مشكلة تعلية أرضية الشوارع و تداعياتها على البيئة العمرانية في المدن الصغيرة

Abstract EN

Features of earth surface, in fact, change throughout time due to urban extension of cities and the accumulation of man’s behavioral habits while dealing with lands in nucleus areas, quarters on the city skirts and in new places.

The phenomenon of steady rise of street lands causes gradual loss in the houses thresholds and driveways.

This affects the housing environment and people’s kind of living.

Besides, it unfortunately leads to deterioration of building treasure, and pushes citizens to emigrate from old places to the city skirts where houses of good quality are available.

This phenomenon is always there in cities of urban expansion or in developing countries of ancient heritage as the case in Egypt, Iraq or other cities overlooking the Mediterranean—they all share similar traditions.

Specifically speaking, this negative phenomenon spreads widely in urban environment and society in Egypt because of ignorance and lack of societal developmental administration.

The study recommends the following: This phenomenon should be put under control since it is widely spread lately.

It is intensive in modern marginal quarters rather than in old areas due to lack of planning and local administration.

Treatment of this phenomenon should be included in Egyptian city planning to surpass the traditional urban frame and gain an ecological perspective.

Trees should be planted intensively to fill in the Egyptian city streets net to reduce the existence of Carbon Dioxide on the one hand, and absorb the ground water that lie close to the land surface on the other hand.

Constructors should wisely consider the characteristics of this new unstable layer, which has been clarified by strategic geographical analysis of lands in Cairo.

Researches should be done to measure how mature human debris layer is.

Such layer is used in digging almost all buildings substructures.

It should be suggested which layer is the most suitable for certain areas.

Dates of construction of public buildings should be revised due to the time of constitution of human precipitation throughout ages.

Convenient modifications should take place according to meticulous understanding of the kinds of buildings and building materials used to preserve our housing treasure.
