Distribution of community services and their impact on traffic on the main streets of Tobruk

دراسة جغرافية

Abstract

The study dealt with the impact of the distribution of community services on the traffic in the main streets in the city of Tobruk from a geographical point of view, as these streets suffer from traffic jams due to the concentration of these services on them.

         The study sought to achieve a set of objectives, the most important of which are: the nature of the spatial distribution of community services and the extent of its impact on traffic in the main streets.

        The study relied on the descriptive approach and the analytical approach, as well as relying on geographic information systems techniques with Arc Gis 10.8, and the use of appropriate operations in statistical analyses.

         One of the most important results reached was the variation in the impact of community services on traffic in the main streets on which they are located. The study recommended paving the main streets parallel to the streets on which community services are located in order to reduce pressure on those streets that have been subjected to traffic jams, and to encourage investors to build multi-storey car parks next to the community service buildings
