  • Estimate Attraction Rate for Shopping Centers
    Transport technic and technology Volume XVI Issue 1 Year 2020 DOI: 10.2478/ttt-2020-0001 ESTIMATE ATTRACTION RATE FOR SHOPPING CENTERS Abstract. In developing countries like Baghdad, it has seen high growth of urbanization accompanied by the high trip rate, which conduces increased vehicle traffic and human traffic. One of the major problems is the increase in traffic congestion of unplanned development of various structures at various locations. Four-step demand models are important in planning and forecasting future demand. Trip generation is an important step when planning urban infrastructure. In this study, three shopping centers (AL Mansour mall, Babylon mall, and al Waha mall) were selected, trip attraction rates were calculated using two approaches (trip rate analysis method, and Regression analysis method). The number of persons entering and exiting the site for every 15-minute interval during peak hours is estimated. This research considers various physical characteristics of shopping centers, gross floor area (GFA), number of employees and the number of stores in the shopping center. From the data analysis, good relations exist between the dependent variable (trip rate) and various independent variables, and the developed trip rate per GFA per 1000 m2 is 133 person trips and various trip rates are presented through this study. Keywords: Trip Rate; Regression Analysis; Trip attraction; Trip Generation. Noor Moutaz Asmael1 1 Assist.

The statistical information included in this report is drawn from the data NCTC maintains on the www.nctc.gov website. The report includes the following: -- this foreword, which provides important context for the contents of this report; -- a methodology section that explains how the data was compiled and the inherent limitations of the data; -- NCTC observations related to the statistical material; -- statistical charts and graphs; and -- summaries of high fatality attacks during 2007 -- academic letter on challenges to cataloging attacks Section 2656f(b) of Title 22 of the U.S. Code requires the State Department to include in its annual report on terrorism "to the extent practicable, complete statistical information on the number of individuals, including United States citizens and dual nationals, killed, injured, or kidnapped by each terrorist group during the preceding calendar year." While NCTC keeps statistics on the annual number of incidents of "terrorism," its ability to track the specific groups responsible for each attack involving killings, kidnappings, and injuries is significantly limited by the availability of reliable open source information, particularly for events involving small numbers of casualties. The statistical material compiled in this report, therefore, is drawn from the number of attacks of "terrorism" that occurred in 2007, which is the closest figure that is practicable for NCTC to supply in satisfaction of the above-referenced statistical requirements.

Cordesman Arleigh A. Burke Chai r in Strategy [email protected] With the Assistance of Emma Davies Updated: January 26, 2007 Cordesman: Iraq’s Sectarian and Ethnic Violence 1/26/07 Page 2 Executive Summary The insurgency in Iraq has become a “war after the war” that threa tens to divide the country and create a full -scale civil conflict. It has triggered sectarian and ethnic violence that dominates the struggle to reshape Iraq as a modern state, has emerged as a growing threat to the Gulf region, and has become linked to th e broader struggle between Sunni and Shi’ite Islamist extremism, and moderation and reform, throughout the Islamic world. Since its inception in the spring of 2003, the nature of the fighting in Iraq has evolved from a struggle between Coalition forces and former regime loyalists to a much more diffuse conflict, involving a number of Sunni groups, Shi’ite militias, and foreign jihadists, and which has spread to become a widespread civil conflict. In the process, the complex patterns of conflict in Iraq ha ve become a broad struggle for sectarian and ethnic control of political and economic space. Open violence has become steadily more serious, but it is only part of the story.
