Abstract:
ان عملية التخطيط المستدام لاستعمالات الاراضي هي عملية شمولية يوازيها استدامة لمناحي الحياة الاخرى لذلك لابد من وجود نظرة متكاملة ووضع سياسات متناغمة من التخطيط المستدام في مختلف المجالات لكونها متكاملة مع بعضها, وهناك دول عديدة شرعت في تطبيق مفهومات التخط | The process of sustainable planning to lands uses is a comprehensive process paralleled by sustainability of other life’s aspects. Therefore, there must be an integrated view and the placing of harmonized policies of sustainable planning in the different aspects because they complement each other. Many countries have applied the concepts of sustainable constructional planning for the purpose of achieving livable cities as much as the environment can offer and absorb, in order to maintain life’s continuity and quality. Iraqi cities suffer economic, social and environment problems, this requires moving towards livable cities “sustainable cities”. Therefore, the research has been based upon a hypothesis which is summarized by that the current planning philosophy and mechanisms are far from sustainable planning principles and thereby this resulted in the accumulation of economic, social and environmental problems in the Iraqi cities. The research took an analytical approach which depended on building a theoretical framework in which the most important sustainability indications were concluded, then applying this to the practical aspect, Al amarah city was chosen as an example of an Iraqi city and the possibility of generalizing the livable cities experiment in conformity with the available conditions and resources. This city has been chosen since it was an economically prosperous city until the end of the seventies and the beginning of the eighties. After the economic deterioration until 2003, the city was able to return to the forefront of Iraqi cities during the period from 2003 until now from the living, security and economic aspects (contrary to the other Iraqi cities) which proves that the policies adopted to the city’s administration and planning are different from the rest of the Iraqi cities. Questionnaire forms were made and given to the study sample which included specialized State employees who have experience in this field. The research determines the most important theoretical bases of the idea of livable (sustainable) cities, their achievement criteria and their planning bases. The researcher was able, through using scientific methodology in descriptive analysis, to suggest the best which can be done in sustainable planning and sustainable development which could be applied to Al amarah city. The most important conclusions which have been reached is that the basis of designing livable cities lies in sustainability, which contribute to reducing the economic, social and environmental problems which have afflicted our cities from ancient times until now. There is also the need to use environment - friendly energy sources since the city’s environment is suffering pollution for many reasons like generators, noise and lack of tree - planting. Among the most important recommendations concluded, is the importance of achieving a sustainable constructional planning which provides livable cities. This must be achieved through the collaboration of all efforts by the departments specialized in constructional planning and the relevant authorities, by support from the local and central governments
