تنمية الأشكال الأرضية و المرتفعات الجبلية بحوض صنعاء

Abstract EN

The process of developing terrestrial shapes and mountain heights in the Sana’a Basin region is considered to be one of the most important geomorphological studies that have a strong relationship with the applications of land uses during the planning for comprehensive development.

Most of the hazards and challenges represented by the multiple slips and landslides that occurred in this region were due to the natural and human interactions, factors and processes that affected the construction of earthly shapes and phenomena and their changes over time.

In addition, these hazards and challenges have led to the emergence of many environmental problems, such as depletion of natural resources and deficiency in the environmental balance.

This created an obstacle to achieve sustainable development in this region.

This study concluded that these multiple slips and landslides, which are concentrated in the southwest basin, are related to the interaction of natural and human factors and processes, etc.

Also, human operations had a great impact on changing the shapes of the Earth's surface during the period 1973-2019, and it had a direct relationship with the change of some of these shapes in the Sarraf heights, Dhahban Heights, and Mount Meri.

Therefore, it was necessary to reconsider the use of strategic urban planning in Yemen with the aim of equitable distribution of services in all governorates, limiting local migrations to the study area, and paying attention to understanding the science of geomorphology, etc.

This science is considered to be an integrated system for building databases through applied geomorphological research that contributes to the planning and development of landforms and mountain heights and their tourism development.

Moreover, this science also enables to take advantage of natural forms and encourages the local community to build sustainable service projects such as dams, water barriers, and a shelter in the capital city.

This research aims to study the landforms and mountain heights and identify them in this region, and it presents the most important processes affecting them and the problems, challenges and hazards resulting from them in the Sana’a Basin.

The goal is to find solutions in achieving comprehensive development and preserving the general appearance of the earth's surface shapes and the environmental balance, and transforming them into an economically sustainable area.
