Industrial Activity Land Suitability Assessment Using Delphi and AHP to Control Land Consumption¨: The Case Study of Bordj Bouarreridj, Algeria

This study investigated the strategic planning procedure used by the University of Jeddah to determine which of its efficacy criteria are the most significant for future development. A university's performance is founded on its ability to capitalize on its specialization and set of skills obtained through meticulous planning and development and involves setting goals using analysis tools to compare options and prioritize constructs. Evaluation approaches to strategic planning lack adaptability and durability. Thus, a high-level deductive instrument that aggregates trade-offs and prioritizes the most essential aspects is needed. This study used the Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchical Procedure (FAHP) to examine whether the University of Jeddah's strategy formulation process improves strategy and planning. This study defined the objectives and criteria, established pairwise comparisons based on the owners of the strategic plan and the faculty and administration questionnaire responses, assigned weights to each criterion, verified their consistency, and ranked them in importance order. This study showed that FAHP can help groups make strategic planning decisions in universities.

“…The traditional data collecting procedure can be a laborious job [1,2]. Over the past four decades, geotechnical information has been integrated into a computerized database management system called Geographic Information System (GIS), which is a process of mapping and integrating computer founded information [3]. It is an excellent means of geographic access to spatial data acquired from different sources because of its ability to manage large amounts of data.…”

“…It is an excellent means of geographic access to spatial data acquired from different sources because of its ability to manage large amounts of data. It is a tool for capturing, displaying and, analyzing geographically referenced data [2][3][4][5][6]. GIS played a very important role in geotechnical engineering including preliminary site investigations, better understanding of the scope of possible solutions, the integration of any type of information, interpolation for obtaining data at inaccessible locations and less time may be spent on data analysis and acquisition than on data integration [2,7].…”

Development of a Geotechnical Database using the Geographic Information System Approach

The present work aimed primarily to carry out a synthesis of the nature of the soil in the town of Djelfa and to develop a database of existing geological and geotechnical data that are available in order to put them at the disposal of all potential users, whether scientific or operational. The carried out work consisted in collecting and organizing the existing geological and geotechnical data on a geographical information system. The criteria were first identified (allowable stresses, allowable depths, etc.) and then maps with the different important factors were developed. Subsequently, these maps were superimposed to arrive, after a succession of generalizations of the geotechnical map, at an official final map with geotechnical terms. The interpretation of the obtained results allows for identifying the contributions and placing limits to the results and then trying to apply this method to other sites presenting similar problems and context. It should be noted that the maps produced are intended to enlighten decision-makers and planners when dealing with areas that are expected to be urbanized. They can also be helpful when conducting a preliminary study before the geotechnical study.

“…Following the example of the majority of Algerian cities, the city of M'sila underwent, after the independence of Algeria in 1962, an important process of urbanization due to the natural increase of the population and the phenomenon of rural exodus [1]. This urbanization has been accompanied by an accelerated increase in the rate of land consumption to meet the strong demand for housing and public facilities [2]. The urbanization phenomenon was amplified at the beginning of the '90s due to the poor political and security conditions that the country experienced during this period [3].…”

Illegal Construction Imposed by the Private Lands in Peripheral Urban Areas of M’sila, Algeria

Urban building lands are considered a scarce resource, which forces us to rationalize their use and assignment. They play an important role in shaping the urban space with all its components and determine its characteristics. The impact on urban space depends on the legal nature of the land, the density of buildings, and the quality of social cohesion. Like all Algerian cities, the city of M'sila has experienced, since the '90s, an increasing demand for building plots, especially in the outskirts which are mostly private properties. This situation directly contributed to the spread of illegal constructions and as a result, districts lack basic living conditions. This phenomenon appeared in the peripheral district called La Rocade. In this paper, we will attempt to identify the impact of the legal nature of land properties, particularly private ones, on the proliferation of illegal constructions in the outskirts of the city of M'sila. We will try to find solutions and alternatives to limit or stop its spread and propose urban interventions to restructure this district and integrate it into the existing urban space.
