التحليل المكاني للخصائص الديموغرافية و الاقتصادية لأرباب الأسر في المناطق العشوائية بمدينة القاسم

Abstract EN

The rapid urbanization process has led to an increase in the poor, marginal slum areas located at the entrances and outskirts of Al-Qasim city, as these areas have taken a random expansion through buildings and unplanned slums that were built illegally, which results in a disruption in the nature of the urban system and causes social, economic and security problems.

The research came to shed light on the reality of the geographical distribution of random housing areas in the city of Al-Qasim and the study of the demographic characteristics of the heads of families in those areas, represented by (special composition, age, place of birth, family size, and educational level) and the economic characteristics that include a study (work status, employment status and monthly income) ) By distributing the questionnaire form, which was divided according to the number of families in each sector of the city, and an estimated sample size of (4% ) was adopted to cover the study population.

There are (34) random housing sites in the city of Al-Qasim, which vary in their geographical distribution, as some sectors of the city are devoid of this phenomenon.

The demographic characteristics of heads of families in slum areas vary according to the municipal sectors of the study area.

To address this phenomenon, which has been expanding recently, the research suggests developing rural areas to stop the expansion of slums by limiting the migration of its residents to Al-Qasim city or other cities, and providing alternatives to housing for low-income people to prevent housing in slums.

Choosing an alternative location for informal housing where basic services are available.

Or providing the necessary services in the current slum areas in the city, and the need to activate the role of oversight by the concerned authorities in applying the granting of building permits to limit the continued growth of slums.
