Urban Management of City Centers the Road to The Sustainable Development (Sustainable Land Use Management)

Abstract

The urban management, municipal councils and their local committees, in addition to the laws, and regulations enacting them, play an important role in defining economic, social and environmental scenarios, and directing them towards achieving sustainable development. Sustainability in all its forms. The research seeks to identify the mechanisms and concepts of urban management in general and the management of urban land uses in city centers in particular, and how to use them optimally and achieve the best distribution of their uses in order to be sustainable and achieve sustainable development in the city center by integrating the principles of sustainability in the urban management process to become As a result, we have a vibrant sustainable center. In the theoretical framework, concepts related to the city center, its importance, characteristics, components and limits were presented. The concepts of sustainability and sustainable development were also presented, and what are its objectives, dimensions, standards, and approaches, in addition to defining the sustainable city center and its components and how, and through the theoretical framework, indicators of sustainable urban management were extracted. On the practical side, the researcher used the field surveys of the study area (the old Rusafa Center) in addition to distributing the questionnaire form to the specialists from the planning and executive departments of the study area to show the extent of their agreement and disagreement about the extent of the application of sustainable urban management indicators within the context of the work of the current urban management system. The results of the research showed a shortcoming in the adoption of the principles of sustainability within the context of the work of the current urban management, as the results of the questionnaire showed the non-conformity of most of the indicators that were applied to the current urban management system.

Land Use Planning and Green Environment Services: The Contribution of Trail Paths to Sustainable Development

“…The prevalent and most controversial issue that links land use in the natural-built environment is the identification of those mechanisms and concepts of urban management in general, together with the management of urban land uses in city centers in particular. Consequently, research has been directed to investigate the extent of how to use these factors optimally in order to achieve the best distribution of their uses in a sustainable way that could foster sustainable development in the city center by integrating the principles of sustainability in the urban management process [14][15][16]. Under this logic there is a vibrant sustainable center and the concepts of sustainability and sustainable development can be also determined by their clear objectives, dimensions, standards, and approaches, in addition to defining the sustainable city center and its components, disclosing those theoretically-generated indicators of sustainable urban management that could be extracted [14].…”

In addition, the relevant research can also point out those constraints towards adopting the principles of sustainability within the context of current urban management, which is mainly attributed to a questionnaire on non-conformal or abiding trends among the indicators surveyed and applied to the current urban management system [14].…”

Integrated Zoning Protection of Urban Remains from Perspective of Sustainable Development—A Case Study of Changchun

“…With the sustained and rapid development of China's economy and society and the abundance of material life, heritage protection, inheritance and high-quality development have become important supports for the harmonious and sustainable development of cities. Urban remains record the history of the development and continuation of human civilization, contain rich historical and cultural information, and are an indispensable part of understanding the history of a country and a nation [1][2][3][4][5]. Over the past 40 years of reform and opening up, my country has accumulated rich experience in the exploration and practice of historical heritage protection, and the protection work at all levels has achieved fruitful results.…”
