The coronavirus disease which results from severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-COV-2), is considered a global challenge affecting millions of people and leading to a global increase in mortality, including in Jordan. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the temporal and spatial patterns of the prevalence and outbreak of coronavirus in Jordan during six periods, from 1, October 2020 until 31, March 2021 by applying geographical information systems. The Moran coefficient was applied in addition to the G* test and location quotient (LQ). The results showed the overall pattern for the distribution of cases affected by the virus was random since most governorates' experience increased the focus and prevalence of the pandemic. Furthermore, four hot spots were revealed, namely Amman, Irbid, Zarqa, and Balqa'. This study introduced new insights into the statistical analysis of the distribution and prevalence of coronavirus in Jordan using geographical information systems. This will help planners and decision-makers to predict the dynamics of the temporal and spatial transfer of the virus in the future. It will also explain the current situation to set the appropriate policies or measures to face the pandemic, as well as reduce its prevalence. Therefore, monitoring, evaluating, and planning the usage of geospatial analysis are essential for controlling the spread of COVID-19 in the country.

This paper mainly adopts descriptive analysis method and case study method and uses SERVQUAL model and statistical method to measure and evaluate the service quality level of shuttle bus of Al al-Bayt University. The study concluded that the order of the dimensions of measuring the quality of shuttle service was as follows: assurance, reliability, and empathy at a medium level; then tangibility followed by responsiveness at a low level for each. In general, the students' satisfaction level with the shuttle services provided at the campus was low, especially for the tangibility and responsiveness dimensions. This research is of value to transport service providers in understanding the gaps in and requirements of their service provision. To policy makers it highlights the dissatisfaction in the current levels of public transport service, as well as providing some indication of areas in which future interventions can be directed.

The article is devoted to the effective analysis of trench and trenchless pipeline laying technologies. In the course of the work, an analytical review of pipeline assembly was performed, the main technological parameters, the scope of each method, and their advantages and disadvantages were determined. List of considered pipeline laying methods: trenching, horizontal directional drilling, mechanical puncture, hydraulic puncture, microtunneling and punching. The article analyzes the classical trench method and the most widely used trenchless ones: horizontal directional drilling; mechanical puncture; hydraulic puncture; microtunneling; punching. Each of these methods has several advantages and disadvantages. The choice of the optimal method of laying the pipeline depends on many factors: the physical and mechanical properties of soils and hydrogeological conditions, the length and diameter of the pipeline, the presence of other communications, buildings and structures, as well as the budget that customers have. Work time is the last deciding factor. Based on the results of the analysis of pipeline laying technologies and expert survey of construction industry experts, the cost table of each method was compiled, outlining the main characteristics of the technology: length of pipeline, speed of work, scope, cost, and the advantages and disadvantages of each of the considered methods. The conclusions about the use of each of the pipeline laying methods were made. Each of the methods has its advantages and disadvantages, so to choose the method of work it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive assessment of technological parameters, cost, scope and timing of work. The cost of lay-ing the pipeline consists of the following factors: conducting research; selection of diameter and determination of pipeline length; choice of laying method and equipment necessary for the works; selection of equipment, shut-off and control equipment and other materials arranged on the pipeline; terms of performance of works. Taking into account these factors, an estimate is made, which determines the cost of installation of a particular pipeline. After the analysis, we can conclude that among the methods of trenchless laying of pipelines can be identi-fied horizontally directional drilling, it is this method of laying the pipeline will be appropriate to use for our region. The drilling technique allows to carry out pipelines under obstacles, to pull long segments of networks, to repair site damage. This method is universal and can be used in almost any environment. Keywords: trenches, horizontal directional drilling, mechanical puncture, hydraulic piercing, microtunnelling, punching, pipeline.

The aim of this study is to measure and evaluate the easier accessibility between public transport complexes and archeological sites in the Greater Irbid Municipality, to define the nature and connection between the spatial distribution of complexes and ancient archeological sites, to determine their suitability with an intention to find options and ideas for improving their efficacy in order to serve as many residents as possible in the area to access these areas with minimum effort, cost and time and the extent to which these complexes have been covered to access these historical sites. In this research, network analysis of geographic information systems (GIS) was used to calculate the time of arrival and to assess the relationship between antiquities sites and the major public transit stations in the Greater Irbid Municipality. The analysis found that the majority of the surveyed sites in the area are beyond the public transport area and therefore they are impossible to access. The number of areas covered by public transit reached 40% of the overall area of Irbid Municipality. The results also found that the spatial distribution of public transport facilities in the city was random and inconsistent. تهدف الدراسة إلى قياس وتحليل سهولة الوصول بين مجمعات النقل العام والاماكن الأثرية في بلدية اربد الكبرى والتعرف إلى واقع التوزيع المكاني لمجمعات النقل العام وعلاقتها بالمواقع الاثرية القديمه وتقييم مدى ملائمتها من أجل وضع حلول ومقترحات لتحسين فعاليتها لخدمة أكبر عدد ممكن من السكان في المنطقة للوصول إلى هذه الأماكن بأقل جهد وتكلفه واختصارا للكثير من الوقت، وبيان مدى تغطية هذه المجمعات للوصول إلى هذه المواقع الأثرية القديمة. واستخدم في هذه الدراسة التحليل الشبكي في نظم المعلومات الجغرافية لقياس زمن الوصول وإيجاد العلاقة بين الأماكن الأثرية القديمة (Archaeological Places) ومجمعات النقل العام الرئيسية (Transit Stations) في بلدية اربد الكبرى ، وتوصلت الدراسة ان معظم الاماكن الاثرية القديمة في المنطقة تقع خارج نطاق خدمة مجمعات النقل العام ، وبالتالي تعاني من صعوبة في الوصول إليها وبلغت نسبة المناطق المخدومة بالنقل العام 40% من المساحة الإجمالية لبلدية اربد كما أظهرت الدراسة أن التوزيع الجغرافي لمجمعات النقل العام كان توزيعا عشوائيا غير منتظم في المنطقة.
