Abstract
The research dealt with the application of the spatial spread analysis of the slums housing areas in the city of Zagazig using geographic information systems, and the spatial distribution pattern of the slums and the regions were classified in terms of the area into (large, medium, and small). And it determined the spatial spread of these areas: the central area of the city with a radius of 1.5 km, the next area on the borders of the urban boundary with a distance of about 1.5: 3 km, and the area outside the urban boundaries, including Shaybah and Nakaria, about 3: 4.5 km. The results of the research revealed that small slum areas are the most prevalent in the central region, representing \(61.54\%\) and an area of \(13.22\%\), but large areas represent a total area of \(49.11\%\) and therefore small areas can be removed and large areas developed. With the provision of alternative and safe housing according to a plan and decision of the state. And by defining future development policies and dealing with priorities, priority is given to the closest and largest region of the central region in Zagazig city, according to decisions and studies by the state in the following order: 16, 36, 21, 27, 31, 32, 33, 15, 35, 37, 34, 17, 24, 28, 20, 22, 19, 39, 38, 30, 25, 8, 4, 26, 23, 5, 7, 29, 12, 18, 2, 13, 14, 6, 3, 11, 9, 10, 1.
期刊介绍:
Applied Geomatics (AGMJ) is the official journal of SIFET the Italian Society of Photogrammetry and Topography and covers all aspects and information on scientific and technical advances in the geomatics sciences. The Journal publishes innovative contributions in geomatics applications ranging from the integration of instruments, methodologies and technologies and their use in the environmental sciences, engineering and other natural sciences.
The areas of interest include many research fields such as: remote sensing, close range and videometric photogrammetry, image analysis, digital mapping, land and geographic information systems, geographic information science, integrated geodesy, spatial data analysis, heritage recording; network adjustment and numerical processes. Furthermore, Applied Geomatics is open to articles from all areas of deformation measurements and analysis, structural engineering, mechanical engineering and all trends in earth and planetary survey science and space technology. The Journal also contains notices of conferences and international workshops, industry news, and information on new products. It provides a useful forum for professional and academic scientists involved in geomatics science and technology.
