Description
The Structure Plan identifies the main critical points and needs of a Region (such as infrastructures, natural resources, socio–economic aspects, public services, public facilities – water supply and sewerage, etc.) and it plans on how to exploit its potentials by securing a sound sustainability. The project aims at integrating different aspects (environmental, social and economic) by defining a strategy for the investments of the Governorate in short, medium and long term. The phases of research and information collection, developed through extensive field surveys and data gathering from national and local offices, is carried out through GIS tools for storing and managing the collected information. The Structure Plans focused on a holistic methodology, in order to analyze the current status and outline planning criteria for the selected sectors up to the following 25 years.
