Foreword Hono. Governor of Hebron

In our efforts to achieve sustainable development at the national and local levels, and as we believe that the only way to reach this end is to use planning as a tool, we have worked together in partnership with the Ministry of Local Government to prepare the Spatial Development Strategic Framework (SDSF) for Hebron Governorate (2030). The goal is to promote the development reality, in general, achieve social justice, and provide basic services to citizens according to international quality standards. This is a step to ensure and achieve the ingredients of steadfastness to our people in Hebron Governorate. This would be done along with the optimal use of available resources and equal opportunities for all in order to achieve sustainable local development within the possibilities available.

This ambitious strategic plan reflects the true reality of the capabilities, possibilities, needs, and obstacles of achieving development in general, and the best means to maximize the development components within the available resources. We seek, in partnership with all local and national institutions and in full harmony with the national plan, to implement the programs and projects included in this plan within the agreed on timetables. We also hope that we, in partnership with all, will be able to achieve the goals and outcomes of the strategic plan document for Hebron 2030.

Introduction Methodology The preparation of the Spatial Development Strategic Framework (SDSF) for Hebron Governorate (City-region The SDSF adopted the participatory approach of working in partnership with citizens, civil society organizations, plan for Hebron) is part of the project “Fostering Tenure Security and Resilience of Palestinian Communities local councils, government institutions, and several other relevant parties in Hebron Governorate. This was also through Spatial-Economic Planning Interventions in Area C (2017-2020)”, funded by the European Union and guided by the work mechanisms and planning included in the “Strategic Planning Manual for the Governorates” managed by the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat), in collaboration with the Min- and was also guided by the “Urban Planning Manual: Procedures and Tools for Preparing Master Plans in the istry of Local Government and Hebron Governorate. The consultants provided technical support and advisory West Bank and Gaza Strip”, in particular with regard to the preparation of the SDSF in the governorate. assistance to the local committees throughout the different stages of preparation of the city-region plan. The methodology of preparing this plan for Hebron Governorate has basically been based on implementing This document presents a summary of the SDSF for Hebron Governorate for the next 12 years. It presents an three basic phases, each containing several steps. Each step also includes different sub-activities, as shown in analytical summary of the reality of Hebron Governorate, as well as the shared development vision agreed Figure 1. based on a multi-stakeholder approach.

10 11 Hebron Governorate Spatial Development Strategic Framework (2030) Overview of Hebron Governorate Hebron Governorate’s climate ranges from dry to semi-dry, and the severity of drought towards the Negev desert Hebron Governorate is located in the southern part of the West Bank, about 36 km away of Jerusalem. It is in the south and the Jordan Valley in the east. The governorate is characterized by a large variation in its elevation bordered in the north by Bethlehem Governorate and by the Armistice Line, the so-called Green Line of 1949 from the Mean Sea Level (MSL) and in its topographic nature. The governorate has a mountain belt located on in the other three directions (ARIJ, 2009) (see Map 1). The area of Hebron Governorate is 937 km2. According the western side of the Jordan Valley. The heights in the governorate range from 140 meters below MSL and 1,014 to the nature of land use in the governorate, it includes Palestinian residential areas, Israeli settlements, Israeli meters above MSL. The governorate lands are divided into four main types of terrain: the inner plain, the central military bases, closed military areas by the Israeli occupation forces, nature reserves, forests, and arable land. hills region, the central mountains, and wilderness. Water shortage in the Hebron Governorate is a serious problem, not only because of dry and semi-arid climatic Hebron Governorate, which dates back more than seven thousand years, is a holy place for the three monotheis- conditions, but also because of the Israeli control of the Palestinian water resources and the severe restrictions on tic religions. It includes the sanctuaries of prophets, messengers, and companions. There are also several ancient the use of these resources. mosques, religious corners, archaeological, and historical landmarks. According to the 2017 census, total population of Hebron is 711.233, which is 24.7% of the total population of the West Bank. 86.9% of the total population of Hebron Governorate is urban, 10.8% are rural, and 2.3% are camp resi- dents. Males constitute 51.5% and females account for 48.5% of the governorate’s population.

The current geopolitical situation represents the most important challenge facing the strategic development aspirations of Hebron Governorate. This is characterized by spatial fragmentation and contraction of the governorate’s space, which is the potential space for urban expansion operations and for exploiting the development of various economic and social sectors. The process of continuously dividing the governorate’s territory for building and expanding Israeli settlements, bypass roads, the separation wall, the identification of natural areas, military camps, and checkpoints poses a major challenge to any development orienta- tion of the people of the governorate. In order to face this, a great deal of effort is required by the responsible authorities and in cooperation with the relevant international institutions. Israel has carried out a series of measures on the ground to tighten its control over the governorate and to put restrictions in an effort to de-populate the governorate. These measures include inter-alia: construction of Israeli settlements, separation wall, military checkpoints, bypass roads, and the geopolitical division of the governorate according to the Oslo Accords (II), and Hebron City Protocol H1, H2.

