Transportation has always been the backbone of development Transitoriented development TOD has been theorized piloted and expanded increasingly in the past few decades In this regard this paper investigates the relationship between urban development the transportation process and the required implementation guidelines within fasturbanizing cities such as Cairo After reviewing different related sustainable development theories the study investigates pioneering case studies that have applied TOD and provided adequate implementation frameworks The authors then extract and compare a set of requ

Nowadays uncontrolled urbanisation is one of the major problems facing Algerian oasis regions The monitoring and evaluation of its landscape transformations remain a key step for any oasis sustainability project This study highlights the evolution of spatial growth in the city of Adrar in southern Algeria during the period 19862016 by establishing a Spatiotemporal mapping and landscape quantification The methodological approach is based on a multitemporal analysis of Landsat satellite images for 1986 1996 2006 and 2016 and the application of landscape metrics The results show two opposite s

A revolutionary book by De Soto to formalize land tenure by changing dead capital to life capital has become the trademark in Egypt of issuing a temporary reconciliation law of 2019 and its amendment to approve a legal certificate to the violators against a certain fee The question is does this law legalize informal housing Is it enough to introduce a legal certificate to secure land tenure for the violators How would this law apply on the ground Depending on the deductive methodology this paper traces sociotechnical transitions concerning legalizing the status quo of buildingland tenure se

Ce papier constitue une synthèse des acquis et des handicaps de la restauration des paysages forestiers et régimes fonciers au Cameroun. Il présente par ailleurs les engagements du Cameroun pour ralentir la déforestation et la dégradation de ses écosystèmes forestiers à travers la stratégie nationale de restauration des paysages forestiers, en lien avec les initiatives du Défi de Bonn, de l’AFR100 et de la Grande Muraille Verte.

The dramatic growth of the world’s population is increasing the pressure on natural resources, particularly on soil systems. At the same time, inappropriate agricultural practices are causing widespread soil degradation. Improved management of soil resources and identification of the potential agricultural capability of soils is therefore needed to prevent further land degradation, particularly in dryland areas such as Egypt. Here, we present a case study in the El-Fayoum depression (Northern Egypt) to model and map soil suitability for 12 typical Mediterranean crops.

Conversion of native lands into agricultural use, coupled with poor land management practices, generally leads to changes in soil properties. Understanding the undesirable effects of land-use and land-cover (LULC) changes on soil properties is essential when planning for sustainable land management.

Soil erosion is an important environmental problem that can have various negative consequences, such as land degradation, which affects sustainable development and agricultural production, especially in developing countries like Tunisia. Moreover, soil erosion is a major problem around the world because of its effects on soil fertility by nutriment loss and siltation in water bodies. Apart from this, soil erosion by water is the most serious type of land loss in several regions both locally and globally.

This investigation aims to assess the changes of Land Use/Land Cover (LULC) and its impact on ecosystem services value in Damietta Governorate, Egypt. To fulfill this aim, Landsat data of TM5 in 2001, ETM in 2011 and OLI in 2021 were used. The Maximum Likelihood Classifier was employed to track the changes in LULC of the study area. Cellular automata (CA) and Markov model adopted from IDRISI software were used for accurate prediction of the LULC in 2031. The VALIDATE model in TerrSet was used to compare the predicted 2031 LULC with actual 2021 LULC to assess the accuracy of the model.
