عناصر التلوث البيئي بكورنيش مدينة جدة من منظور جغرافية السياحة و الترويح

Abstract EN

This research aims to show the elements of environmental pollution of the Corniche of Jeddah and to determine the elements causing its pollution , which affect tourism and recreation, and also to identify spatial differences of pollution elements and which areas are most affected.

The results of previous studies show that the shores of Jeddah are one of the most polluted beaches, although the severity of contamination varies from one region to another.

To achieve the objectives of this study, samples from the coastal waters of the Corniche were collected and analyzed to determine the elements of chemical and bacterial contamination which, in this context can be considered as an example of overlapping between the different sciences with the science of geography (interdisciplinary).

Some professionals in the marine science, environment, and chemistry have been used as assistants to read and interpret the implications of the chemical and bacterial results..

Perhaps the most important findings of this study according to the results are that; the shores of Jeddah city are polluted.

This was confirmed by the results that were found to exceed the international limits.

The study also shows that pouring sewage in the sea is one of the main causes of this pollution.

The study recommends the need to promote environmental awareness of the importance of maintaining clean beaches free of elements causing pollution.

This awareness could be raised among officials of hotels, factories, tourist villages, and among the users of the Corniche themselves.

The study emphasizes the need to use the successful experiences of some developed cities on how to treat sewage water using huge plants processors before pouring into the sea,.

as a proactive action to avoid what happened to the coasts of Japan and China, which were invaded by the jellyfish.

Serious studies are required to benefit from the experiences of Japan in this regard in order to protect the shores of Jeddah from this great danger.
