Box 179, New Borg Al-Arab City, 21934 Alexandria, Egypt. * Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract— This paper tends to introduce a trip generation model for Alexandria city-Egypt. This model can be implemented in the transportation planning process of the city since the city suffers from harsh transportation and travel problems. The model relates daily exchanged numbers (Q and Z) of trips at different Transportation Analysis Zone (TAZs) to its socio-economic data. Analysis of socio-economic and demographic data of different TAZs has been performed. Zonal data has been involved in Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) technique. Investigate attributes affect each of trip generation and trip attraction, the significant level of individual socio-economic variables for Q and Z has been statistically evaluated. Statistical indicators have been used to assess and verify the performance of the developed trip generation models. The model shows good performance since the models introduced acceptable CR values of 0.55 for Q model and higher value of 0.72 for Z model, NMSE 0.39 and 0.11 for Q and Z models respectively, and MG of 0.73 and 0.85 respectively. -

They have an obligation towards their past, as they grow and develop. They should not lose their identity or destroy their history. In Egypt, and especially in Alexandria City, the battle between heritage conservation and real estate investment exists and raging. Are we obliged to keep old buildings although they have lost their original settings? The debate of either keeping or demolishing some of the heritage stock to make way for new real estate development is argued in this research at the administrative, public and private levels. This research took into consideration the situation of real estate investments and building laws in Alexandria in the last nine years, since the establishment of the Technical Secretariat of the Standing Committee of the Heritage Conservation Commission in Alexandria. The discussion aims to point out the problems and clarify how to manage heritage buildings in Alexandria and at the same time maintain steady real estate investment. The research also presents a case study on the current building situation in the municipality of San-Stefano, where some heritage buildings are listed while the majority of the area is modernised. -

International Journal of Engineering and Technical Research (IJETR) ISSN: 2321-0869 (O) 2454-4698 (P), Volume-5, Issue-1, May 2016 The Implications of and Institutional Barriers to Compact Land Use and Transportation Planning: Alexandria, Egypt Moustafa Hassan Abourisha However, the existed transport infrastructure has not been Abstract— Land use and transportation compact planning is able to accommodate increases in travel demand, causing high indispensable in rapidly growing cities, such as Alexandria, levels of congestion. Alexandria‟s spatial expansion and Egypt. The centralized system in Egypt is tackling the process of increasing of population have caused severe changes in travel integrated plans, as decisions made by an authority are not demand and the modes of transport used in the city. Integrated reviewed and discussed with local authorities, also there are too policy and planning have isolated visions. Therefore, many institutions involved in the development plans for Alexandria city. The current land use and transport planning particular land use or transport issues are managed in and practice in Alexandria city focus on different visions, such separation. Facing transport problems, transport planners that neither land use nor transport problems are managed focus on solving the problems and improving the effectively or efficiently. This study provides a closer look on the transportation system. Transport planners pay little attention current situation of and land use indications and urban to the urban distribution of land use. On the other hand, land transportation system and the institutional system controlling use planners focus on standing up to urban growth and land the planning process within the city to identify the barriers to use without considering the effects on transport demand.
