IV Abstract Nowadays, heritage is perceived as an invaluable asset that can preserve peoples’ identity and generate wealth. The role of heritage conservation in promoting sustainable development has been widely acknowledged. Yet, it is a cross-disciplinary issue, which should be integrated into urban and regional planning and related policies. To facilitate the integration process, it is necessary to understand and consider all the values that are attributed to heritage sites along with an active involvement of all relevant stakeholders as a first step in the conservation process. These are the basic principles of what is known as “values-based approach” to heritage conservation and management. This approach is fundamentally supported in theoretical discussions as a recent robust mode of integrated approaches, while its effectiveness in practice is constantly debated, a problem this study is dealing with. Historically, Iraq was pioneer in setting laws and regulations and adopting international guidelines and conventions regarding heritage including specific standards for sites that possess a unique value. Nonetheless, the rich urban heritage that represents different ethnics and religions in Iraqi Kurdistan Region has long been suffering from deterioration due to various processes. This thesis describes the current condition of heritage sites and the extent to which it has been treated in an integrated manner. In addition, it identifies the relationship among the involved stakeholders and analyses the perceptions of local residents toward the interventions and performance of the government in relation to conservation of heritage. At the end, the study explores the applicability of values-based approach in the context of Kurdistan Region. The methodological approach adopted in this thesis follows a case study design. Based on a series of criteria, the study has selected the cities Akre and Amedy in Kurdistan Region. The study uses both quantitative and qualitative research techniques, including: document and archive analysis, observation, semi-structured interviews, and questionnaires. It also uses workshops to investigate the applicability of values-based approach in real contextual condition. Based on these two cities, i.e. Akre and Amedy, the research finds out that heritage in Kurdistan Region is threatened due to the rapid changes of heritage sites, which are caused by on-going private and governmental projects in the absence of clear conservation plans and adequate legal instruments. Moreover, land use planning and tourism related activities are taking place without integration of conservation plans especially those related to cultural heritage sites, and adequate coordination, cooperation and communication among relevant stakeholders. At the same time, local residents perceive heritage conservation as an important task and demand active involvement in the conservation process. The research findings confirm that one of the main factors in applying values-based approach is stakeholders’ willingness to participate in the process. Moreover, the practice of selecting sites and identifying their values represents an appropriate procedure to enhance stakeholders understanding of the conservation needs and their different perspectives. It also encourages stakeholders to think more holistically of the site’s potentials, facilitates evolvement of many ideas for the site management, and builds trust especially between residents and government staff. Further, the process opens an opportunity for diverse groups to reinforce their identity. In conclusion, values-based approach is convenient for the current context of Kurdistan as this region is in the process of making political changes and identity-building phase. However, the extent of success is situational depending on the characteristics of stakeholders, institutional arrangements and other changes which might develop in the future. Keywords: urban heritage, sustainable development, values-based approach, Iraqi Kurdistan Region, stakeholders, identity building. V Kurzfassung In heutiger Zeit wird das ‚Urbane Erbe‘ als ein immenser Wert eingeschätzt, der nicht nur die Identität eines Volkes bewahren hilft, sondern auch zum nationalen Wohlstand beitragen kann. Ebenso ist der Beitrag zur nachhaltigen Entwicklung, der mit der Erhaltung dieses Erbes einhergeht, weitgehend anerkannt. Außerdem ist unbestritten, dass es sich bei der Erhaltung des Urbanen Erbes um ein Disziplin übergreifendes Thema handelt, das unbedingt in die Stadt- und Regionalplanung sowie in entsprechende Politikfelder integriert werden muss. Um diesen Integrationsprozess zu erleichtern ist es vor allem notwendig, die Werte der Standorte des Urbanen Erbes zu verstehen und als solche zu berücksichtigen und gleichzeitig und vom ersten Schritt des Erhaltungsprozesses an alle Schlüsselpersonen aktiv einzubeziehen. Dies sind die grundlegenden Prinzipien der sogenannten wertebasierenden Herangehensweise bei Erhaltung und Management des Urbanen Erbes. Dieses Vorgehen wird auch in der grundlegenden theoretischen Auseinandersetzung gestützt und nach jüngstem Verständnis als eine gute Methode eines integrierten Ansatzes angesehen, während der praktische Erfolg noch zur Diskussion steht, ein Problem, das durch diese Untersuchung erstmals aufgegriffen wird. Historisch gesehen hat der Irak Pionierleistungen bei der Formulierung von Gesetzen und Regelungen, sowie bei der Übernahme von internationalen Leitlinien und Konventionen zum Urbanen Erbe erbracht, was darüber hinaus die Formulierung besonderer Standards für Standorte von einzigartigem Wert einschloss. Nichtsdestoweniger hat das reiche Urbane Erbe in der Irakischen Region Kurdistan, das verschiedene Ethnien und Religionen widerspiegelt, wegen verschiedener Umstände stark unter Verfall und Werteverlust gelitten. Die vorliegende Doktorarbeit beschreibt die gegenwärtigen Umstände und Bedingungen der Stätten des Urbanen Erbes und untersucht, bis zu welchem Grad diese in einer integrierten Art und Weise behandelt worden sind. Außerdem wird die Beziehung zwischen den beteiligten Akteuren herausgearbeitet sowie aufgezeigt, wie die örtlichen Bewohner Eingriffe und Darstellungen der Regierung bezüglich der Erhaltung des Urbanen Erbes wahrnehmen. Abschließend wird in der Untersuchung die Anwendbarkeit des werteorientierten Ansatzes unter realen Bedingungen der Irakischen Region Kurdistan überprüft. Die methodische Herangehensweise dieser Arbeit folgt dem Ansatz der Fallstudie. Nach verschiedensten Kriterien wurden

