Solid waste management is a complex problem facing decision makers in Tartous, especially in the process of selecting appropriate of solid waste land fill sites, because of the nature of the province that rich in natural resources and high population density. There is a large number of large landfills that aren’t in convenient locations, and affect to neighboring regions environment, adversely affect to the social life in the surrounding communities. In this research we identified the criteria that will be on the basis of evaluation of the locations of these landfills to achieve environmental, social and economic conditions. GIS was used to produce maps for each classification criterion separately to evaluate the landfills according to each criterion, in order to extract information from weighted map to get the appropriate locations. The study concluded that landfills sites unrealized for the majority of the standards, and to get a map showing the optimum locations of 18 sites with combined areas doesn’t exceed 0,012% of the total study area.

Determining the best location is a complex process that faces decision makers. In the City of Tartous, Syria, this problem springs while selecting the best location for wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) because of the large number of criteria and co nstrains and the uncertainty in expert's judgments. To solve this problem, we designed a frame work containing multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) technique that is fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) to handle the uncertainty situations and geographical information system (GIS) to determine the best location. In this paper, the FAHP idea was developed to calculate weights of the criterias, the GIS was used to overlay and generate criteria and suitability maps. The study ends with a map of the best sites for constructing wastewater treatment plants by extended aeration method in Tartous region in Syria.
Tartous governorate has many tourist attractions which led to the emergence of a range of tourist activities, ranging in size and diversity in the size of their presence according to varying demand and the form of dealing with the activity and in l ine with the interests of investors and their vision of tourism work and returns. The tourism activities have shown the importance of tourism and the number of visitors according to the statistics of 2010 to tourist sites is 117500 tourists and also the activity of residence includes accommodation in chalets, furnished apartments and hotel accommodation is the most common feeding activity between activities in addition to religious and cultural tourism and hiking.
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.
The aim of this research is to optimize the selection of the sites of Evaporation Tanks/Ponds, of Olive Mill Waste Water (OMWW). We have to achieve strict environmental conditions, which in turn relate to a wide range of factors including topograp hy, namely: elevations, rivers, silos, lakes and faults, in addition of those related to man-made geographical elements: cities, villages, roads, dams, wells and contemporary. To complete the study and obtain reliable results, we adopt GIS, which requires defining all of the above factors in the form of a graphical and descriptive environment. The choice of potential sites is through verification of the required conditions using GIS. This requires the availability of data specific to each condition, verification of other conditions through field visits and measurements in the absence of necessary data, and it is necessary to use the available space images significantly through GOOGLE EARTH for initial verification of selected sites. Appropriate technology is used according to the state of the OMWW, and according to the economic potential of the application of this technology. The main objective of these treatments is to reduce their load of organic matter. The remaining water will be used to irrigate the agricultural land. Production of manure and feed of cattle.
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
