ملاءمة الأراضي للنمو الحضري المستقبلي في مدينة كرداسة حتى عام 2032 باستخدام نظم المعلومات الجغرافية

Abstract EN

The process of determining the suitability of land for future urban growth is one of the important issues in urban planning.

thus, the study aimed to create a map that shows the suitability of land for the future urban growth of the study area in light of a set of specific criteria according to the spatial characteristics of the region, utilizing geographic information systems technology, remote sensing, and the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), and selecting from these areas the best sites for the future urban growth of the city of Kerdasa.

the study found that the areas suitable for urban growth represents only about (4.8%) of the study region, while areas not suitable for future urban growth represents 87.8% of the total area of the study.

therefore, the study recommended going out to the adjacent desert hinterland to the study area, allocating a piece of land cut from the archaeological area in the desert of Abu Rawash, which will be a solution to address the problem of urban growth that the area will be exposed to at the expense of agricultural land until the period under study, ending in 2032.

the study recommended, also, the inclusion of areas that are less suitable for urban growth, estimated at (7.5%) within the approved urban zone of the city instead of exposure to random urban expansion, from which the city suffered and is still suffering.