Serum samples were tested using the Rose Bengal test (RBT) and an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (iELISA). Using parallel interpretation, RBT and iELISA results showed that 31.7% (95% confidence interval (CI): 26.1, 36.3) of sheep and 34.0% (95% CI: 24.7, 44.3) of goats had antibodies against Brucella in the study area. A random-effects multivariable logistic regression model indicated that a higher chance of being seropositive (odds ratio (OR) = 1.7; 95% 1.4; 2.2) was associated with an increase in the age of animals.

    Iraq CRISIS Situation Report No. 49 (17 June – 23 June 2015) This report is produced by OCHA Iraq in collaboration with humanitarian partners. It covers the period from 17 – 23 June. Due to the rapidly changing situation it is possible that the numbers and locations listed in this report may no longer be accurate. The next report will be issued on or around 3 July. Highlights More than 1,500 families return to Tikrit. Returnees need humanitarian assistance Close to 300,000 individuals displaced from Ramadi since 8 April NGOs respond to Sulaymaniyah checkpoint closures Concern over humanitarian conditions in Ameriyat al-Fallujah and Habbaniya Insufficient funding continues to limit humanitarian response capacity The boundaries and names shown and the designations used on this map do not imply official endorsement or acceptance by the United Nations. Map created 25 June 2015. Situation Overview More than 1,500 families (approximately 9,000 individuals) returned to Tikrit City and surrounding areas between 14 and 23 June, after the area was retaken by Iraqi Security Forces in April, according to the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) of the International Organization for Migration (IOM). Most of those who returned were Government civil servants who were requested to return. Approximately 80 per cent of Government employees have gone back to the area, local authorities report. Returnees reportedly were required to submit to ID checks, body and vehicle searches before being allowed through manned checkpoints. Authorities have reportedly dismantled 1,700 improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and cleared more than 200 booby-trapped houses. The recent returns brings the estimated total number of returnees in Tikrit District to 16,384 families (over 98,000 individuals), according to a partner NGO.

