Radon is a radioactive gas, occurring naturally as a decay product of uranium .Radon is the second cause of lung cancer according to EPA and WHO estimates. The presence of cracks plays a major role in transmission of radon from depth to the surface of the earth and steams it into the air.The leakage of radon from the foundation soils is usually the primary source of indoor radon pollution. Due to the growth of urban population in active tectonic regions and because tectonic activity is accompanied by an increase in radon concentration; the emission of radon in these regions and its leakage into houses will be higher thus,it becomes necessary to conduct researches in those regions and take appropriate preventive and corrective actions to reduce the presence of radon in the houses and in foundation soils. The importance of this research comes from benefiting from measurements of the change of radon concentration and its implications from both Geotechnical and Geo-environmental aspects.

During the past few decades , the urban boundaries of many Arab cities expanded, and their residential areas expanded due to increasing in the population density and the expansion of economic activity, in addition to prevailing building system, and d ecreasing in the supply of the suitable lands for constructions and its high price, all this led to the spread of multy-storey residential buildings in attached and closely patterns, even it becomes the prevailing and approved system of construction system, without regarding the requirements of social human needs, in the design of external spaces, which in turn results in loosing the social relations among the inhabitants. Paper’s hypothesis: The pattern and style of surrounding spaces design in residential buildings of contemporary architecture without taking into account of the social factor, is one of the most important reasons for the shortcomings of the social vitality of these areas. This paper is based on studying these spaces in social function by extrapolating the performance of few models and analyzing them in order to reach an interactive and dynamic relationship between a human and his residential environment ,and community, within the borders of an apartment building and surrounding external spaces.

Research summary: The monuments have gained its importance via being a sensible witness to assist in studying the evolution of civilization, and a fertile material for advancing the scientific research and enriching the historical information, it is also raw material for the industry of tourism, as the country's wealth of tourism resources depends on its fortune of the heritage attributes, the past and the monuments, as well as how smartly and adequately the care is taken for this heritage. Therefore, the international organizations have paid a huge attention for the culture heritage and have worked diligently to protect and preserve it as this heritage is considered the belonging of all humanity. The restoration and reviving the function of the historic buildings are one of the most important methodologies of archaeological preservation and modernization of the culture property. Moreover, it supports the development of the region in terms of service and social aspects, tourism and economic developments. This research sheds the light on some of the local experiences in the restoration of archaeological residential buildings and determines the pros of these experiments on the archaeological apartment building and the cons of the random studying and executive implementation in some of the buildings.
The architectural design process is a repetitive process that the architect repeatedly undertakes to obtain a satisfactory architectural vocabulary or architectural product. This taming process starts according to three frameworks of this design? W here is this design? How will it be implemented over time? And the possibility of developing and improving it to meet the latest developments. In this research, we try to follow the process of repetition with a smart mechanism that can (by ensuring the status of the positive development of the design through the degrees of efficiency of human needs, and gradually seek to increase these grades in the process of taming subject to intelligent gradation guaranteeing high degrees of efficiency), which can be followed for the students of architecture in addition to professional architects In order to improve and develop to meet the needs in abundance Keywords: Architectural Taming, Architectural Structure.
Architectural design process is relatively complex considered due to the different content with users difference, therefore, each design has its own advantages that are difficult to standardize the process, as some have seen as architectural design that is a process of producing a one-time, making it difficult architectural design quality measurement result of not atypical The criteria used. Architectural design will be addressed as a result of a series of decisions on the key aspects that make up the elements of quality in design and that it must work to improve the quality of any design process. The research presents a theoretical study on the global architectural design used for quality assessment tools (eg DQI, DEEP, AEDET, HQI, LEED, BREEAM, BQA) to see the certified quality standards in each tool as a step towards the formation of a general framework for the concept of the architectural design of residential buildings quality of during a field study of the standards derived to determine the architectural design standards for residential buildings in Latakia The research found a set of standards governing the quality of the architectural design of residential buildings in Lattakia.
Latent heat storage is an economical way to achieve energy efficiency and improve thermal comfort in buildings. In this research, the effects of using PCM Wallboards in a residential apartment envelop located in Homs was studied by PCM Express so ftware. PCM wallboard with 23°C melting temperature was used and installed on the inner face of the walls and ceiling of the apartment. This investigation shows that the importance of using PCMs in buildings envelope, compared with conventional thermal insulation materials, due to the effectiveness of PCMs materials and storing and releasing of thermal energy, which contributed to reducing of thermal loads and improved the internal thermal comfort.
