The organic matter content values vary between 0.05-2.34, the greatest part of the study area was lower than the permissible limit 1% and therefore ineffective. The PH values indicate that all the study area was alkaline so it is uninfluential.

Abstract

The main objective of the paper is to create geotechnical maps for three soil chemical properties in An-Najaf and Kufa cities’ soil by utilizing of GIS tools. This properties are the chloride concentration, calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and total soluble salts where they affect the durability of reinforced structural elements. This paper provides an easy accurate way to represent soil properties levels for different depths of soil and create reliable database that will help engineers and decision makers. The data included in this paper were collected for (464) boreholes with depths up to 35 m distributed on residential areas in all of An-Najaf and Kufa cities. Arc-Map of GIS 10.2.1 was used to produce the maps. It has been concluded that chloride content in the soil of the study area range from − 0.01 to 0.99% and with an average of 0.5. The maximum value found in at depth 4–6 m while the minimum value found in location at depth 4–6, 8–10 and 14–16 m. The chloride content in most of An-Najaf province has exceeded the permissible limit and for all, this required taking percussions to protect foundations. While calcium carbonate content in the soil of the study area range from 53 to 0.18 and with an average of 26.6. The maximum and the minimum values found at depth 4–6 m. Calcium carbonate content is within the permissible limits in most locations except in some locations.

Abstract

Day after day smart-government applications are increasing and being used in all aspects of life. The growing impact in the future on the reality of the city is expected to lead to the emergence of what could be called an intelligent or smart life that would make it impossible to control the management of cities and deliver services within the traditional concepts without introducing new active components. Cities are experiencing nowadays a new revolution, different from the emergence of urban life or the industrial revolution. It is the smart information revolution. If some of the traditional approaches are now valid in dealing with the management of cities and municipal services delivery following that the smart government applications have become a reality in urban management in developed countries and have led to increasing the efficiency of cities and facilitated life dramatically, that these communities lived through technical development step by step. All e-government applications were invented technological solutions to problems faced by these communities, which increase the effectiveness of these communities and improve their productivity and provide services more efficiently. But when applying these ideas in our countries (Third World countries), how the response to these techniques would be, will the benefits therefrom will be as efficient as in the country of origin. Ambiguity of city management and the provision of services in the future as a result of the introduction of technological revolution advances, and shifting to directions that cannot be understood without realizing the impact of this revolution on the various aspects of life represent the issue of this research. Therefore, the research has aimed to investigate or to attempt to predict the role of modern technological electronic developments in shaping the cities of the future and delivering services thereto, as well as their role in the management of these cities and the provision of services. The research assumes that the information and communications technology will help facilitate the provision of information and services, and the increased accuracy will impact in one way or another the human life in its social, behavioral and economic aspects and thus will be reflected on the structure of the city and its spaces similarly to what happened in Western countries. The study structure consists of two parts: the first part presents the theoretical framework for the smart cities terms and the impact of these technologies on cities and the provision of services. The second part (practical part) has chosen the city of Al-Kut (as a model for Arab cities and Third World cities) and tried to investigate the impact of these technologies looking ahead into the coming twenty-five years through a questionnaire, which included managers, researchers and academics in this specialization who have a clear idea of analysis and prediction regarding this domain. Through comparing the results of the questionnaire that dealt with the details of the impact of these technologies on all aspects of the city (already in place) with the ideal case, the study is reaching a number of conclusions and recommendations.

Journalمجلة الكوفة الهندسية | KUFA JOURNAL OF ENGINEERING
Abstract

In this study, a specified area of Al-Hussainia sector (which is the middle sector of Al-Dalmaj irrigation project in Kut city/ Iraq) has been selected tobe evaluated for its water suitability to irrigate cotton plant. The evaluation include: first Chemical evaluation of drainage water, second Analysis of drainage water by Aq.Qa software, and third computations of Leaching requirements for cotton crop. For the chemical evaluation the most important indicators for the salinity problem considered are (Electrical Conductivity, Total Dissolved Solids, Sodium Adsorption Ratio (SAR) and Sodium Content). The analysis of the hydrochemical results by Aq.Qa program shows that the internal consistency of the samples was acceptable. It is concluded that in the months July to October most of the measured concentrations of the tested elements were greater than the other four months because in hot weather the evaporation will increase which decrease the quantity of dissolved oxygen in water which cause the increase in concentrations of these elements. However the drainage water of Al-Hussainia sector can be used directly to irrigate cotton without reducing the yield with leaching requirement of 0.18 for location 1, leaching fraction of 0.17 needed for locations 2 and 6, while a leaching fraction of 0.16 should be provided for locations 3 ,4 ,and 5. However there is no need to mix the drainage water with fresh water.