  • Iom Emergency Needs Assessments Post February 2006 Displacement in Iraq 15 May 2008 Bi-Weekly Report
    IOM EMERGENCY NEEDS ASSESSMENTS POST FEBRUARY 2006 DISPLACEMENT IN IRAQ 15 MAY 2008 BI-WEEKLY REPORT Following the February 2006 bombing of the Samarra Al-Askari Mosque, escalating sectarian violence in Iraq caused massive displacement, both internal and to locations abroad. In coordination with the Iraqi government’s Ministry of Displacement and Migration (MoDM), IOM continues to assess Iraqi displacement through a network of partners on the ground. Most displacement over the past five years (since 2003) occurred in 2006 and has since slowed. However, displacement continues to occur in some locations and the humanitarian situation of those already displaced is worsening. Some Iraqis are returning, but their conditions in places of return are extremely difficult. The estimated number of displaced since February 2006 is almost 1,504,000 individuals 1. This figure, combined with the estimated 1,200,000 individuals 2 who were internally displaced before February 2006, results in a total of more than 2.7 million individuals displaced within Iraq to date. SUMMARY OF CURRENT IRAQI DISPLACEMENT AND RETURN: Displacements The security situation has improved somewhat in Sadr City, due a truce between Shia militiamen loyal to radical leader Moqtada al-Sadr and government forces on 11 May. Most displacement from Sadr City occurred at the beginning of the military campaign (primarily from Sectors 1-9), with some new displacement occurring in Sectors 11 and 12. Only a few families are reported as returning. Local authorities in Muthanna issued a new order to remove all illegal collective settlements within two weeks, regardless of whether the squatting families are IDPs or host community.

  • Iom Emergency Needs Assessments Post February 2006 Displacement in Iraq 15 April 2008 Bi-Weekly Report
    IOM EMERGENCY NEEDS ASSESSMENTS POST FEBRUARY 2006 DISPLACEMENT IN IRAQ 15 APRIL 2008 BI-WEEKLY REPORT Following the February 2006 bombing of the Samarra Al-Askari Mosque, escalating sectarian violence in Iraq caused massive displacement, both internal and to locations abroad. In coordination with the Iraqi government’s Ministry of Displacement and Migration (MoDM), IOM continues to assess Iraqi displacement through a network of partners on the ground. Significantly fewer Iraqis were displaced in 2007 than were displaced in 2006, suggesting that internal displacement in Iraq has slowed. However, displacement continues to occur in some locations and the humanitarian situation of those already displaced is worsening. The limited returns that have occurred so far represent only a small fraction of the displaced population. Internal displacement in Iraq continues to be a major humanitarian crisis, demanding both assessment and a targeted humanitarian response. The estimated number of displaced since February 2006 is almost 1,504,000 individuals 1. This figure, combined with the estimated 1,200,000 individuals 2 who were internally displaced before February 2006, results in a total of more than 2.7 million individuals displaced within Iraq to date. BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY ON IRAQI DISPLACEMENT: Displacement Displacement continues to occur due to military operations and generalized violence. The recent insecurity and fighting in Baghdad and the south, especially Basrah, caused low-scale displacement, although the figures continue to be difficult to confirm due to ongoing insecurity and restrictions on movement. Over the past few weeks, more than 100 families were displaced in Babylon and 230 families fled to Wassit from Al-Mada’in district in Baghdad.

  • Assyrians and the Turkey-PKK Conflict in Iraq Every Assyrian in Barwar Knows the Difference Between the Sound of Fighter Jets and the Sound of Civilian Planes.”
    Caught in the Crossfire: Assyrians and the Turkey-PKK Conflict in Iraq Every Assyrian in Barwar knows the difference between the sound of fighter jets and the sound of civilian planes.” Assyrian eyewitness interviewed by the Assyrian Policy Institute ABOUT ASSYRIANS An estimated 3.5 million people globally comprise a distinct, indigenous ethnic group. Tracing their heritage to ancient Assyria, Assyrians speak an ancient language referred to as Assyrian, Syriac, Aramaic, or Neo-Aramaic. The contiguous territory that forms the traditional Assyrian homeland includes parts of southern and south- eastern Turkey, northwestern Iran, northern Iraq, and northeastern Syria. The Assyrian population in Iraq, estimated at approximately 200,000, constitutes the largest remaining concentration of the ethnic group in the Middle East. The majority of these reside in their ancestral homeland located in the Nineveh Plain and within today’s Kurdistan Region of Iraq. Assyrians are predominantly Christian. Some ethnic Assyrians self-identify as Chaldeans or Syriacs, depending on church denomination. Assyrians have founded five Eastern Churches at different points during their long history: the Ancient Church of the East, the Assyrian Church of the East, the Chaldean Catholic Church, the Syriac Catholic Church, and the Syriac Orthodox Church. The majority of Assyrians who remain in Iraq today belong to the Chaldean and Syriac churches. Assyrians represent one of the most consistently persecuted communities in Iraq and the wider Middle East. ABOUT THE ASSYRIAN POLICY INSTITUTE Founded in May 2018, the Assyrian Policy Institute works to support Assyrians as they struggle to maintain their rights to the lands they have inhabited for thousands of years, their ancient language, equal opportunities in education and employment, and to full participation in public life.

