The lagoon is composed of two main basins, Semi-automated approach; and several other internal small basins interconnected to one another. Although the general geo- Bardawil Lake; morphologic characteristics are treated in some regional studies, we used a semi-automated Sinai approach based on a wide variety of digital image processing for mapping the major geomorpho- logical landforms of the lake on a medium scale of 1:250,000. The approach is based primarily on data fusion of Landsat ETM+ image, and validated by other ancillary spatial data (e.g. topo- graphic maps, Google images and GPS in situ data). Interpretations of high resolution space images by Google Earth and the large-scale topographic maps (1:25,000), in specific, revealed new micro- forms and some detailed geomorphologic aspects with the aid of GPS measurements.

  • The Ancient Egyptian Economy
    The ancient Egyptian economy The economy of pharaonic Egypt has been called an ancient command economy, but one should always remember that such modern definitions are not as apt as one would hope for.[2] Still, there was a specialized bureaucracy which monitored or controlled much of its activity, one of the hallmarks of planned economies. On the other hand, in general the officials—as state employees and not as private landowners or managers of state farms—probably did not tell farmers what to grow and these continued to do what their predecessors had done. But they remeasured and reassigned the land after every inundation based on past assignments, assessed the expected crops, collected part of the produce as taxes, stored and redistributed it to those on the state's pay lists. Storage and redistribution were generally done on a local basis. Regional facilities provided produce in case there was a shortfall in one of the local centres. Bureaucrats were also in charge of public works which were mostly religious in character and involved at times tens of thousands of workers and administrators. Egypt was a patchwork of mostly autarkic households and domains. After the taxes were paid, The Saylor Foundation 1 domain administrators and successful householders stored surpluses for future use or exchanged them by barter on the market, an institution the nature of which is remarkably badly understood. The percentage of produce and even manufactured goods which reached markets was probably small. It may have been of marginal importance to the survival of the individual producer, but provided part of the economic base for the developing Egyptian high culture.

  • Assessment Impact of the Damietta Harbour (Egypt) and Its Deep Navigation Channel on Adjacent Shorelines
    Journal of Integrated Coastal Zone Management (2020) 20(4): 265-281 © 2020 APRH ISSN 1646-8872 DOI 10.5894/rgci-n338 url: https://www.aprh.pt/rgci/rgci-n338.html ASSESSMENT IMPACT OF THE DAMIETTA HARBOUR (EGYPT) AND ITS DEEP NAVIGATION CHANNEL ON ADJACENT SHORELINES Mohsen M. Ezzeldin1, Osami S. Rageh2, Mahmoud E. Saad3 @ ABSTRACT: Deep navigation channels have a great impact on adjacent beaches and crucial economic effects because of periodic dredging operations. The navigation channel of the Damietta harbour is considered a clear example of the sedimentation problem and deeply affects the Northeastern shoreline of the Nile Delta in Egypt. The aim of the present study is to monitor shoreline using remote sensing techniques to evaluate the effect of Damietta harbour and its navigation channel on the shoreline for the last 45 years. Also, the selected period was divided into two periods to illustrate the effect of man-made interventions on the shoreline. Shorelines were extracted from satellite images and then the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) was used to estimate accurate rates of shoreline changes and predict future shorelines evolution of 2030, 2040, 2050 and 2060. The Damietta harbour created an accretion area in the western side with an average rate of 2.13 m year-1. On the contrary, the shoreline in the eastern side of the harbour retreated by 92 m on average over the last 45 years. So, it is considered one of the main hazard areas along the Northeastern shoreline of the Nile Delta that needs a sustainable solution. Moreover, a detached breakwaters system is predicted to provide shore stabilization at the eastern side as the implemented one at Ras El-Bar beach.

These developments negatively affected the regional development and the environment. This study examines the structure of the coastal cities industry, the main types, the impacts (eco- nomic, environmental, and social) of coastal cities, and the local trends in development in the Egyptian coastal cities and its regions. It will also analyze coastal and marine tourism in several key regions identified because of the diversity of life they support, and the potential destruction they could face. This paper confirms that economic diversification in coastal cities is more effective than develop- ments in only one economic sector, even if this sector is prominent and important. ª 2012 Housing and Building National Research Center.

  • Towards Creating New Sustainable Cities in Egypt- Critical Perspective for Planning New Cities
    Towards Creating New Sustainable Cities in Egypt- Critical Perspective for Planning New Cities Speaker: Ellahham, Nisreen 1 Abstract: The objective of this paper is to form a future vision of Egyptian sustainable cities that integrates theories with international experiences. The paper highlights the pressing need to establish new areas for development in the Egyptian desert—through geo-economic restructuring of Egypt—that would contribute to reduction of population density in existing cities through attracting it from the narrow congested valley to new urban communities. This helps destabilize the existing urban density, which has become already experiencing severe environmental degradation. The paper identifies the most important theories of sustainable cities and sets their establishment standards and planning criteria. It analyzes the pros and cons of the Egyptian experience in building new cities in the desert and the major pertinent impediments. The ultimate objective is to sketch strategic orientation, based on results reached and lessons learned, for the purpose of establishing new sustainable urban communities in the Egyptian desert . Egypt - desert - sustainable – cities Concept of sustainable cities The concept of "sustainable cities" emerged concurrently with the adoption of sustainable development concept and the increasing concern about impacts of development on the physical, social and cultural environment. Related to the main philosophy of Sustainable development, the sustainable cities concept called for identifying a new type of cities that would achieve economic growth through an economic base that does not drain or pollute natural resources, adopt products recycling or restoring the invested energy. Also, sustainable cities achieve social equity for their residences in a manner that strengths the concepts of democracy, participatory decision making, and self reliance.
