Mineral resources and the possibility of their investment in the development of construction industries in Qadisiyah Governorate
Abstract
The manufacturing industry, including construction industries, is the primary agency responsible for investing in natural mineral resources and harnessing them for wide uses, especially in their basic products such as cement, bricks, and plaster. The importance of these industries is reflected in the quantity and types of products that they produce, as well as the ability to absorb many numbers of the industrial workforce, in addition to their dependence on raw materials and raw materials locally available for industrial investment, and that the geological and structural history of Qadisiyah province made them abundant with the availability of large quantities of mineral resources Which is distributed geographically between its different regions.
The research dealt with the spatial distribution of mineral resources in the study area, and the identification of the most important of these resources, in addition to showing the possibility of investing these resources in the development and construction of construction industries, and knowledge of the industries that can be relied upon as a primary material present and in the future.
The research found that there is a spatial variation in the distribution of mineral resources in the study area, and these resources have a large role in the establishment of construction industries and their spatial variation in the province, as Diwaniya is at the top of 54% of the construction industries, followed by Hamza district and then the Afak district with a percentage (19.9). %, 16%) respectively, then Shamiya spent 10.1%. And that the province enjoys the availability of large capabilities of mineral resources, which are raw materials for construction industries, but it has not yet invested such as limestone, gypsum and cement slurry, which can be invested in the development of construction industries and achieve spatial development in the province through the establishment of factories to manufacture cement, thermstone and Nora. The research proposes the necessity of conducting large geological surveys for the study area, to determine all existing mineral wealth and estimate the quantities of reserves for the purpose of investing them in order to develop construction industries in the province in order to provide the need of existing or proposed construction industries from the primary materials economically to develop them and increase the number of their facilities.
