Transport AssessmentTripoli Green Belt Systematica

The Tripoli Green Belt Area Mobility Master plan has been developed over a period of 12 months, by Libyan and Italian experts team.

It is designed as a strategic planning tool. Therefore it observes the context, quantifies and measures phenomena, defines targets, identifies guidelines, establishes measures, proposes solutions, and verifies results.

The effectiveness of the guidelines defined in the Master plan have been tested using the traffic model.

Public Transport NetworkThe overall potential usercoverage of all the publictransport lines inside theGreen Belt area is around130,000 units (almost 50% ofpopulation inside the GreenBelt area is within 250 metersfrom a public transport stop).This simulation underlinesthat the efficiency of thispublic transport network, notonly in terms of territorialcoverage but also for thepotential number of users.

Public Transport Scheme The map on the right

simplifies the public transport network within the Green Belt area. The interchanges between the lines and all the stops are highlighted in a schematic way for an easier comprehension.

Road network and plannedjunctions revision

Correct junction design isthe key to reduce trafficcongestion and to increasethe overall capacity of thenetwork.

Parking StrategyThe aim of this study is toestimate future parkingdemand within the GreenBelt area and to evaluate therequired parking provisionto be guaranteed at 2020,based on the assumptionthat 50% of the predictedtrips will be made by publictransport and 50% byprivate cars.

Walking StrategyThe main general aim of

the strategy is the creationof an urban environment tobe properly adapted anddesigned (or redesigned)also in favor of the so called“vulnerable road users”, inorder to rebalance thepresent situation, negativelycharacterized by thephysical and visualdominance of motorizedtraffic.

Cycling Strategydue to its topography and favorable climate, the City reveals great and interesting potentials: either for a considerable development of appropriate continuous cycling infrastructures or for a massive increase in cycling use.

Taxi StrategyA city as big as Tripoli needs toconceive the transport system asa multiple mode network wherealso taxies can play an importantrole. For this reason a new taximanagement is of fundamentalimportance for the success of themobility master plan.

Traffic OfficeDue to the high impact of the new traffic strategies proposed by this master plan it is of utter importance to create a Traffic Office, completely dedicated to the implementation of the new strategies and traffic regulations. The Traffic Office must have adequate

The overall conclusion that led the proposed road strategies in this study are: 1-Completion and upgrading of the 1st Ring Road. 2-Downgrading of the coastal and historical centre road systems .3-Rehabilitation of urban spaces.

It has to be kept in mind that the road strategies will have to be implemented along with the other strategies proposed in this Master plan for the best case scenario.

The National ParksSafari Park

Designer: Sep Park DesignLOCALISATION:

Libya it is spread over 1.775.500 sq km, only a small part of its territory has been spared from the desert. 9/10th of the country lay on the desert parts of the Sahara: large desert shelves with sandy ergs or rocky hamadas, flat country shelving to the Mediterranean Sea.

Tripoli Safari Park’s site is located 20km south of Tripoli . It is spread over 540 ha,

between latitudes 32,70 and 32, 727 N and longitudes 13,16 E and 13,194 .

Ecological Assessments

This study was undertaken during the optimal period in terms of flowering. Inventories were

undertaken by visiting the site by foot to gain an overview of all variety of vegetation

involved and then to understand their organization within the landscape. For each variety

at least one record was made to characterize the typical plant species. Most of them were

localized using a GPS. Furthermore each type of vegetation identified as well as its

associated species has been photographed.

Enhance & Preserve the Existing Natural Heritage

Maintain & Increase The Ecological Diversity:Actions presented below assume three main intentions1. Restoration of degraded areas,2. Diversify eucalypts woodlands in terms of stratification and species,3. Maintain good hosting conditions for the existing fauna.

Inform, Educate & Increase The Public Awareness

The measures presented below are divided into three operational objectives:1. Welcome the public and enable the discovery of the site with suitable accommodations.2. Inform and increase the public awareness of Libya natural heritage richness.3. Make a team to manage the site and the public welcoming.

Re-evaluation Study for landfill in Libya

The Engineering Consulting Office for Utilities ECOU carry a study for

environmental assessment of four landfill sites used for solid waste in Libya,

two in Tripoli, one in Sirte, and one in Benghazi.

Tripoli case study

Ain Zara dump: is Located within the city of Tripoli withestimated area of about 19.4 hectares blocks of

waste with height of 45 m from ground level.Next to the landfill site, a residential developmentarea, with agricultural nature communities. Thelandfill was closed in the eighties and thenreopened briefly in 2000, where it received aquantity of waste estimated around 800 tonsbefore it is closed again completely based on adecision of the high court obtained by the localpopulation.

Sawani dump:Is Located 7 km to the south and southwest of thecity. It is surrounded by farms and residentialbuildings, where there are agricultural lands closeto the landfill, which is irrigated by groundwaterwells. There is also a power plant in the southside of the landfill as well as waste recyclingplant in the south-eastern side of the landfill.Based on the future developments plans for theregion, the area has been dedicated to be anindustrial development zone.

The landfill was closed in the late eighties or earlynineties. The landfill rise blocks of waste of (20 -25) meters. And the amount of waste present inthe landfill is about 2.5 million cubic meters, andsome of the edges of the waste are steep, wherethere are signs of gases and smoke rising fromthe edges, and this was confirmed by residentsnext to the landfill during the study.

Objectives of the study

The main objectives of the assessment study is to obtain information regarding

configuration geological area of the landfill, and the status of the contamination,

and gases, and groundwater quality (if any) and the direction of flow, in addition

to the properties of waste at the site and determine the changes in the landfill

site since initial field survey in the water in 2008, and until you determine the

types, sizes and concentrations of pollutants list and their causes.

Results and recommendations

Based on the work of the study and risk assessment conducted in landfills, it has

been found necessary to develop a strategy for how to manage the waste and

waste and methods of treatment and disposal at the site.

The options available for the rehabilitation of landfills confined to only three

options are:

1. The total elimination of waste.

2. Site rehabilitation.

3. Leave the status quo as it is.

Conclusions

The study to reach the following conclusions:

1- there may be a risk to public health may result from the current landfill and

status.

2-The higher concentrations of certain substances in the groundwater extracted from

irrigation wells surrounding the area(magnesium chloride and sodium) may be

caused by evaporation rates and salinity below the surface.

3-there is a risk of slight to moderate to public health as a result to the drilling

operations.

4-There is a slight risk of gas to neighboring buildings, and on-site workers to take

appropriate measures to address greenhouse gas during the work period.