This political division is translated in terms of figures as follows: Area A (24% of total governorate area), Area B (22%), and Area C (48%), and Natural Reserves (6%). This also prevented the Palestinians from exploiting about 50% of their agricultural lands directly, since these lands are located in Area C.

The current division, which defines the land of Hebron Governorate (A, B) by about 50%, makes the process of development fragmented and not even sufficient for urban expansion in the near future.

The decision to develop a SDSF for the Hebron Governorate; with a spatial dimension including the lands in Area C, was timely and important.

Accordingly, the following modifications can be proposed to the hierarchy of service centers in Hebron Gov- ernorate: 1. Raising the hierarchical level of Halhoul and Al-Dhahriya cities from local centers to sub-regional centers, as they fulfill the required services for the sub-regional centers on the one hand and their population size and their service coverage on the other hand. 2. Raising the hierarchical level of the towns of Bani Na’im, Samou, and Tarqumiya from neighboring centers to local centers, as they fulfill the required services, and the population size, and the service coverage of the local centers. 3. Propose the towns of Surif and Beit Awa as local centers as they fulfill the requirement for the local centers in terms of required services, the population size and service coverage, in addition to taking into account the geopolitical dimension of the town of Beit Awa. 4. Suggesting the towns of Sa’ir, Karmel, and Kharas as neighboring centers as they fulfill the requirement for neighboring centers in terms of services, the population size, and service coverage.

Based on the outcomes of the strategic analysis of the different development sectors in Hebron Governorate and the formulation of the strategic framework (the vision and the strategic objectives) and the identification of the proposed programs and projects, it is possible to identify the strategic directions for spatial development in the Governorate during the implementation period of the plan which can be translated to a strategic framework plan for spatial development in the Governorate. The strategic framework plan for spatial development is primarily based on information that describes the geographical and geopolitical conditions of the governorate (location of localities, road networks, political division of the different areas and impact of occupation due to settlements and the separation wall) in addition to the information obtained from the national Protection Plan for Natural Resources and Archaeological Sites (agricultural land classification, biodiversity areas, historical and archeological sites, and others) and the available areas for future urban development in the governorate, which was discussed in the first part of this report. In addition, the framework includes the spatial dimension of the different proposed programs and projects in the Spatial Strategic Development Framework plan for the Hebron Governorate and the proposed future expansion of urban areas and the spatial needs for housing and public services that were identified earlier and the proposed areas for joint planning according to service centers. Map 11 shows the strategic framework plan for spatial development for Hebron Governorate.

Based on the Spatial Strategic Development Framework in the Governorate, a plan for public transportation routes and stations can be developed as shown in Map 12. Also, the connection between green areas can be established as illustrated in Map 13.

Specialized Technical Committees

Formulation: A committee is formulated for each group of projects with the same nature and the same responsibility body. For example, a committee should be formed for projects related to agriculture and led by a representative Conclusions The SDSF for the Governorate of Hebron for the years 2019-2030 is developed based on a participatory approach from the agricultural directorate and the membership from other stakeholders including private sector and to direct the development in the governorate towards the strategic vision developed by representatives from civil society organizations. The technical committee will take the responsibility to coordinate with different the public sector, the private sector, and the civil society. bodies to formulate these committees.

Responsibilities The proposed programs and projects and its spatial distribution focus on resolving the development issues Prepare and follow up the preparation of project implementation requirements such as terms of reference and taking into consideration the need to create a balanced development within the governorate with emphasis proposals through the coordination with project owners. on marginalized communities within Area C since these communities were deprived from the basic needs for social and economic development by the Israeli authorities’ policies. Coordinate with different stakeholders to secure funding for the different projects.

Follow up project implementation with different stakeholders. This strategic plan includes 33 programs and projects in the economic, infrastructure, planning, and social development sectors with a total cost of 778 million US$ distributed over 12 years. Prepare periodic report concerning the progress of work and any obstacles facing projects and submit to the technical committee. To ensure proper implementation of the SDSF, phase four and phase five, which include implementation, monitoring and evaluation mechanisms, need to be followed up. The partnership and cooperation between Support and Lobbying the private sector and the public sector is essential for a successful implementation of acupuncture projects under the strategic framework. In addition, proper governmental support and donor community’s support Concerning the support and lobbying for the plan, it is worth mentioning that an advocacy strategy for are also key for the success of the implementation process. planning and development in Area C was adopted in partnership between UN-Habitat and MoLG between 2016 and 2018 to safeguard the building and planning rights for Palestinian communities in Area C. This can be supported through the lobbying of partners, both national and international, to push the Israeli occupation authorities to enable the Palestinians institutions to plan, construct, and develop their infrastructure and institutional capacities to be able to provide good services and enhance the existence and living conditions of citizens according to the international human rights laws and principles.

The main strategic objectives included in the advocacy plan are:

Prepare and expand the spatial plans and identify sectorial development priorities in villages and communities located in Area C.

Develop and raise the level of basic services provided to citizens both quantitatively and qualitatively.

Freeze demolitions imposed on citizens in Area C and the compliance with international human rights law.

Support the economic growth of the citizens in Area C.
