Arabic Abstract

ان كتابة حل خوارزمي لحل مشكلة ما يتطلب معرفة عميقة بأحد الموجهات التجريدية و يتطلب الكثير من الوقت.

سنقوم في هذا البحث بدراسة منهجية بحث عالية المستوى المسماة بمنهجية الموجه الفائق و التي تطبق على خوارزمايات مجال بحت الموجه و الموجه التجريدي.

تهدف هذه الدراسة لإيجاد الحل الخوارزمي الأكثر ملائمة لفئة معينة من المشاكل.

الموجه الفائق يقسم إلى فئتين رئيستين موجه فائق انتقائي و موجه فائق .مولد ستركز هذه الدراسة على الموجه الفائق المولد، و بشكل خاص على الموجه الفائق المولد الذي يُطبق على مكونات خوارزمية سرب الجزيئات و خوارزمية الجينات.

تستخدم هذه الدراسة قواعد معدلة ممثلة كبنية الشجرة المسماة البرمجة الجينية الموجهة من أجل توليد حالان خوارزمية سرب الجزيئات و خوارزمية الجينات هجينتين لمشاكل التحسين الشاملة المستمرة في هذه الدراسة قمنا بمقارنة خوارزميتنا مع خوار مبيتين رائدتين و النتائج أظهرت ان خوار ميتنا تتمتع بكفاءة عالية.

English Abstract

Purpose: Post-disaster housing reconstruction projects are considered complex and complicated projects in nature which in turn represents many challenges because it is unlike routine construction.

Clarifying success and failure factors facing organizations in post-disaster housing reconstruction is essential to ensure success in reconstruction projects.

The study aimed to identify and rank the main failure and success factors that organizations experienced in post-disaster housing reconstruction projects.

Design/methodology/approach: The quantitative approach was adopted; a structured questionnaire is used to collect the data from a purposive sample.

115 copies questionnaires were distributed to experts engineers who worked in the previous postdisaster housing reconstruction projects in Gaza Strip and 105 copies were received from the respondents with a response rate = 91.30%.

The collected data were analysed with Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) IBM version 22.

Findings: From the literature review, the failure groups were divided into five groups.

The findings showed that lack of resourcing group was the highest rank failure group.

The results showed that transportation cost and the obstacles into the official crossing border, government focus on short term planning rather than development and long term planning, weak government organizations during the immediate post-disaster period are the most important failures factors.

The success groups were also divided into five groups.

The results showed that the transparency and accountability group was the highest rank success group.

The findings indicated that establishing a monitoring system to minimize corruption in reconstruction projects, shared database for exchange information among organizations after the disaster, competencies and experience of managers and team members who are engaged in the reconstruction projects are the most three critical success factors.

Originality/ value: The identify success and failure factors facing organizations in post-disaster housing reconstruction projects is considered the first study in this field in Gaza Strip.

This research assists organizations to overcome the identified failure factors and to understand the most important success factors.

This study can provide documentation of reference for the researcher who interested in the field of the study
