Abstract: The city of Baghdad is witnessing nowadays a severe traffic congestion in its streets in general and in the city centre in particular (the study area), which leads to weaken the (level of service) in those streets. The land use distribution in this area, and the high dependency on private vehicles in the daily movements, with the limitation of public transportation, they all led to heavy congestions. Besides that, the central area lacks an adequate right - of - way to expand the existing transport system; as a result, it has become essential to introduce other solutions for congestion rather than expanding solution. So in this study one of the congestion management strategy would be Identify; which is the free parking strategy to apply it with the park and ride system to enhance the accessibility to public transit. The hypothesis of the study was adopting parking management strategies, will contribute in reducing the pressure on the streets of the city centre. The study also has explained the effective criteria for locating the parking of this system. and the relative importance for each criterion used in the locating process by using Multi Criteria Decision Analysis (AHP method); then, by using ArcGIS program, the basic layers which enter the spatial analyst (suitability analysis) had been drawn, then in the Overlay process, the primary alternatives for locating had been identify; then come the evaluation process to those alternatives in AHP process to find the optimum locations. In addition, the study has found the correlation between the strategy of controlling the parking prices inside the centre and the outside (the free of charge parking), with the traffic reduction. Due to the absence of such strategy in Baghdad in the current time, the study has depended on the international studies and experiments to prove the hypothesis, and then apply the proven percentages on the current traffic volumes that enter the study area. After that, the study concluded that applying this strategy can increase the level of services in some streets of the area from (F) to (C), and thus it will reduce the congestion in the city centre

These requirements and needs , which increased for the time being largely a result of changes large and rapid shifts in the various aspects of life. It needs to pay attention to urban planning in general and residential areas in particular. And so I took the study of the use of central importance in the economic and social life. Here, the role of the scheme in the current study variables and predict future conditions machetes allocation of space required for each use through guided planning standards when developing basic schemes for cities. It based on that built the research problem , which is to come residential shops in the city of Muqdadiyah is characterized by the absence of a clear vision on the extent of adoption of the bases and It can't apply of housing criteria when planning and implementing schemes such shops, so was assumed find the use of different land planning as best in terms of spaces and locations and the adoption of the bases and housing standards in planning , contributing to find appropriate housing structure for housing and distribution of a fair and efficient services. The research to detect allocated to each use of the use of land area in the study area (209), compare this space with the local planning standards and give a clear picture of the most prominent of those uses and the statement of the extent to which this share to the requirements and needs of the population and determine the extent of matching public services planning In the camp, the local housing standards landmarks. As well as determine the balance in the use of land residential units, services and streets. Finally out conclusion that recommendations to address the situation. It may have adopted to research in his studies curriculum descriptive analysis comparator through a range of office and field wipes. The research included the four chapters since the first chapter included the study of the most important concepts such as the concept of structure and infrastructure. The second chapter dealt with the concept of housing standards planning. Turning the third chapter to the study area ( the city of Muqdadiyah ) to study the location and characteristics. The fourth chapter is devoted to field study and the study of the reality of the use of land for the locality (209 ). And then analyze and evaluate these uses. Finally, we concluded to determine findings and that was the most important : 1 - The disappearance of commitment and planning standards imbalance ratios to use of land when cities and residential and shops of modern planning leads to the cities to suffer from a clear failure , its functions and its various activities. 2. Hypothesis health and stability of the researcher.3 - Structure urban social phenomenon linked to intellectual and spatial and temporal variables are influenced by several factors including : (social and economic factors and the nature of the environment) For the purpose of determining patterns of formation of this structure is well must study these factors. It also recommended to the researcher several recommendations, including the need to adopt local foundations and criteria when planning residential shops and the need to implement basic plans as required.

Abstract: Thought plays an important role in different lore, sciences and in enhancing city activities especially after studying the latent abilities and existing relationships in order to develop city growth.Planned thought - passing different stages - through modernism stage and post modernism, where it started shifting away from theology and the authority of tyranny , depending on rationality towards the being of place reality. It became science and the knowledge accumulation have an obvious contribution in developing criteria and planning methods by different theories such as gardened (parks) cities , central circles cities and many modern theories and applications connected to technique and technology , representing the response to the pressure of social , environmental and economic reality to achieve comfort, welfare of mankind and to solve problems.In the age of digitizing after passing machine and manufacturing age , transformations took place on the conceptual level , and a change started in the city scene and the appearance of informatics in the cybernetic age , with the progress of time , new thinking methods and applying the material and moral elements in making the place character, and the perception of space and its importance in organizing natural and cultural environment has changed. Constants started to change in front of humans needs and the dynamic necessities in the city and its activities , and planning relied on homogeneity , flexibility, pattern and symbol - and it relied on analyzing, predicting and different means to achieve future aims, therefore though started theoretically then became theoretical experiment, and urbanism became a form of philosophyof thought.Multi trends have appeared such as synergistic communicative trend, Just city, multi ethnic cultures and all what may contribute in solving conflicts. The problem of search was consisted of the gap existed in the planning environment in its theoretical and planning aspects between Iraqi city and other cities in the world.A planning feature is the dual nature of planning - normative and descriptive - and this requires reconsidering the effective elements that affect the process of urban planning , and analyzing it descriptively and statistically to figure and state the benefit trails and reach a scientific modeling that contributes in enhancing place efficiency by using integration and correcting spatial scales. Transformations took place everywhere , and its applications were found in different cities and places, sustainability and clean technology are means to achieve a better life and to participate in plans sketch.Accelerated urbanization has contributed in generating different problems , suchas poverty and pollution ,which necessitatedstudying the sustain and achieving a change for a new life. The process of sensory and functionally organizing, questionnaire of employees opinions, in the environment of planning and analyzing results to reach a group of indicators that contribute in closing this gap and catch up with other cities.The thesis reached a group of recommendations and results in which the most important were : reform institutional structures, type of governing ,legislations that suit the needs, and the participation of the Iraqi citiesplanners in these legislations to rectify failure by communicating and achieving social justice.
