Corresponding Author: Alboo-Hassan, A. S., Email: [email protected] Abstract— Damietta coastal plain northern of Nile Delta, is a very promising area for energy resources, tourism and industrial activities. It suffered from several changes over the past century, especially in its boundaries and topography. The objective of this work was to study the spatial and temporal changes that took place along the coastal line of Damietta governorate by using RS and GIS techniques. This is in addition to providing an accurate estimation of the areas where erosion and deposition processes take place. For that purpose multi- temporal Landsat data were collected in 1984, 2000, 2011 and 2014. Also, two spectral indices were used in this study, which are the Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) and the World View Water Index (WVWI)) to study the changes along the coastal water/land 2 2 interface. The obtained results indicated that the eroded areas were about 14.08 kmP P from 1984 to 2000, about 3.54 kmP P from 2000 to 2 2 2011, and about 2.05 kmP P from 2011 to 2014.

    Modern Agricultural Science and Technology, ISSN 2375-9402, USA February 2017, Volume 3, No. 1-2, pp. 1-10 Doi: 10.15341/mast(2375-9402)/01.03.2017/001 Academic Star Publishing Company, 2017 www.academicstar.us Added Value from Industries, Introduced in Villages, Oases and Reclaimed Lands Hamed Ibrahim El-Mously1, 2 1. Faculty of Engineering, Ain Shams, Egypt 2. Egyptian Society for Endogenous Development of Local Communities, Egypt Abstract: A considerable portion of the agricultural resources are being treated as valueless waste! This leads to the loss of sustainable resources as a comparative advantage and the associated opportunity of sustainable development. This can be attributed to the narrowness of the angle, by which we are accustomed to view these renewable resources, as well as the absence of the appropriate means to turn this waste to wealth. The first aspect is associated with the level of the R&D activities. The role of the researchers is, proceeding from the understanding and valorization of the traditional technical heritage of use of these resources, to issue a contemporary edition for the use of these resources, to rediscover them as a material base for the satisfaction of human needs: on the local, national and international levels. The second aspect is associated with industry. Industry here is understood in broad terms as these activities, conducted under defined conditions to transform the state, shape or properties of the agricultural resources to satisfy a certain criterion or requirement along a predetermined path of transformation to a final product. Proceeding from this definition industry includes a wide spectrum of activities including: sorting (to various sizes or quality levels), packaging, drying, freezing, pressing, squeezing, filtering, threshing, baling, etc.

It is located at the Damietta branch, a distributary of the Nile, (latitude 31°25′N, longitude 31°49′E). Damietta is located at the Damietta branch, a distributor of the Nile, 15 kilometer (9.3 mi) from the Mediterranean Sea, about 200 kilometers (120 mi) north of Cairo. [2] The intermediate cities are considered to be one of the cities that had a vital and powerful foundation in establishing a significant economic and social interaction. Damietta is classified as an intermediate city (according to UIA-CIMES program) that has costal environments with great economic value. This Paper aims to highlight the features of sustainable development to prospers coastal intermediate cities and provide plans and new approaches to be applied to its counterpart, then to predict the rates of urban development in order to control the direction of sustainable urbanization in intermediate cities. All of these issues were studied previously from the theoretical point of view that deals with the concepts related to the research problematic, and reviewed it through an analytical study of the city represented in Damietta city as a coastal intermediate city on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, to come with an analytical research ended with results & recommendations.
