English Abstract

The rapid development in the various aspects of life has increased the complicities in our lifestyle, and that leads to create continuous problems.

Overcoming these problems required efficient, convenient and fixable solutions, to adapt to these quick changes in the world.

The geographic Information system tools are a modern technology, which involved the implementation of complex matters by giving the users a high ability for deep understanding of the problems through analyzing the spatial data, production of digital maps and thus enables the decision maker for saving time, effort and cost by selecting the accurate decisions to reach an optimized solution for the problem.

One of the complex problems in modern times is the traffic jams that have swept most of the world in recent years, especially in the major capitals and cities, where an intensive emigration of people living in villages and small towns, has been taking place, in addition to that a great urban expansion and the increase of the number of using vehicles in transport resulted in exacerbating the problem of traffic congestion significantly.

Al-Karadah City in Baghdad, one of the busiest and most crowded cities in Iraq due to the large population of the large compared to its area, as well as to the presence of a diversity of land uses (commercial, residential, industrial, recreational and educational).

These various components provide indications that the region is attractive and lively to the large number of their visitors.

In addition to that, there are important religious places and variety of government departments, not to mention its geographical location in the heart of the capital and surrounded by the Tigris River from all directions; all this has caused the researcher to choose it as an area for the study.

This study focues on analyzing proposed factors and measuring how much these factors affect the traffic jams problem and then to propose both short and long term solutions for this problem based on the study results, which are principally not found in the departments concerned and make available satellite imagery of the place of study in order to establish special layer for these elements and establish complete geographical database for each one of them and analyze every layer to find out the extent of its influence on the traffic jam separately and to put these layers together in order to produce a complete map to acknowledge their location and degree of its influence on the study problems in order to find the above solutions.