  • Multi-Sector Needs Assessment of Hosting Communities Across the Kurdistan Region of Iraq
    MULTI-SECTOR NEEDS ASSESSMENT OF HOSTING COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE KURDISTAN REGION OF IRAQ KURDISTAN REGION OF IRAQ ASSESSMENT REPORT MARCH 2015 Multi-Sector Needs Assessment of Hosting Communities Across the Kurdistan Region of Iraq EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Before any attempt at analysis is made, it is important to briefly take note of context. Territories under the control of the Kurdistan Regional Government have absorbed multiple bouts of large scale, protracted external and internal displacement. The latest, and most severe round, was internal and although caused by the spillover of conflict from neighbouring Syria, displaced an estimated 1.6 million individuals. An estimated 1.2 million of these individuals now reside in the KRI, scattered across areas already hosting significant numbers of Syrian refugees. Since then, no comprehensive attempt has been made to assess or even establish a baseline to document and gauge the effects of these crises on the hosting communities of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI). This report presents findings and analysis across the sectors of demographics, livelihoods, food security, education, health as well as social cohesion for hosting communities across 22 districts of the KRI. Key findings from the assessment include, but are by no means limited to, the following: Demographics: Minors under the age of 18 constitute 65% of all individuals, whilst minors under the age of 12 account for a third (30%) of the host community population, thus indicating a high rate of dependency and highlighting a very young population. The proportion of dependents relative to the economically active is highest in Dahuk, in particular the KRG-administered districts of Ninewa.

  • IOM Displacement Assessment and Statistics 1 April 2009
    IOM EMERGENCY NEEDS ASSESSMENTS POST FEBRUARY 2006 DISPLACEMENT IN IRAQ 1 APRIL 2009 MONTHLY REPORT Following the February 2006 bombing of the Samarra Al-Askari Mosque, escalating sectarian violence in Iraq caused massive displacement, both internal and to locations abroad. In coordination with the Iraqi government’s Ministry of Displacement and Migration (MoDM), IOM continues to assess Iraqi displacement through a network of partners and monitors on the ground. Most displacement over the past five years (since 2003) occurred in 2006 and has since slowed. However, displacement continues to occur in some locations and the humanitarian situation of those already displaced is worsening. Some Iraqis are returning, but their conditions in places of return are extremely difficult. The estimated number of displaced since February 2006 is more than 1.6 million individuals1. SUMMARY OF CURRENT IRAQI DISPLACEMENT AND RETURN: Daily life for both IDP and returnee families in Iraq remains extremely difficult due to the lack of food, shelter, and basic services. Security is improving in many parts of Iraq, but is still uncertain. Drought is also a major concern, growing as the warm weather continues. Return As of the end of March, IOM displacement monitors had identified 49,603 returnee families in Iraq. While IDP families continue to return to their places of origin in many places throughout the country, upon arrival they face destroyed homes, lack of basic services, and few employment opportunities with which to support their families. While the Government of Iraq (GoI) and other national and international organizations are working to assist returnee families and ensure sustainability of returns, returnees are still in need of shelter and income generation assistance along with reconstruction of basic infrastructure and services.

SUMMARY OF CURRENT IRAQI DISPLACEMENT AND RETURN: Displacements Security is gradually improving in areas that have experienced military operations in the past couple of months. Operation ‘Lions Roar’ in Mosul continues, although not with the intensity or damage that was originally anticipated. The operation includes arresting campaigns and isolating sections of the city to search for weapons and insurgents. The MoDM branch in Ninewa reports no displacement although movement is limited, making assessments (and displacement) difficult. Sadr City is experiencing relative stability and Iraqi Forces (IF) report that the majority of the city is under their control, although intermittent clashes continue, the area experiences partial closures, and IF continue to conduct search campaigns in buildings for weapons and insurgents.