Abstract

يلعب الإرهاب دورا كبير وخطير في حياتنا المعاصرة وقد اصبح من الطبيعي الآن أن نسمع أن عبوة ناسفة قد انفجرت في مكان ما، قنبلة أو سيارة مفخخة وهلم جرا، لذلك فان خطر الإرهاب سيكون له أثر كبيرا على شكل المدن وانماط الحياة الحضرية . فخلال العقد المنصرم تزايدت الهجمات الارهابية في جميع انحاء العالم ، واستجابة لهذا الخطر تغيرت العديد من معالم المدن . فهناك عدد متزايد باطراد من سكان العالم يعيشون في المراكز الحضرية ومسألة الأمن وسلامة المواطنين في المناطق المكتظة بالسكان هو أمر بالغ الأهمية ومصدر قلق متزايد. ونظرا لتزايد الإرهاب وسيناريوهات الحوادث على نطاق واسع، فالمفترض ان يوفر التخطيط الحضري التدابير الأمنية المناسبة لزيادة الامن ومواجهة التحديات، فالمدن معرضة بشكل خاص لضغوط هذه التهديدات عند السكان المدنيين باي عنوان وكذلك عندما يتم استهداف بنيتها التحتية المعقدة والمتطورة ويتم تدمير الأنظمة التي تصبح غير قابلة للتشغيل. لسوء الحظ لا يوجد حل تقني ناجع لضعف السكان بمواجهة الهجمات الارهابية ، اذ ان المدينة مكان مغلق يمكن ان يصبح فخ يصعب الخروج منه عند مواجهه التهديدات . يفترض التعامل مع الإرهاب كظاهرة مستمرة وتغيير القياسات، المعالم والتصاميم، بما في ذلك الهندسة المعمارية والتصميم الحضري، وصولا الى تغيير حتى خصائص المواد المستعملة في التشييد . ان على المخططين والمعماريين التفكير في كيف؟ لماذا؟ وأين؟ يكون موقع المستوطنات وانشاء هياكل جديدة تقاوم هجوم الإرهاب في المستقبل وايجاد وسائل جديدة من التصميم الذي على الأقل يقلل من حجم الهجمات والأضرار، ويمكن تطبيقها على أي منطقة أو بناية يمكن أن تكون هدفا لهجمات الإرهاب. تبرز اهمية هذه الورقة لزيادة الهجمات الارهابية في جميع مدن العراق والتي استهدفت المدن والتجمعات الاكثر اكتظاظا بالسكان، ولندرة البحوث التي تربط بين بين التخطيط الحضري والارهاب كانت هذه الورقة التي تهدف الى القاء الضوء على الطريق التي يمكن ان يكون التخطيط والتصميم الحضري اداة لتقليل اضرار الارهاب، بافتراض ان الطرق الجديدة في التخطيط والتصميم الحضري يمكن ان تعيق تنفيذ وتقلل اضرار الهجمات الارهابية .

