  • Integrated Approach for the Improvement of Human Comfort in the Public Realm: the Case of the Corniche, the Linear Urban Link of Doha
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Qatar University Institutional Repository American Journal of Sociological Research 2015, 5(4): 89-100 DOI: 10.5923/j.sociology.20150504.01 Integrated Approach for the Improvement of Human Comfort in the Public Realm: The Case of the Corniche, the Linear Urban Link of Doha Mooza AlMohannadi, Samar Zaina, Sara Zaina, Raffaello Furlan* College of Engineering Department of Architecture and Urban Planning, Qatar University, Doha, Qatar Abstract The Corniche is a public realm located in Doha. Its waterfront palm-fringed boulevard and twin carriageway extends in a horseshoe shape and runs 7 km along the Doha Bay and the city's sea-front. Doha Corniche is indisputably the most attractive part of Doha, studded with exciting green surroundings and remarkable modern architecture. The Corniche was formed during the late 1970s and early 1980s, reshaping Doha’s coastline. The public space used to be an empty walkway, however development has expanded in the 21st century with many skyscrapers being built towards the north of the Corniche. Presently, the Doha Corniche is an appealing designation of the economic boom. Today a rapid development of the built environment of Doha including public urban open spaces is witnessed. Open spaces are functional under the circumstance that they are used by the people; however, the open spaces in Doha are vacant due to the unappealing and uncomfortable physical and non-physical factors, namely during summer. This paper proposes an integrated approach for improvement of human comfort conditions in a public outdoor space all year round with emphasis on the summer season.

  • Qatar Diplomatic Crisis - the Continuing Impact
    Client Alert 13 July 2017 CONTACT US | FEEDBACK | FORWARD | WEBSITE UPDATE: Qatar Diplomatic Crisis - The continuing impact The political and economic boycott of Qatar, which began on 5 June 2017 when Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt cut diplomatic ties with Qatar and moved to close off access to the Gulf country, continue to have a significant impact on international trade in the Middle East. Since our previous alerts on 7 June 2017 and 12 June 2017 the following developments have occurred: 1. Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain and Egypt issued a 13-point list of demands to Qatar on 22 June, which included curbing diplomatic ties with Iran, severing all ties with "terrorist organisations", closing the Al Jazeera television network, terminating the joint military cooperation with Turkey, aligning itself with other Gulf and Arab countries' policies, and consenting to audits and annual compliance monitoring. The demands were delivered to Kuwait, which was acting as mediator of the crisis, and Qatar was given 10 days to comply. On 2 July, the boycotting countries agreed to extend the deadline by two days at the request of Kuwait. 2. On 3 July, Qatar responded to the demands but no specific details were publicly released. The Qatari foreign minister said that the demands were not aimed at tackling terrorism but at curtailing Qatar's sovereignty, and were impossible to meet. 3. On 5 July, the foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain and Egypt met in Cairo to consider Qatar's response and discuss the future of the crisis.
