It is a city where the voices, needs, priorities and rights of children are an integral part of public policies, programs and decisions. As a result, it is a city that is fit for all. Today, Damascus city rate poorly in terms of the child friendly status. Due to modern planning and zoning practices, planning for the car and uncontrolled growth, children of Damascus are growing up unhealthy, obese and depressed. This research reviews the studies done on the built environment that is convenient for the child‘s physical, mental and social health and safety. For the purpose of this research, 64 children (28 girls and 36 boys) aged between 10-14 years, along with their parents were interviewed and asked to describe their perception and experience of the built environment of the New City of Damascus to meet their needs. Then, the research analyses and evaluates the Traditional Damascus Built Environment in order to consider key planning and designing factors that could be learnt through looking at the way the Traditional Built Environment providing for children‘s needs, and using this as the blueprint for designing child friendly neighborhoods of new and damaged neighborhood of Damascus City.

Research summary
تتناول هذه الدراسة البيئة المبنية لمدينة دمشق التقليدية من منظور ملاءمتها للأطفال. تُعرّف المدينة الصديقة للطفل بأنها مدينة تلتزم بحقوق الأطفال وتعتبر احتياجاتهم وأولوياتهم جزءًا من السياسات العامة. تُظهر الدراسة أن مدينة دمشق الحديثة تعاني من مشكلات في التخطيط الحضري، مثل تفضيل السيارات والنمو العشوائي، مما يؤثر سلبًا على صحة الأطفال الجسدية والنفسية. من خلال استبيان شمل 64 طفلًا وأولياء أمورهم، تم تحليل تصوراتهم حول البيئة المبنية في دمشق الحديثة. ثم تم تقييم البيئة المبنية لدمشق التقليدية لاستخلاص العوامل التي يمكن أن تُستخدم في تصميم أحياء صديقة للأطفال. أظهرت النتائج أن البيئة التقليدية توفر أمانًا واستقلالية وفرصًا للعب في الهواء الطلق، مما يُسهم في صحة الأطفال ورفاهيتهم. توصي الدراسة بإعادة النظر في التخطيط الحضري لدمشق الحديثة لتكون أكثر ملاءمة للأطفال، مع التركيز على الاستفادة من المبادئ التصميمية للمدينة التقليدية.
Critical review
تُعتبر هذه الدراسة خطوة مهمة نحو فهم البيئة المبنية وتأثيرها على الأطفال في دمشق. ومع ذلك، يمكن توجيه بعض النقد البناء لتحسين البحث. أولاً، كان من الممكن أن تكون العينة أكبر وأكثر تنوعًا لتوفير نتائج أكثر شمولية. ثانيًا، لم يتم التطرق بشكل كافٍ إلى تأثير العوامل الاقتصادية والاجتماعية على قدرة الأطفال على الاستفادة من البيئة المبنية. ثالثًا، كان من الممكن تقديم حلول تطبيقية أكثر وضوحًا وقابلة للتنفيذ لتحسين البيئة المبنية في دمشق الحديثة. على الرغم من هذه النقاط، تُعد الدراسة مرجعًا قيمًا يمكن البناء عليه في الأبحاث المستقبلية.

The criticisms connected with the traditional approach for variance analysis of conversion cost focused on using variance of volume for measuring exploitation of productive capacity, and negligence of increasing in the production, also using working hours, and the time of machines working as a basis for counting carrying rates of conversion costs, and counting the variance. When variance analysis was not restricted in determined group of changes, and the changes which are used in the analysis can change according to what develops and appears of situations and needs, so variance analysis in its present form does not provide suitable information about the competitive attitude of economic unit from costing side. Therefore, it is necessary to improve and modify the traditional method of variance analysis of conversion cost under needs and strategies of modern industrial systems, to fit the variance analysis in a way that treats the criticisms which were directed to this style, the role of standard costs system in support of control systems and performance correction, and achievement the strategy of continuous improvement. The research tries to study the criticisms which were directed to the traditional method of variance analysis of conversion cost, then to apply the modern method of variance analysis of conversion cost, and which suits with requirements of modern industrial environment, in company of Banias Refinery, and the researcher reaches to series of results, the most important of those are: The changes which happened in modern industrial environment affected the traditional analysis of variance of conversion cost; The traditional analysis of variance of conversion cost doesn't encourage the continuous improvement; The traditional analysis of variance of conversion cost doesn't refer to movements of stock in its different types; and The total variance of conversion cost in company of Banias Refinery is (-399845730) , that is actual conversion cost bigger than standard conversion cost to the actual production.
