  • Spatial Prediction of Coastal Flood- Susceptible Areas in Muscat Governorate Using an Entropy Weighted Method

    Spatial Prediction of Coastal Flood- Susceptible Areas in Muscat Governorate Using an Entropy Weighted Method

    Risk Analysis XII 121 SPATIAL PREDICTION OF COASTAL FLOOD- SUSCEPTIBLE AREAS IN MUSCAT GOVERNORATE USING AN ENTROPY WEIGHTED METHOD HANAN Y. AL-HINAI & RIFAAT ABDALLA Earth Sciences Department, College of Science, Sultan Qaboos University, Sultanate of Oman ABSTRACT Flooding is one of the most commonly occurring natural hazards worldwide. Mapping and evaluation of potential flood hazards are vital parts of flood risk assessment and mitigation. This study focuses on predicting the coastal flood susceptibility area in Muscat Governorate, Sultanate of Oman. First, it is assumed that the occurrence of a hazard can be determined based on the indicators influencing it. Thus, four indicators were selected and classified into five classes based on their contribution to flood hazard probability; these include ground elevation, slope degree, soil hydrologic group, and distance from the coast. Then, the entropy weighted method was applied to calculate the weights of given indicators in influencing flood hazards. The results were finally aggregated into ArcGIS software and the produced maps were reclassified into five coastal flood susceptibility zones. The results show that the soil indicator has the highest rate of weight in Wilayats Bawshar, Muttrah, Muscat and Qurayyat. While the elevation indicator has the highest rate of flood hazard in Wilayat AlSeeb. The weight results were used then for calculation of flood hazard index which was then classified into five classes of flood hazard susceptibility zones. The results of this work will be very useful in pursuing work on assessing the potential of multiple hazard risk interactions. It is essential to include certain indicators such as land use and land cover in future work, as they play a major role in water infiltration and runoff behaviour.

Abdul Rahim Razak Faculty of Technology and Informatics, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Malaysia N. H. Hussain Razak Faculty of Technology and Informatics, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Malaysia Doi: 10.2478/mjss-2018-0175 Abstract SME has a significant impact on the growth and development of any nation economy. The entrepreneurship in Oman expected to be a leading factor in the economic due to the opportunities afforded by increasing economic diversification and corresponding rise in job opportunities and other benefits. However, entrepreneurship has faced many challenges and obstacles to its progress and growth in Oman, despite the fact that the government has supported this sector to stimulate the market. However, studies show that many challenges are still plague both startups and governments. This study therefore aims to develop an ecosystem for entrepreneurship in the Omani context as a new solution to overcome such challenges. Entrepreneurship ecosystem has a positive influence on business growth and on the creation of new businesses, with the result that this concept has received attention from both academics and policy makers. By using a qualitative research method, a total of 10 interviewees were selected to answer the major research questions and thus provide more explanation about the issues that SME faces and find the exact factors that can influence these types of enterprises.

This scientific forum continues the fine tradition established in 1998 and reaffirms our strong commitment to prevent disease, reduce health disparities, and promote wellness in the community at large. ACCESS has strategically designed this conference to enhance its partnership with the Ministry of Health of the Sultanate of Oman. Arab Americans share a cultural and linguistic heritage, as well as common risk factors and disease patterns tied to their Arab ancestry. As is the case for other immigrant groups, when Arab populations settle in areas such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and Europe, they experience socioeconomic transformations, changes in lifestyle, and educational factors that lead to a change in the prevalence of disease, marked by the emergence of chronic illnesses. The upcoming conference, which will be held in Muscat, The Sultanate of Oman, adds an international perspective by offering medical practitioners, public health and mental health professionals the opportunity to meet with their

    PREFACE This Distribution System Capability Statement (DSCS) is provided by Muscat Electricity Distribution Company (MEDC) to fulfil its regulatory obligations under Condition number 32 of the MEDC Distribution and Supply Licence as well as the Oman Distribution Planning Code 4.4. MEDC supplies electricity to customers throughout the Muscat Governate as the owner and operator of its electricity distribution system originating from the 33kV busbars of the Oman Electricity Transmission Company (OETC) 132/33kV grid substations down to the final customer’s point of connection; which incorporates 33kV, 11kV and Low Voltage (LV) distribution system voltage levels and associated assets. The aim of this DSCS is to provide an up-to-date distribution system capability for the next three years (2021-2023) along with data to enable customers in identifying parts of the system; which offer opportunities for future connections or upgrading of existing connections to the MEDC system and where constraints currently exist or potentially could exist in future. In addition to the required data made available annually as part of DSCS; MEDC additionally has provided improved detailed system connectivity and additional technical data of assets, impact analysis of Cost Reflective Tariff (CRT) on MEDC customers and an overview of the photovoltaic (PV) system penetration in the MEDC distribution system which is gaining momentum in our licenced area as well. These additions are expected to provide customers and other stakeholders with a transparent understanding of MEDC distribution system and operational overview, sufficient technical parameters to undertake initial system capabilities assessment and the overall distribution system development. Additionally, this year the world including MEDC customers and hence its network have experienced a force-majure event triggered due to the COVID-19 pandemic which has temporarily but significantly impacted electricity demand including future growth in the MEDC licenced area.

    2007 Urban Remote Sensing Joint Event Monitoring and Modeling Urban Expansion Using GIS & RS: Case Study from Muscat, Oman * Dr. Talal Al-Awadhi Geography Department, Sultan Qaboos University P.O. Box 42 P.C. 123, Al-Khoudh, Sultanate of Oman Tel: + 968 99250060 Fax: 00968 515851 [email protected] Abstract Oman is one example of such population growth: the total population in the 2003 Census reached 2340815, with an This research aims to measure and to model the urban expansion of annual increase of 2.1%. Population increase among the Omani Greater Muscat using the combined techniques of geographical was higher than that among other nationalities residing in information systems (GIS) and satellite remote sensing (RS). Basing Oman due to the steady ‘Omanisation’ of employment posts. on detailed datasets and knowledge of historical land use maps, The UN predicts that the total population of Oman will reach 5 attempts were made to simulate future growth patterns of the city. A million by 2050 (Figure 2). significantly detailed dataset of land use for Greater Muscat, derived from an assemblage of aerial photographs and high resolution 5000 satellite imagery, was assessed. The outcome of this exercise was the design of six land use maps covering the years 1960, 1970, 1980, 4500 4000 1990, 2000 and 2003. The results show that the area of Greater 3500 Muscat has expanded by 650% in the period 1970-2003 with an 3000 annual growth rate of approximately 20%. 2500 2000 An important objective of this study is to determine the extent to 1500 which such changes could be modeled and used to forecast and 1000 simulate patterns of change in the future.
