The Establishing of Geospatial Database for Agricultural Lands of Islamic WAQF In Iraq: Case Study Babil Province

Abstract

In numerous countries, one of the most significant pieces of background records is a religious endowment that usually called (WAQF), which have a cultural, and economic value. For instance, in Iraq, religious endowments comprise a large number of dispersed real estates and lands usually required effective administration methods. Agricultural lands that belonged to religious endowments lack of sufficient systems, which are combined statistical and spatial information in terms of spatial monitoring and informatics updating such as ownership and existing condition. Recently, geospatial techniques such as GIS showed a feasibility in the management of information belonged to lands management. Therefore, in this study we proposed a method based on GIS technology for the management of lands of Islamic endowments in Babil province, Iraq. The proposed methodology included the integration between field works using GPS equipment and Geospatial database. The developed database is considered as the first geodatabase related to the agricultural lands of the religious endowment in Iraq included almost all coordinates and specific details for each piece of agricultural lands that owned by the endowment. Furthermore, the output geodatabase is a flexible database included various features like query, search, and statistical computation.

Preparation of LiNbO3 nanoparticles by green synthesis laser ablation in water

“…The extrapolation of the linear section of the curve to the (αhν) 2 = 0 point gives the bandgap energy, which is found to be in the range of (4.25-4.9) eV depending on the laser fluence. The optical energy decreases as laser fluence increases due to the formation of smaller particles at low laser fluence, which can be attributed to the quantum size effect [73][74][75]. These results are consistent with TEM results that revealed that the bandgap energy decreased as the laser fluence increased due to increasing particle size with laser fluence, as shown in figure 6.…”

Site suitability analysis for rural development using geomatics technology in Maysan province/Iraq

“…As of now, the best solution available is to integrate "GIS and RS" Techniques to select safe the environment, socially acceptable, and economically viable village sites. GIS is useful because of its unique ability to do integrate spatially and attribute data analysis [8] to automatically produce maps of candidate sites thereby reducing the cost and time involved in the process [7]. The RS technology can provide up-to-date spatial data.…”
