Transport is one of the most critical areas of urban life and an essential base for developing and developingsocieties. It is a crucial indicator of the progress and development of cities and their great benefits. It saves from themovement of people and goods and the prosperity of the economy-social, economic and environmental issuesglobally and what we are witnessing in recent times. However, despite the tremendous advancement in technology,it continues to face numerous challenges in developed and developing nations, including our own. The absorptionof the irrigated volume and any defect in the gradient causes many problems such as congestion, delays, trafficjams and the accompanying psychological, economic, social and environmental effects, energy consumption,depletion of natural resources and lifestyle. So transportation has become a concern. And it became a topic ofconcern that imposes the need to think about the preparation and development of the transportation system towardssustainability based on meeting transportation needs. In light of the negative impacts of the sustainable planningengineering dimension on the urban road network in Ramadi and for the Iraqi cities, we have thus attempted tostudy the effect of this project, given the critical impact on sustainable development and the approach used bythinking people and scholars in their studies and documents in Agenda 2030. Through evaluating the data from theresearch region, which comprised 27 Ramadi neighbourhoods, and applying them to the statistical analysis software(SPSS), it discovers that the schematic engineering dimension indicator represented by the hierarchy has direct anddecisive connection significance. The local road area index achieved the most substantial linear relationship,followed by the collective, secondary and major roads indicators. They reached a medium relationship to formulatea sustainable development system based on Ramadi and other Iraqi cities. A decision is making about sustainableurban engineering transportation. And take an approach with whatever is good for the state.
The progress in technological earth observation field , using of satellite data and the development of computer software, lead to reduce effort and time to control the change in land uses especially after the increases in both accuracy and resolution of image data. This paper studies the urban development of falluja city since its construction (depending on the fact of land uses) and future directions for the development of the city. The above two trends are very important in supporting decisions of governorates, municipalities and government departments in the land uses management and control of building by using a new technique which treated with data and uses maps. The present study concluded that the use of remote sensing, geographic information system and mathematical models are very important to prepare master plan of cities with high efficiency.
Housing is one of the main concerns raising critical problems in the Kurdistan Region. Due to the fast growth of the urban population through the last period, the Kurdistan-Investment Board was ongoing in construction of effective amount of housing estates by investment companies. Due to the rapid increase in population, many housing estate projects neglected specific family requirements, with low commitment to housing standards, quality of dwellings, and the resident's lifestyles. This study investigates living space and services parts of dwellings in those estates, finding out the factors that direct residential satisfaction supported by fixing correlations among determinants of overall satisfaction. The adopted methodology consists of evaluation based on two steps, the first was by a technical assessment using checklist comparing spaces with Iraqi standards, while the second part was through survey of resident's satisfaction. Field data collection had consisted of a questionnaire list and data collection performed for five housing projects (10 types of dwelling units covered by eighty-three samples) selected in Erbil city. Then the questionnaire results were analyzed using the SPSS program using correlations, regression, and descriptive statistics. Low commitment to Iraqi Standards was obvious in most cases. Results also showed that dwellers were satisfied with their dwelling units in cases despite differences with Iraqi urban housing standards. For instance, in two bedrooms dwellings, areas of services were below the standard by 21% while the resident's satisfaction in this group varied between neutral and satisfied. It had been found a clear correlation between indicators of dwellings units’ spaces. The regression has shown that the indicators of the kitchen location's size and shape highly affected the householder's satisfaction. The descriptive statistics have shown the satisfaction level mostly been neutral in all projects. Finally, the study suggests some recommendations regarding dwelling units in addition to the need to amend the Iraqi standards of housing.
The car parking problem in Ramadi CBD Area is considered the important urban problems that the Ramadi city suffer especially in the CBD area. Traffic problems are the main challenge of the CBD areas which has direct relationship related to the city commercial use. The CBD main streets were chosen as a case study and the parking area on them were surveyed. The study explained that there is a sharp lack in the parking areas especially in the districts no. 4, 6, 7, and 9. The parking in the surveyed area are of on-street type. In this study there is number of conclusions, recommendations and suggestions for the short and long term projects related to this issue to put plans for solving this urban problem in Ra-madi CBD.
This research focuses on studying the speed flow density relationships which are considered the fundamental traffic flow relationships. The objective of the present study is to predict statistical models represent these relationships depending on a field survey data collected from Al-Thirthar road in Falluja city.Data were collected by using video-recording technique. The required data were abstracted, analyzed, grouped, and processed using computer programs developed for this purpose. Standard statistical analysis techniques were used to examine and analyze the observed data.FWASIM simulation traffic software program was used to verify the predicted traffic stream models, while the obtained results were presented in this research. To test the validity and reliability of the model, the output results of the predicated model were compared with the output data obtained from FWASIM model using similar input data and segment geometry. The comparison leads to consider that the developed regression model may be used to evaluate the performance of urban streets in Falluja city.
A sample of 50 randomly selected rural and urban roads of Ramadi district were observed for asphalt pavement Distresses. Three main types of Distresses were considered; rutting, cracks and pavement separation. In addition, different other Distresses types that were observed were grouped in one category named "Other". For each road, information about the age of the pavement was recorded. Kaplan-Meier method was carried out in order to understand the Remain time before pavement deterioration as well as to compare pavement service life with respect to the type of Distress. Results of this research revealed significant differences between pavement service life corresponding to the type of Distress. Pavement service life appeared to last less than 20 months when all the mentioned types of Distresses are occurred on the road
The city of Fallujah suffers from bad design in their network and it still dominated by the same pattern of the road and street network system that was produced by the previous stages of the development of the city, which is awaiting the necessary and appropriate solutions, which calls for planning to modernize the road network and streets in it that can accommodate the reality of the city’s condition and the proposed expansions for its subsequent urban growth. The transportation network in Fallujah city was chosen as a case study, the network was divided into roads and intersections, the evaluation included two main roads and eleven sectoral roads, eleven arterial roads, and twenty-five intersections. The network was evaluated in three stages, the first stage was traffic flow and service level, the second stage was evaluating the network in terms of road and intersections marking, while the third stage concerned with evaluating the network in terms of sustainability. The HCS 2010 program was applied to evaluate the first stage, while the second and third stages were evaluated based on the field survey. The results of the first stage showed that most parts of the network in the northern zone suffer from traffic problems and have a low level of service, while most parts of the network in the southern zone have a high service level and enjoy high traffic flow. Most parts of the network were suffered from bad marking, which causes many problems for the users of this network. Related to sustainability, we note a lack of interest on the part of designers or decision-makers. It was concluded that traffic solutions should be economically feasible for some parts of the network, which would lead to improving the network’s performance at the level of the three stages.
The role of strategic planning is particularly important in the development of trends graphic appropriate in the distribution of land uses for the city according to their importance and role in the development of the city. From this standpoint the idea of search to give the application of an analytical about how to adopt him graphical to insert the style of strategic planning and steps concatenated to give the relative importance of the distribution of applications and their role in the city's development in the future. two methods have been used in research assays are the factor analysis for the purpose of diagnosis and urban style quartet analysis SWOT developer + AHP for the purpose of determining the development priorities of the city and graphic orientation. Search concluded the conclusions and recommendations of the group serve the decision-makers and planners note that the study area to a city in Anbar province, Iraq (HIT) as a case study.
