“…The eastern part of the city essentially consists of in situ weathered sheet wash deposits that were derived from older rock outcropping further to the east. The degree of weathering decreases eastwards [41]. According to the study of Al-Sefry et al 2006, urban development influenced the groundwater regime beneath these areas.…”

Cultural Heritage Management Using Remote Sensing Data and GIS Techniques around the Archaeological Area of Ancient Jeddah in Jeddah City, Saudi Arabia

Historic Jeddah is located on the eastern shore of the Red Sea. Historic Jeddah was designated as a UNESCO world heritage site in 2014. The new urban development for the city of Jeddah has resulted in different spatial patterns. The southern part of Jeddah city falls within the moderate zone, because this area is well developed in regard to infrastructure with rainstorm and sewage networks. The middle area of the city falls within high vulnerability risk due to its high population, shallow water depth, flat slopes, and various incomplete network services (i.e., leakage from septic tanks and water pipes). The western and northwestern parts of the city are subject to very high pollution risk, due to the highly permeable area with coralline formation, very shallow water depth, and depressions. Unfortunately, historic Jeddah has been affected by the unplanned development and shallow water depth. Most of the construction and decoration of the ancient buildings are suffering from deterioration. The paper aims to detect the environmental changes, assessing the geo-environmental status, and creating some of the innovative solutions while using the integration between remote sensing and GIS techniques. The combination of SRTM, Corona 1966, Spot 1986, Landsat 1987, Orbview 2003, and Sentinel2A 2017 data will help in monitoring the changes around the study area. The Bands combination and the spatial statistical analysis are considered to be the most effective methods in the examination of the new built-up indices. GIS techniques and some models would be suggested as solutions to protect the archaeological area, according to UNESCO recommendations.

“…Particularly, Adam and Vero (1990) proposed a telluric-based magnetotelluric soundings approach to deal with the localization of tectonic disturbances based on experimental and modeling analysis, the application of which was utilized in NPP site selection. Kutbi (1987) took seismology factors (i.e., position of conceivable epicenters, the depth of the seismic focus, the energy of the anticipated seismic incidents and their relationship with the active tectonics) as basic criteria of NPP siting in Saudi Arab and examined two potential siting areas (i.e., Jeddah region and Dhahram region). In addition to the factors mentioned above, other geographical and geological factors, such as distance from volcanism activate areas, access to available cooling water, characteristics of subsurface material, properties of subsurface strata, depth and type of bed rock, topography and slope, inland and coastal location, have also been evaluated (Rouhiainen, 1987;Yu et al, 2011;Bo et al, 2013;Abudeif et al, 2015;Basri et al, 2016;Wu et al, 2020).…”

As an emerging means of energy supply, small modular reactors (SMRs) are considered as a promising option for relieving environmental pressure caused by increasing fossil fuel consumption. Since SMRs are at an early stage of development, in-depth analysis on the necessity and feasibility of their deployment is essential. The site selection of SMRs, which is a multifaceted process and should be guided by a clearly established set of criteria, is a crucial step. To propose comprehensive recommendations for SMR site selection, a review is provided in this study. The review involves development process, technical characteristics and potential applications of SMRs, research status of SMR site selection, and criteria for site selection of nuclear power plants (NPPs). Different considerations of siting criteria between SMRs and NPPs are analyzed. Based on the review and analyses, perspectives and targeted suggestions on SMR site selection are provided.

“…Medicine and farming can be, and should be, supported by PC. In the past, the PC method was used for decision making on the national level, related to nuclear weapons or energy [46]. Certainly, making such decisions must be guided by many common sense rules and GIGO (garbage-in, garbage-out) is one of them.…”
