Abstract EN

This issue is of great importance because of the danger of wasting and depletion in the financial, material and human resources resulting from traffic accidents.

This is an important obstacle to securing the necessary funds for the development process.

Therefore, it is necessary to address it and call for serious and effective attention to it.

For traffic safety in order to reduce traffic accidents.

The current belief is that traffic accidents have not taken sufficient attention within the priorities of the central and local governments, despite the combination of several factors that have contributed to increasing transport and demand on the transport network because of the relatively stable supply.

The process of economic transformation and trade openness after 2003 has contributed to increasing the pressure on the transportation network due to the entry of large numbers of imported cars with the increasing movement of reconstruction and investment, which is expected to increase the urban expansion and therefore the city of Basra is expected to suffer from increasing traffic problems (bottlenecks and accidents) Traffic), which will leave serious economic effects at the level of the local and national economy.

In order to address and address this risk, the research structure included a number of topics dealing with the types of traffic accidents and their causes, methods of calculating the economic costs resulting from them and their effects on the macroeconomic variables.

The analysis included several levels starting at the international level and then at the level of the Middle East and developing countries, (Iraqi) and finally focus on the city of Basra with a separate and special.

There is no doubt that the field research, especially about the city of Basra, including this research is facing several difficulties, including the ability in this type of studies at the level of Iraq and Basra, as well as the difficulty of obtaining data and information organized and detailed and detailed as most of them scattered in official orders and documents and more than one unit Which is supposed to collect and republished in the annual statistical reports as a database and many of the incidents were not officially recorded because they were treated socially and in fact, we believe that the results of the analysis and calculation of the costs and losses of traffic in Basra gave us approximate results and a general impression of the scene To traffic in Basra.

The research was based on the theoretical and theoretical methods of information and data available in references, books, international information network and administrative units of the Traffic Directorate.

As for the practical side, it relied heavily on the information and data issued by the different units of the General Traffic Directorate as well as the results of the questionnaire questionnaire prepared by the researcher and which were installed in the research.
