Geomorphological assessment determinants of urban expansion of urban centers in a Haditha city
Abstract
This research aims to study, the geomorphological evaluation of the determinants of urban expansion in the city of Haditha, which represent these determinants of the Euphrates River from the northeast, Haditha Lake from the northwest, and the edges of the western plateau from the west, as well as a number of valleys, including short and large, the most important of which is Wadi The two fields of Wadi Zaghdan, Wadi Banat Al-Hassan, Wadi, which penetrates the edges of the western plateau towards the Euphrates River, has shown through this research the extent of the influence of geomorphological determinants in a modern city, which resulted in the direction of many problems, the most prominent of which was the large urban sprawl towards agricultural lands located on the banks of the river. The Euphrates, the most important of these areas are Bani Daher, Al-Askari neighborhood and Sheikh Hadid. The study in Haditha city showed that the expansion of Haditha city cannot continue with this longitudinal expansion adjacent to the Euphrates River on the one hand and the edges of the western plateau on the other, which will force Haditha city to expand to the west, i.e. towards its edges. The western plateau is also towards the plain lands that were a modern lake flooded with water, represented by water storage lands, which requires the extension of a network of transport roads that work to bypass these geomorphic determinants. accessibility
