- ItemGIS-Based Airport Sites Suitability (ASS) Mapping in the West Bank, Palestine(2025) يوسف عودة; محمد نافعEstablishing a contemporary and effective air travel system is essential for economic development and global connectivity, especially in regions with geopolitical challenges like the West Bank and Palestine. The objective of this project is to determine the optimal locations for airport development in the West Bank through the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), multi criteria decision analysis (MCDA), and consultations with stakeholders. The research starts with a comprehensive analysis of the existing transportation system in the West Bank, as well as its demographic distribution and economic activities. Discussions with specialists and community members assist in pinpointing and prioritizing essential factors for choosing an airport location, including environmental, socioeconomic, and logistical aspects. These criteria encompass factors such as landscape (elevation, gradient, and orientation), proximity to metropolitan regions, nearness to transportation systems, and noise influence areas, airspace limitations and environmental sensitivity. The study's findings will identify several potential airport sites, each of which will be assessed for suitability and conformity with international aviation standards for safety, environmental protection, and operational efficiency. The most appropriate site will be recommended, as well as implementation tactics and proposals for future improvements in West Bank air transportation policy.

- Item3D Web-Based Mapping for the Faculty of Engineering – An-Najah National University(2024) احمد حمامري; محمد ابو لبدهThis project represents the continuation of Graduation Project 1, which proposed the construction of a bridge connecting Is'ad Al-Tufula Park to the Al-Shaka' (Batteries) Intersection on Jerusalem Street, located in the eastern region of Nablus. This area has undergone significant urban expansion in recent years, resulting in increased residential, commercial, and educational development. Consequently, vehicular and pedestrian traffic has surged,particularly at the Balata Intersection, a critical junction linking the Nablus city center with over 30 surrounding eastern villages and towns. The intersection currently experiences severe traffic congestion, inadequate pedestrian infrastructure, and a lack of functional traffic control measures. Although traffic signals were installed in the past, they were later deactivated due to public interference. Given that previous studies deemed the construction of a roundabout at the Balata Intersection unfeasible due to space limitations and high traffic volumes, the project team collaborated with engineers from the Nablus Municipality's Highway and Traffic Department to explore alternative solutions. As a result, it was agreed to implement an overpass starting at Is'ad Al-Tufula Park and extending to Jerusalem Street at the Al-Shaka' Intersection. This overpass aims to improve traffic flow by separating city center-bound traffic from vehicles coming from Balata Camp, thus alleviating congestion along this vital corridor. The current phase of the project focuses on the structural design of the proposed bridge using reinforced concrete. The design process incorporates SAP2000 for structural analysis and AutoCAD for the generation of detailed drawings and architectural plans. The bridge is designed in compliance with structural safety standards, durability requirements, and aesthetic considerations, while also accounting for environmental and economic impacts. Additionally, the project proposes the construction of a small roundabout beneath the overpass at Balata Intersection to help regulate local traffic and prioritize movement from Balata Camp toward Jerusalem Street. The potential implementation of a momentary pedestrian traffic signal is also being studied to enhance safety for foot traffic. This project is contributed significantly to the infrastructure development of Nablus, offering a practical and sustainable solution to a longstanding traffic challenge and serving as a model for future urban planning initiatives in the region.
- ItemStudying Olive Trees Age دراسة عمر أشجار الزيتون(2025) ميسره عوده; رؤى بري; حيدر ديابThe age and spatial distribution of olive trees play a crucial role in resource management, environmental monitoring, and agricultural productivity. Remote sensing techniques, such as the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), drones, and LIDAR technology, provide valuable insights into these factors. Understanding the age and distribution of olive trees aids farmers and land managers in optimizing resource allocation, improving yield estimation, and planning future planting efforts. Moreover, remote sensing helps monitor environmental changes, detect early signs of pest infestations or diseases, and assess the impact of climate change on agricultural landscapes. These techniques also support government agencies and policymakers in formulating effective agricultural policies and promoting sustainable farming practices. Utilizing remote sensing for olive tree analysis enhances cultivation practices, ensures food security, and contributes to environmental conservation. The study employs drones to capture aerial images and LIDAR technology for comprehensive surveys, comparing results to determine olive tree age and estimate productivity. This non-invasive approach offers an efficient method for farmers and researchers to manage olive groves and make informed decisions, ultimately improving agricultural efficiency and sustainability.
- ItemGIS based Landslides Susceptibility Mapping LSM ) in the West Bank, Palestine(2024) صبري برهم; ركن بواقنه; ناصر شرفاLandslides are a significant geological hazard, threatening lives, properties, and environmental stability worldwide. This project focuses on the development of a Landslides Susceptibility Map (LSM) for the West Bank, Palestine, utilizing a Geographic Information System (GIS)-based Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). The West Bank's complex topography and geological diversity, characterized by its mountainous terrain and varied climatic conditions, increase its vulnerability to landslides. Recent events, such as the devastating landslide in Nablus, highlight the urgent need for effective land-use planning and risk mitigation. This project employs a GIS-based multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) approach, integrating nine key criteria: soil, rainfall, land use, road distance, drainage distance, elevation, slope, aspect, and curvature. The AHP method is utilized to weigh these criteria, ensuring a comprehensive and reliable LSM. The project aims to inventory existing landslides, identify high-risk areas, and propose sustainable plans and mitigation strategies to protect the West Bank's population and infrastructure. The study reveals that approximately 26% (1,464 km²) and 15% (828 km²) of the total area of the West Bank are highly and very highly susceptible to landslides, respectively. Meanwhile, areas with moderate susceptibility to landslides constitute about 26% (1,412 km²) of the total area of the West Bank. Finally, regions with low and very low susceptibility to landslides account for approximately 18% (1,023 km²) and 15% (822 km²) of the total area of the West Bank, respectively. The resulting LSM provides a crucial tool for policymakers, planners, and stakeholders in Palestine, showing sustainable land use and enhancing public safety. It addresses the urgent need for a national spatial plan that considers landslide risks, aiding in the development of proactive measures to prevent future disasters. This project contributes significantly to the field of engineering geology and geomorphology, demonstrating the effectiveness of GIS and AHP in landslide susceptibility mapping and analysis.
