This paper presents the methods of designing a model to determine the appropriate points to build fire towers extended on an area of Syrian Arab Republic, in order to monitor and early warning the forest fire. This helps the authorities' process of extinguishing the fire as it arises and thereby protect our forest from fire that destroys thousands of hectares every year. The model has been designed using the tools of Spatial Analysis available in ArcGIS program. These tools have been applied to evaluate the performance of the fire towers in the studied area, and to suggest new sites for fire towers in this region in order to increase the vision of the area. We calculate the area of visible areas covered by the suggested fire towers. We finally customize the parameters of the model to be applied for different areas using different input data, so the users of the model simply can enter the parameters of their own area and apply the model.

This study includes a full analysis of climatic, vegetation, and topographical factors in Nabe Matta preserve (Drekish Region – Tartous Governorate – Syria), which is considered as the most important factors affecting forest fires. The data were coll ected for each fire and analyzed by statistical programs (SPSS) and (EXCEL), and the relationship between these multiple factors and the phenomenon of recurrence of fire in one area (fire risk region) was studied. Then the data and the results of the analysis and multi relationship had been studied within the geographic information system software (GIS) to obtain the map of fire risk region, as well as results from topographic maps (1:50.000), aerial photographs (1:25.000), and the needed maps were designed for the study such as (slope map - aspect map - vegetation cover map - infrastructure map - fire risk region map),then places of monitoring towers and centers of rapid intervention in high-risk areas have been proposed for the occurrence of fires. These maps are considered as warning systems and with it we can predict the probability of any fire in the Preserve when the appropriate conditions are provided for it.
This paper presents the producing of touristic tour using tourist data and management the data in GIS environment by using the extension network analyst in ARCGIS to find the better time routine with time as obstacle. The base map was the tourist m ap for Tartous with scale 1:250 000. DTM and several three dimension data was generated for studying area for helping people to know nature of the area, by using the topographic map for Tartous with scale 1/250000 . Also, in this research the spatial tourist data base was generated for Tartous province using GIS which contains data about road, town, ruins sites, services ( like oil stations, restaurants and hotels and others serve the tourist). Network analyst was applied on ruins sites in Tartous province to calculate the better routine from the hotel to supposed several ruins sites. The integration between tourist data and ArcGIS software with its extension network analyst can help for obtaining better touristic services by determining the better touristic tour to visit the desirable touristic sites in short time.
With the increasing population, the rising standards of living, industrial progress and rapid technological advancement, solid waste has varied and increased in amount as a result of various human activities. Thus, waste disposal has become one of the main problems facing cities and human populations because of the dangers posed by this waste to the environment and natural resources and health. Therefore, the development of an integrated management system for solid waste has become one of the most important elements of urban development strategies. Traditional management of municipal solid waste disposal, which includes collection, transfer and backfilling or burning operations, has evolved the concept of disposal of solid waste during the previous decades and begun waste management programs that focus on the use of computer programs such as geographic information systems, which help environmental planning for cities, and selection of the most optimal and economical solutions and. This study includes the use of geographic information systems software technology in the planning and selection of the optimal paths to collect and relay solid waste containers in the city of Latakia. In fact, selecting these routes undergoes the equations of length and time as to choose the shortest path, taking into account traffic regulations and diesctions in the streets. As for time, it takes the shortest path in terms of speeds specified for each road.
This essay displays one of probabilities at Geographical Information System (GIS) as a decision support system to select the best way to carry project's remainders (excavations and garbage of works), in addition to observing topographic character istics of the study area and the nature of roads which are existed formerly and imposed bonds at the movement of machines as free as possible, As a result, we will obtain the saving economical way to carry, which is a tied goal equation with groups of related bonds about the actual of different ways, and that is accomplished by Geographical Information System. Therefore, it is possible to consider this system as a help tool to improve the effective of approval decision to shorting time at engineering projects.
The soil water erosion risk is one of the most important problems and challenges facing the agricultural process in the Syrian coast today. The aim of this study was to determine the spatial distribution of dangerous areas of water erosion in the basin of the Mrqyieh River using CORINE model. To achieve this objective, the first phase of the study was to evaluate the soil erosion viability based on soil characteristics (soil texture, soil depth and percentage of stones); these properties were classified according to their influence degree on soil erosion. The potential risk erosion map was based on crossing all information obtained from soil erodibility, erosivity index and the degree of slope at study area by using GIS technologies. The land cover map of the study was produced and classified to two classes depending on soil protection degree. Then, an actual risk map of soil erosion was prepared after crossing land cover and potential risk erosion classes of study sites. This study showed that 14.8% of the studied area facing high risk of soil erosion, while the soil risk was moderate in 40.4% and low in 44.8% of the study area. The highly risked erosion area was located in the center, northern and northwest parts of the study area. Moreover, the study confirmed that the land cover is the most influential factor on soil water erosion. The results showed that the Corine model for soil water erosion mapping is a highly effective and cost-effective approach