ان التخطيط الاسكاني للمجمعات السكنية ومجاوراتها والبيئة المحيطة يهدف الى تحقيق الاستدامة من خلال التوازن بين التنمية والحفاظ على البيئة في النجف وخاصة في بناء المجمعات السكنية في القرى العصرية ومنها مجمع النور . والتخطيط الاسكاني البيئي يمثل رؤية واعية تعمل كضابط للخطط البيئية والاسكانية في توفير طموح مستدام لتحقيق رفاهية وحياة مريحة ونظيفة بيئيا لساكني المجمعات السكنية والتي تستهدف استخدام موارد البيئة بما يحقق لها الاستخدام المتوازن والامن والانتعاش البيئي في الحاضر وفي المستقبل من جانب تحقيق التنمية البيئية المستدامة . وإن اختيار الموقع الملائم للمجمع السكني ينبغي ان ينطلق من مفهوم تخطيط المناطق والمجمعات السكنية في المدن وخاصة النواحي البيئية للمناطق التي تحدد بناءاً على التخطيط العام للمدينة عن طريق دراسة وتحليل القوانين المحددة لاستعمال الارض الاقتصادي والبيئي في المباني السكنية،وان الحصول على موقع ملائم للسكن لا يتم إلاّ بعد اجراء دراسات تقارنه وتقيمه مع العديد من المواقع بحيث يكون الموقع السكني المختار مستوفياً للمتطلبات الملائمة للحياة الحضرية ، لهذا فان القواعد الاساسية في اختيار الموقع السكني تخضع الى عوامل طبيعية وبيئية واقتصادية . حيث تضمنت الدراسة القيام بزيارة المجمع وعمل مسح ميداني للمجمع ودراسة الجانب الاسكاني والجانب البيئي من خلال المجاورات والبيئة المحيطة التي تمثلت بالاثار البيئية العالية من تواجد المصانع والملوثات بانواع مختلفة حسب المصادر التي اوجدها البحث في تلك المنطقة وكونها منطقة غير صالحة للسكن وذا موقع غير مراعي للمعايير والجوانب البيئية والانسانية لكونه ضمن منطقة سلبية ومريضة بيئيا ، ووضع الستراتيجيات التي من شانها النهوض بالواقع الاسكاني البيئي المستدام في القرى العصرية بنظرة تخطيطية اقتصادية بيئية متكاملة ومتفاعلة ، واعتمدت الدراسة على المنهج الوصفي والتحليلي وتحليل البيانات والدراسات المعتمدة من قبل دوائر الدولة ذات العلاقة والمعايشة الميدانية، والمقابلات الشخصية مع المسؤولين وسكان المنطقة فضلا عن الاعتماد على البحوث والدراسات العملية المعتمدة، والمنشورة. وقد بينت نتائج الدراسة الى ان التخطيط الاسكاني البيئي المستدام من شأنه ان يحقق الفوائد والعائدات الماليه و المعنويه ويحقق اهداف الاستدامه ( الاجتماعية والبيئية والاقتصادية ) وبالتالي تطور البيئة والاسكان معا في المنطقة عن طريق تقييم الاثار البيئية للواقع البيئي وموقع اقامة المجمعات السكنية البيئية وخاصة عند اختيار الموقع للمجمع وكيف ممكن تطويع الواقع البيئي وتغييره للنهوض به بيئيا وجعله جاذب لكل انسان يطمح في الحصول على بيئة اسكانية نظيفة خالية من الاثار البيئية للمجاورات وفيها تتحقق وتطبق مؤشرات وسمات القرى والمدن المستدامة ، بالاضافة الى استغلال الاماكن المتروكه وتطبيق مفاهيم ومؤشرات ومعايير الاستدامه البيئيه في مجمع النور .

Abstract

يعتبر استعمال الارض لغرض المقابر من الاستعمالات المرتبطة بالإنسان وتخصص جميع مدن العالم مساحات من الارض لهذا الاستعمال في مكان واحد وربما توجد في الكثير من المدن أكثر من مقبرة واحدة خصوصا إذا اتسعت مساحة المدن، او إذا تنوعت الاثنيات فيها الامر الذي يتطلب توفير مقابر متعددة لكل فئة. لكن خصوصية مقبرة وادي السلام في النجف الاشرف من كون الطائفة الشيعة في جميع انحاء العراق )وحتى من خارج العراق( يقصدون هذه المقبرة تبركا بمقام امير المؤمنين عي عليه السلام. ولذلك اخذ حجمها يزداد باستمرار ليصل الى سبعة ملايين قبر وهذه الزياد مستمرة بشكل كبير. تأتي هذه الورقة لأبداء بعض الاقتراحات لتطوير هذه المقبرة، للارتقاء بالخدمات التي توفرها للزائرين وتقليل السلبيات التي قد تنتج عن هذا النشاط. ولتاتي اهمية هذه الورقة من عدم وجود اي دراسات او بحوث في هذا الموضوع. ربما لان هناك دوافع ذاتية تجعل الكثير من الباحثين يعزفون عن تناول هذا الموضوع لأنه يذكرنا بنهاية رحلتنا على الارض والتي يتحاشى الكثير التفكير بها، لكن في النهاية فان المقابر هي أحد الانشطة البشرية ومن الاستعمالات التي تتطلب توفير مساحات من الارض لها وبالتالي تكون لها علاقات وظيفة مع بقية الاستعمالات في المدينة. من جانب اخر وحسب الخصوصية في العراق فان هذه الاستعمالات تجذب رحلات مستمرة من الاسكان ومن جميع انحاء العراق وبمناسبات عديد، لتصل الى مرحلة الازدحامات داخل المقبرة. ان تخطيط المقابر الهدف منه ليس اكرام الموتى بشكل ملائم فقط، بل لتوفير ظروف ملائمة لزائرين هذه المقابر، كونها تخدم أيضا احتياجات المجتمع العاطفية والدينية والثقافية. وتعبيرا عن ثقافة الشعب وهويته والمقابر تضم شواهد مهمة التي تسمح للمجتمع بالتعرف على تاريخهم وحضارتهم. كما تظهر فيها المهارات الحرفية والآثار والفنون التي من غير المحتمل أن تتكرر. لكل هذه الأسباب، حفظ وتطوير المقابر يفترض ان يكون هدفا رئيسيا من اهداف المخططين المكانيين. ولان المقابر ترتبط بالمدن فان المخطط الحضري لابد ان يستعين بأدواته ومناهجه لا يجاد الحلول المناسبة لتطوير هذه المناطق وهذا ما يمثل هدف الورقة. ومع اختيار مقبرة وادي السلام من قبل اليونسكو الى قائمة التراث العالمي، فان هناك فرصة لوضع هذا الموضوع على طاولة البحث، لان اليونسكو تهتم بالجانب التراثي. بينما هذه الورقة تفترض ان التخطيط والادارة الجيدة للمقابر تساهم في تحسين الاستدامة وتحسين البيئة الحضرية.

