تعاني معظم القرى و التجمعات الريفية عامةً، و في محافظة طرطوس خاصةً، من سوء التنظيم للنقل و تخديم الناس، لدرجة أضحى بها التنقل بين الريف و المدينة معاناة كبيرة لأغلب المواطنين. يقدّم هذا البحث تقييماً لجودة النقل العام ضمن شبكة النقل الريفي بالاعتماد على مجموعة من المؤشرات و المعايير الكمية التي توضح لنا حالة أو مستوى نوعية خدمة النقل الريفي، و تحديد المعايير الأكثر تأثيراً و ملاءمةً لعملية التقييم، و اتخاذ إجراءات لزيادة فعالية أدائه. لقد أجريت الدراسة على محور طرطوس-الدريكيش الذي يمر في منطقة جبلية شديدة الانحدار في بعض المناطق، مما يجعل موضوع تحسين أداء منظومة النقل العام على هذا المحور مسألة مهمة تسهم في تيسير حركة المرور و النقل، و في الاقلال من الحوادث على المفارق الكثيرة، و سيتم في هذا البحث تقديم التحليلات و استخلاص النتائج و تقديم الاقتراحات لمشكلة موضوع الدراسة.
Most of the villages and rural communities are suffering, particularly in Tartous region, of poor organization of transport and serve the people. Therefore the movement between rural and city become a great suffering for most people. This research presents an evaluation the quality of public transport on rural transport network based on a set of indicators and quantitative criteria that show us the case or the quality of rural transport, And it identify the most effective and appropriate criteria to the evaluation operation. In addition, take procedure to increase the effectiveness of service performance. This study was conducted on Tartous- Al dreikish axis which passes in steep mountainous area in some areas is what makes the subject of improving the performance of the public transport system on this axis is an important issue contribute to facilitate the traffic and transport, and reducing accidents on the many junctions. In this research will be to provide analysis, draw conclusions and make suggestions to the problem in this study.

Rural transport is one of the basic requirements imposed by the daily life conditions,
so it should be has of certain conditions and basic standards which it purposed of achieving
customer satisfaction and reach the level of a certain quality of se
rvice provided by rural
public transport. For that, Many studies were focusing on a number of most important
criteria such as the waiting periods, comfort, safety, adherence regular capacity of bus,
commitment tariff set for the fare, In addition to the commitment to a specific time.
In this research, interviews with a random sample of residents of Sheikh Badr City
were producted in order to obtain the information needed to evaluation the quality and
appropriateness of public transport services on the line of Tartous-Sheikh Badr. After that
we recorded the data obtained and analyzed the results using the program (excel). One of
the most important results that we have obtained is the length of the waiting period, which
ranged from 50-60 minutes.
Search finished with evaluation the public transport, suggestions and
recommendations to improve the efficiency of transport in rural areas.
Rural areas form a large part of Syria's coastal area. Linking between these areas and city
centers transact of a network of roads. Each of these roads and transport means form the
rural transport system which characterized by general characteristi
cs of low levels of
traffic, economic activity and population density, and long distances between centers such
as service centers. The presenting of services, operations and maintenance characterize at
high costs, and there are often difficult geographical and natural conditions.
Vehicle operating costs refer to costs that vary with vehicle usage, including fuel, tires,
maintenance, repairs…etc., which dependent on the mileage.
Transportation agencies and maintenance workshops were visited during this study. As
well as, interviews have been done with a random sample of public transport drivers
working on some rural axes in the coastal area, in order to obtain the required information
about the vehicle operating and maintenance costs.
The study concluded by identifying the most important factors that may effect on the tariff
of passenger transport on rural axes (maintenance of the vehicle, fuel costs, quality of the
road .....) and proposing a number of recommendations aimed at improving the public
transport system and raising its efficiency in rural areas.
The level of organization of the internal transport in cities is the basis of integrated traffic regulation that reflects the extent of civilized development it has reached, and the modes of transport to meet the growing need for transport. Basically
, Tartous city depends on microbuses as public transport, and it was noticed through questionnaires that microbus passengers suffer from various problems such as un comfort safety, overcrowding, noise and environmental pollution… etc. Bus drivers in their turn suffer from many negative effects such as disorganization of journeys, many stops, the high expense of maintenance compared to the income and many others. That is why it is necessary to find other accessible, easy and reasonable choices. In this research ,three cases combination are highlighted ,taking into consideration the total storage then evaluating these choices by using EXPERT CHOISE program which showed the superiority of public bus in all cases instead of the microbus and the mixed solution ,with a percentage of 0,00 which is less than 1% and also it showed the effective role of using the public bus to microbus in the sustainable development and It is superior to the economic impact when applying engineering economic analysis
The rural roads are a large part of the existing roads network, particularly that
consisting of two-lane. Evaluation of traffic performance for two-way, two-lane rural roads
is complex process due to their characteristics. Many performance measures
were
introduced by many authors in many countries to fit the local conditions.
This research presents an empirical evaluation of the relationship between
operational performance and platooning phenomenon in rural two-lane roads in Tartous.
Six performance measures and three platooning variables were defined and calculated for
ten study sites using traffic data from rural roads in Ash-Shaykh Badr region of Tartous
governorate. Using graphical and statistical analyses, the associations between the
performance measures and the platooning variables were examined.
The platooning variables investigated, traffic flow in the direction of travel has the
highest correlations with performance measures. As the overall findings confirmed that the
follower density is the most characterization of the relationship between traffic
performance and platooning, which is suitable for the study of operational performance.
The study aimed at evaluating the success of Tartos Port Container Terminal investing by the private sector in promoting its operational and financial performance. The study analyzed the operational and financial indicators for the Container Terminal
before and after the entrance of the private sector. The period of the study started from 2004 until 2010 by considering 2007 an intermediate year. The study used the appropriate statistical methods such as t- test and Mann Whitney Test for comparing the performance of the terminal before and after the entrance of the private sector. The study found significant improvement of operational and liquidity indicators and significant decrease of leverage and profitability indicators, and some notable recommendations were the necessary of doing some reforms on the public sector companies which can increase the flexibility and the speed of the decisions making process, and the possibility of relying on privatization and public private partnership to fix some public sector enterprises that became unable to compete with the private sector.
