Journal of the planner and development

The indicators were important core for any work, and may be occurring this indicators way of communicating among planers and decision makers, even also for public participating, do make any decision. The urban and regional planning is one of those science highly depending on using indictors, for two reasons, first, way to communicating ideas between specialist and non-specialist, (politician and decision makers), the second one, this field are multidisciplinary science, so the need indictors to clearing thoughts among different backgrounds in one team, as common language.
This research tries to clear importance of GIS in forming and building Spatial Planning Indicators, to cross communication problem among planning groups, planner, and decision maker, supposing the Spatial Database for GIS have flexibility for expressing about wide range to any spatial place, with wide range of variables and features, to get the research purpose by depending on this technologies as major element to analyze space from spatial planner.
Research methodology depends on spatial indicators importunity, and it is role in planning process, then explore who we can doing that practically in the real case study to Ministry of Planning, 2016, therefore, we can ask to make this experiment, by using differentiate spatial indicators for planning purpose. We were doing this study in DDLG in Babylon governorate, the researcher was the consultant of this study.
The main result we concluded are important of supporting academic disciplinary with GIS spatial analysis courses, with trying to finding clear discipline in this scientific field, besides that, we can also depend GIS analysis in the work of all institutional and governmental bodies, especially the leaders’ positions, must have the ability to deal with GIS and spatial dimension in their thinking.

Sustainability is a major demand and need pursued by cities in all areas of life due to the environmental, social and economic gains they provide, especially in the field of city planning and urban renewal projects that aim to integrate the past, present and future.

The research aims to evaluate the Haifa Street renewal project, and Al-Shawaka district, one of the Baghdad districts located next to Al-Karkh, was elected by comparing the sustainability indicators of urban renewal with the reality of the situation through a field survey and questionnaire form and focusing on the social and economic impacts and environmental for the project on the study area. To reach the most important conclusions and recommendations that must be adopted in the renewal projects to reach sustainability.



The research reached the most important conclusions, represented by weakness Urban interconnectedness of a region Study by social isolation resulting from social inequality and economical for community groups between the traditional region of the region Al Shawaka and the Haifa Street housing project enhanced the spatial alienation of the study area community. Here, two important elements of urban sustainability are weakened, which are the social and economic aspect. Likewise,

the presence of a kind of intercalation of the urban fabric with new forms according to technological techniques led to a dispersion in the awareness of the recipient living in the region and reinforced his feeling of alienation and thus strengthened the social dependence of the old region from its new surroundings.
According to the data of the descriptive analysis of the city, the research concludes that there is an urban disconnection in the general landscape of the study area, and this discontinuity strengthened the isolation of the study area due to the development projects of the area. The research recommends to adhere to the dimensions of sustainability in urban renewal projects to reach a state of balance between the traditional area and the new area through community participation in planning decisions.

The study of the characteristics of the heritage fabric is one of the important things in studies of conservation and rehabilitative use. There are three main elements of rehabilitation and they are considered the basis for achieving the rehabilitation process and these elements are (development, sustainability, participation) and that the first item addressed in the research is heritage and urban fabric in heritage areas where characteristics have been studied And a problem, while the second term is rehabilitation, where the concept of rehabilitation, the types and causes of the process of rehabilitation and the benefits and qualifications that affect the urban fabric that are represented (social, economic, religious and political) were studied and building a comprehensive theoretical framework for the concept of rehabilitation Urban as an integrated process that includes a set of levels, characteristics and mechanisms
The research was based on achieving the goals and tackling the research problem based on a hypothesis stating that the process of rehabilitation in the urban fabric of heritage areas can be realized by achieving the mechanism, its components and its vocabulary.
For the purpose of validating the hypothesis, a region (Karimat area - Baghdad) was chosen and tested using the questionnaire method distributed on intentional samples (with specialists), and the positive effects of the rehabilitation process on the characteristics of urban tissue and its activities were revealed .

Urban agriculture is one of the important urban uses of land in cities since the inception of cities and civilizations, but the great expansion of cities in the world during the twentieth century and the beginning of the twentieth century and the increase in the number of urban residents compared to the rural population has led to a decline in this use in favor of other uses.
This decline in agricultural and green land areas in cities has negatively affected the environment, natural life and biological diversity in cities in addition to the great impact on the climate and the increase in temperatures and the negative impact on the economic side, since urban agriculture is an important pillar of the economy, especially for the poor groups that are adopted in their lives on this activity. Specialists in the field of environmental protection and urban and regional planning have recently warned about the importance of urban agriculture in cities and its effective role in achieving sustainability and food security for cities, combating climate change and other environmental problems associated with the decline of vegetation cover.
This research aims to review global experiences in using urban agriculture to achieve urban sustainability and to clarify the important role of urban agriculture in achieving environmental balance in cities, confronting climate change and achieving self-sufficiency in cities.

The study of services in villages is one of the imperative matters that must be focused on, because it leads to increased attention, which reduces the differences between the countryside and the urban. The extent of its.
It is well known that community services need to be reached by a person, unlike the anchor services that reach people, here the population distribution plays an important and prominent role in signing these services, so the dispersed distribution pattern and the gathering pattern appeared in the distribution, thus an effect on the time and distance that the person walked to obtain The services are community-based. Therefore, there appeared an integration in the components of the village, especially the residential and agricultural. The research has been enhanced by field study, especially the questionnaire, which was distributed to a random sample of the population, dependingon the number of the population, ie approximately 110 forms were distributed to include all the communities of the village, and the analysis included the nearest neighbor technique in geographic information systems.components of the village were subjected to sabotage and destruction in the war against ISIS, including shops, a mosque and a school, and they need great financial capabilities. Some services suffer from difficulty accessing them if some of them reach 3 km as in services Health andeducational, in addition to the dispersal of these services, and the researcher recommended compensation for the affected people in an urgent manner, especially the shops, building the destroyed mosque and
the Qatfan school, with changing their locations and making them more effective and attracting the population,
Adopting planning standards when establishing any service or use so that it serves the largest number of residents within the village and neighboring villages .
