The establishment of the AFC U22 Championship is two-fold: to provide the platform for players who have finished their youth training to transition to the senior level; and to serve as the qualifying competition to determine Asia’s representatives in the Olympics. Congratulations to the winners Iraq, who won the competition due to their discipline, teamwork and strong tactical understanding. The historical win though was not without a determined challenge from fellow finalists Saudi Arabia. In the end, Iraq’s perfect record in the competition was telling, as they continued their rich vein of form of the past few years. All in all, the inaugural competition was very well contested and traditional powerhouses like Japan, Korea Republic and Iran were given strong challenges by other up-and-coming nations.

BADY3 1 Environmental Engineering Department, Egypt-Japan University of Science and Technology (E-JUST), P.O. Box 179, New Borg Al-Arab City, 21934 Alexandria, Egypt. 2 Transportation Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering, University of Alexandria, 11432 Alexandria, Egypt. 3 Energy Resources Engineering Department,, Egypt-Japan University of Science and Technology (E-JUST), P.O. 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.
