تنبع أهمية هذا البحث من خلال الدور الحيوي الذي تلعبه نظم إدارة الرصف الطرقي Pavement Management Systems(PMS) بالتكامل مع نظم المعلومات الجغرافيةGeographic Information Systems(GIS) في تخطيط و إدارة الصيانة الطرقية في اللاذقية, للحصول على نظام محلي مرن يتبع منهجية جديدة في معالجة المعلومات و إظهارها عبر تقنيات الـGIS بالشكل الذي يساعد على اتخاذ القرار المتعلق بالصيانة. و لهذا الغرض نفذ بحث تجريبي لإدارة صيانة الرصف على مجموعة من الطرق التابعة للمؤسسة العامة للمواصلات الطرقية, حيث قسمت الطرق المدروسة إلى وصلات و قطاعات طرقية, ثم تم تقييم حالة سطح الرصف لها, بالاعتماد على طريقة معهد الإسفلت (Asphalt Institute Method), حيث تم التوصل بموجبها إلى مؤشر رقمي عن حالة الرصف, الذي دل بدوره على طريقة الصيانة اللازمة لذلك الرصف, و اعتمادا على نظم المعلومات الجغرافية تم تصميم و بناء قاعدة بيانات فاعلة خاصة بالطرق, تعكس واقع الطرق المدروسة و تمكننا من تخزين و تحليل و توثيق بيانات حالة سطح الرصف و ربطها بالخرائط الرقمية التي تم انجازها, و هذا ضمن الوصول السريع و المباشر إلى مختلف البيانات والحلول, عبر توزيع الطرق وفق قطاعات تظهر كل قطاع بلون يعكس حالته الفنية حسب الغاية من الخريطة و بالشكل الذي يساعد على اتخاذ القرار المتعلق بالصيانة .
This research highlights the vital role of Pavement Management Systems integrated with Geographic Information Systems in planning and managing road maintenance in Lattakia, and getting a flexible local system by following a new method in processing and viewing information that supports maintenance decision. This study included applying a pilot project for managing pavement maintenance over a group of roads following The General Establishment for Road Communications. Those roads were divided to links and segments then evaluated using the " Asphalt Institute Method ", which gave us a numeric pointer that led in turn to the type of maintenance needed for a particular pavement. In this research, we depended on the Geographic Information Systems to design and build a comprehensive database, that reflected the present condition of the studied roads, and enabled us to store, analyze and document pavement surface condition and link it to the digitized maps of the studied roads. This guaranteed easy and direct access to various kinds of data and solutions as every segment appeared in a different color reflecting its conditions according to the theme of the map. By doing so, we could support the process of taking right maintenance decisions.

The importance of this research lies in establishing an integrated system to support
decision making of bituminous road surface maintenance in Lattakia within the
environment of Geographic Information Systems, which leads to improve the level of
p
erformance and reach better conditions of road safety and comfort.
In a former research, the bituminous surface condition data was conducted and filled
in the Asphalt Institute Form by which we obtained an overall condition rating that led in
turn to the type of maintenance of each studied segment and link them to the digitized
maps where every segment appeared in a color reflecting its condition according to the
purpose of the map.
In this research we depended on the " Project Priority Methodology " to view and
query different alternatives to support decision making of which road segments should be
maintained first by using five categories each one gives us a weighing value, then we
collected the total weighed value for the five categories together, and link that to digitized
maps that guaranteed fast and direct reach to various solutions to choose the best, insuring
as a result that the traditional way in maintenance which begins with the worst segment is
not always the best, and that its time to move towards new pavement maintenance
management systems.
The eco-tourism is an important element in the economic and social development at
the both local and international levels. It represent an essential economic resource for the
governmental sector, so this research particularly important because it i
s looking for the
possibility of using GIS techniques in the protected areas management. The objective of
this study is to verify the GIS importance in creating data-base which is significant for
Naby Matta protected area managers; this data-base is basically helping in the development
of the ecotourism. The results of research confirmed the importance of geographic
information systems in designing of database and the various maps and its role in
determining the steps tourism development such as determining the places of assimilation
and classify it according of the visitors density, select the better tracks for pedestrians, the
appointment of entry points and restaurants, observation points, in addition to the
investment potential of geographic information systems in spatial analysis such as
proximity and distance analysis of particular point from another point, or search for a
particular tourist attraction and find it such as searching for the best spots to enjoy the
picturesque scenery away from sensitive environmental housing thus saving time and
effort and speed in the service of visitors.
3D models of historical sites and monuments are very interesting in archaeology and digital tourism fields. These models help archeologists document historical sites and analyze the relationships between their components. Moreover, 3D models constitu
te an attractive factor that encourages visiting sites and presents virtual information about cultural heritage.
In this paper, we propose an approach that uses capabilities of CAD (Computer Aided Design) and GIS (Geographic Information System) systems to construct spatial and semantic database for historical sites and modeling them in 3D. Users of the mentioned database can use it to gather information about sites and to navigate across them via the animation capabilities in GIS.
The proposed ideas will be applied on the historical site of Ras-SHAMRA in Lattakia. Spatial data concerning the site will be acquired form a topographic plan designed in 2004. These data will then be processed and introduced into GIS environment. ArcGIS software will be used to achieve an Archeological Information System (AIS) for the site and to construct a 3D model of the site and the royal palace.
The Drastic method has been used to assess the potential sensitivity of the
Groundwater In Lattakia basin using Arc GIS 9.2 Where the modified Drastic system has
been developed by combining the land uses and its divisions with general Drastic model
.As a result, final values of Drastic have been modulated into two categories "low and
moderate sensitivity"
It has been found that the introduction of the human criteriahas increased the
potentialof the moderate sensitivity of the Groundwater.
As a final result, the general content of the sensitivity map which has been
establishedfor Lattakia basin, showed, the domination of low sensitivity category in the
north western and the north eastern areas which has big location depths of the Groundwater
and high topographic altitudes.In contrast, the moderate sensitivity category dominated in
the southern areas of the study region.
The latter areas which are characterized by the existence of varied human activities
havelocation ofGroundwater levels close to the surface.
This study aims to identify the concept of Knowledge management as considering it
as one of the new management theory that many organization trying to apply it useful of
his advantage, also the aim was to identify the Knowledge procedures and cause
s of return
of libraries and information system to Knowledge management, in addition to identify
requester of Knowledge management application in the libraries. The research design was
the theory deism as most appropriate for this study. The results of this research show that
there was no significant different between libraries duties, information systems, and
Knowledge management procedures, also that the most important requisites of Knowledge
management application in libraries was existing of three elements which are:
organizational culture, organizational knowledge, knowledge management technology.