Abstract

المياه هي واحدة من أثمن الموارد في العالم ، ومع ذلك فهو تحت تهديد مستمر بسبب تغير المناخ وما ينتج عنها من الجفاف ، والنمو السكاني الهائل، والنفايات. هناك قلق كبير بان نوعية المياه في تغير. ولكن ليس هناك أية رقابة رسمية عن ماهية التغير ، او في أي اتجاه أو معدل. وقد ساهمت المناقشات في منظمة الأغذية والزراعة والعديد من المحافل الدولية في النقاش الدائر حول مؤشرات التنمية المستدامة . ويرجع ذلك جزئيا إلى مجموعة من الفوائد و التخصصات المعنية ، وليس هناك حتى الآن توافق في الآراء بشأن السمات المحددة لمؤشرات الاستدامة أو مواطن القوة والضعف . كيفية استخدام المؤشرات يمكن أن يساعد على تحديد المشاكل الهامة و النجاحات أو قد يؤدي إلى لبس أو سوء فهم. إن الحاجة إلى الموارد المائية في العراق في تزايد مستمر نتيجة للنمو السكاني والتطور الاقتصادي والاجتماعي يقابله نقص في الموارد المائية نتيجة لتوسع استثمار الموارد المائية في الدول المتشاطئة على الأنهار التي ترد إلى العراق . ومن الحقائق الموضوعية ان صعوبات حقيقية تواجه القائمين على السياسات المائية والزراعية في العراق في العقد الاخير من القرن العشرين وخاصة فيما يتعلق بالجفاف الذي القى بضلاله على العراق ومعظم دول الجوار اضافة الى انخفاض واضح في تصريف نهري دجلة والفرات داخل الاراضي العراقية. وعلى الرغم من التراجع الواضح في كمية الموارد المائية المتحققة في العراق سواء منها المتأتية من نهري دجلة والفرات ومن خارج الحدود العراقية او من الجانب الايراني فان الموارد الذاتية المتحققة في العراق قد تراجعت هي الاخرى بسبب ظروف الجفاف وشملت الروافد والمياه الجوفية ومعدلات الخزن في السدود والخزانات وذلك للعلاقة الوثيقة بين سقوط الامطار وتوفر المياه من هذه المصادر. تهدف هذه الورقة الى القاء نظرة عن الواقع المائي العراقي وتحديد مؤشرات لاستدامة المياه.

Abstract

Developing countries suffer from the effects of climate change on water resources more than other countries. This paper aims to specify the undergraduates’ knowledge about climate change effects on water resources. This study was conducted through a questionnaire distributed using Google form in May 2021. Descriptive analysis was used to display the level of awareness, and then the correlation between the respondents’ gender, stage, and scientific specialization were analyzed. The results showed that the general knowledge for all questionaries ranged between 40 and 50 %. Moreover, a weak positive correlation with the highest Spearman’s rho of 0.15 was shown for the students’ gender with their understanding of climate change main cause by 0.06 for the academic stage versus knowledge of climate change causes. Moreover, the results indicated a weak role for university education in exchange for a prominent role for television and social media in raising awareness. The research recommends integrating the Environmental Education (EE) programs into the Iraqi educational systems as it proposes a systematic educational method through which climate change and other environmental problems may be addressed holistically at all educational levels.

Abstract

In this research, an evaluation of the problem of interior and external noise pollution and its effects on human health was presented in the district of Ghammas (Al-Hussein neighborhood), where internal and external noise pollution was measured for land uses (residential, commercial, industrial, health, educational and transportation roads) for two periods. This study proved that noise exists in the Al-Hussein neighborhood despite its varying levels. The noise in most uses was characterized by its levels that exceeded the health and international limits, and its levels ranged, according to its samples in the neighborhood, between the disturbing noise category and the medium disturbance, according to the time of its measurements.
