The Master Plans are one of the main tools for sustainable urban development to
counter the effects of growing urbanization in the cities. But, at the same time, the process
of its preparing is the challenge to those concerned, especially in the ab
sence of standards
that embody the principles of urban sustainable. So, research started from the issue of
developing contemporary standards for preparing a sustainable master plan that achieves
the terms of Sustainability, and it adopted a reference study about the terminology and
theoretical concepts related to sustainable urban development, principles and sustainable
master plan and its objectives and areas of work. It adopted the International Planning
Standards adopted by various countries and international organizations specialized in
preparing Master Plans that contribute in creating more sustainable cities.
In the case of Latakia, it was found that the Master Plan, which was prepared in 2008
according to the Proposed Schematic Program for land uses, achieves only (51%) of the
conditions of sustainability; this figure does not meet the needs of Lattakia in the short
term and long term; it is also clear that the administrative side of the planning operation is
the main reasons that led to the unsuccessful master plan; in other words, the work,
according to the traditional planning standards and the limited laws and legislations, is not
enough, but must be accompanied by action planning and contemporary administrative
standards based on urban sustainability.
Inhabitants' increase in the governorate of Daraa has great effect on civil
development, as it is the case in other governorates of Syria, this is quite evident
in the increase of inhabitants in civil centers, and its horizontal extension
continuo
usly.
Due to the importance of this subject, I studied it, where the research
included a survey of its problem that the continuous inhabitants' increase has
been the cause of the increase of the number and volume of civil centers during
the period between 1970-2010, where the rate of civilization increased by 14.3%
to 41.6% The number of inhabitants in the governorate is expected to reach
(1.631.005) inhabitants in the year 2025. that's with an increase of 505.005
inhabitants. The research included its importance, objective and courses, the
developed number of inhabitants in the governorate, and effective factors that
affect it, with the increasing number of civil centers. In addition to studying
indications of civil development such as education, health, culture, services,
industry, housing, then discussed their problems and impediments, such as the
increasing rates of inhabitants, the random housing, environmental pollution,
then presenting future suggestions and solutions for them.
The comprehensive and urban development has many of aspects in
saltanate Omman, these aspects correspond in growing and developing
these cities and in increasing is its size because of the natural growing for
population and the coming emigration .
