The spatial variation of urban growth and its role in the phenomenon of random housing in Al-Qadisiyah Governorate
Abstract
The problem of random housing is one of the complex problems as it has economic, social, urban and planning dimensions, but the economic dimension (the cost of construction and the price of land) remains one of the most common problems facing the population, which requires setting a general housing policy that accommodates the problems of housing reality and aims to reduce the housing deficit gap by establishing Residential complexes that are characterized by urban efficiency and are of low cost. The research aims to study and analyze the phenomenon of urban growth and the most important problems that this phenomenon produces, which is the problem of random housing, which is a backward pattern and a form of rapid, unorganized and unplanned urban growth. Which generates many environmental and social problems, so this problem must be addressed by making more efforts by the state and limiting the chaotic expansion in urban areas. The study included three topics, the first topic was concerned with studying the spatial variation of urban growth in the province of Qadisiyah, while the second topic focused on A study of the effect of urban growth on the emergence of the phenomenon of informal housing in Al-Qadisiyah governorate.
