Abstract:
The present study aims at investigating the phenomenon of area expansion of Basra city , together with examining the directions of this expansion and the factors that affect increasing the city area , as well as the influences that such an expansion makes in the city and its adjacent lands. The problem of the study can be summed up in that Basra city in the period 194 7 - 2003 expanded in its area by the leaping approach into different directions leaving lands of variable areas inside the city unexploited , in its tum , is reflected on the city achievement of its jobs.The significance of the study lies in the fact that it can be regarded a guide to studying other Iraqi cities throughout studying Basra city to solve the problems resulting from this expansion. This can be listed as an endeavor to estimate the real need to the urban areaBasra city is of a historical dimension and it has developed its jobs to arrive at Such a high level. This development could not happen unless a number of shard factors worked together to draw the city picture with all its surveying and demographic dimensions. The city of Basra has an obvious property , representing in its geographical position which gathers a unique social , cultural , and economic structure , which makes it somehow different from other Iraqi cities.The present city deals with the surveying expansion of Basra city in a particular period 194 7 - 2003 for a number of reasons. First , the study depends on the first census made in Iraq in 194 7 , which helps examine the surveying development of the city throughout connecting it with the statistical side ( the nurp.ber of city population ). Second , the first design of the city was made in 1942 , five years before the official census which helps follow such a development. Third , examining the surveying development of the city largely depends on its demographic weight , which clarifies the directions of this expansion. Such a development cannot be understood unless the researcher follows the movement of the demographic census ~ I inside the city. To achieve this aim , a specific geographical approach is followed in the four chapter of the study.Chapter One presents the theoretical background of the study , including the definitions , concept , and theories which are , in one way or anther , related to the subjected of the study.some of the definitions and concepts presented here are somehow similar in their titles. Besides , the chapter shows the theories that dealt with the internal structure of the city , and the approaches of surveying expansion , as well as studying the stages of city development so as to achieve the research objective. f Chapter Two exhibits the analysis of the factors of the city surveying expansion. These factors have played a very essential role in time and location , in terms of the objective Conditions of each stage that the city surveying development has passed through. Consequently , this chapter comes to be historical , descriptive , and analytic , which depends , in its information , on historical and field resources.Chapter three Consists of three axes. The first axis deals with the obstructions of the surveying expansion , whether Topographical obstructions or Human ones , and their influence on the city expansion in its successive stages. The Second axis examines the expansion directions through the stages of the city 1 development , and finally the third axis reflects the designing efforts.Chapter Four deals with three items , the first of which investigates the expansion influences , direct or indirect , on the city , whether in the quality of the services presented , its morphology , or its social influences on the population. The Second item clarifies the affects of such an expansion on the adjacent lands , whether the cultivated lands or the empty ones. The last item reflects the surveying expansion future of the city according to three approaches : the prophetic, the average of the individual 's shave , and the criteria of the urban designing.
