Abstract. This study aimed at opening discussions concerning new ideas of suggesting sustainable scenario based on the principle of an integrated spatial development ring between urban-rural areas along and between AL-Abrash and AL-Hseen rivers watershed, as an application of the bottom-up planning model, seeking to achieve ruralization in parallel with urbanization. This paper adopted data collections and analysis through using a step-by-step approach. Firstly, investigated the land-cover change (LCC) during 30-years. Therefore, using multi-temporal satellite data from different dates for the same study area to create thematic land cover maps which can be used for land cover change detection. Three Landsat satellite images from1987, 2002 and 2017 were classified separately using the supervised classification method in ArcGIS, to provide an economical way to quantify, map and analyse changes over time in land cover. Then, SWOT analysis for the possibilities and determinants within the twoway flow of the current and futuristic economic activity, besides discussion the opportunities of the land-use (LU) taking into account slop map to achieve conservation priority for natural resources. Finally, evaluate results and establishing a sustainable spatial scenario approachable to upgrade into scaling up/out to covering the coastal region watersheds, can support regional planning and decision-making in the future.

Abstract-Based on the strategic vision of the Chinese government to build the new Silk Road Economic Belt. This paper aims to discuss the new Sustainable development scenario in Syria, according to "shaped: 廾 Gǒng: hands joined". SWOT analysis of the information collected for proposing a new development axes that constitute a schematic depth of the coastal region. Thus, to be the base to lead the development process and reconstruction in the future due to local and international properties. Also, to keep pace the strategy of "One Belt One Road" as one of the most important cross-border development axes in this century. The goals are to the creation and development of urban communities through the Sustainable Structure. Targeted range of inner and border cities by the concept "Hub & Gateway". Thus, forming an integrated economic belt to attract investments to inward regions, and provide access to energy sources detections in the coastal region. The results show that proposal scenario presents one of the most important up-down strategies for alternative spatial regional development plans in Syria after the war.
