In this paper,the common points of the meteorological environment of construction projects in the three major chemical industry parks were obtained,and the planning,design and operation of chemical projects were advanced reasonably according to different meteorological environment,thereby maximizing social and economic benefits.展开更多

Through exploring development background and history of the park, it is proposed that the park has no sufficient service facilities but potential dangers, some of its vegetation is destroyed and water quality is greatly reduced, then comprehensive solutions are given as:to improve service facilities by organizing pedestrian and traffic flow in the park and setting the city ring buses; to reduce potential safety hazards by enhancing crime control and daily safety control within the park; to improve the overall eco-environment of the park by renovating its water and embankment, maintaining and adjusting vegetations. Prospects of regional tourism development and conceptions for the further development of this park are proposed, and the authors suggest that more scenic spots should be created and tourist routes reasonably organized.展开更多

This investigation is based on both desktop studies and field missions. The desktop part is relied on reviewing various studies and reports that highlighting natural resources in the area. Two field missions were conducted aiming to document various information from related authorities and institutions operating in Petra and also to undertake ground truthing of habitats and species information. The missions also included interviews with Park staff, representatives from ongoing projects and initiatives in Petra (Seyaha-USAID) and many locals belonging to various tribes in Wadi Musa and The Bdul. The study presents a synthesis to findings from these studies and visits. Broadly, the park can be zoned into three mega zones: 1) Wadi Arabah and the steep gorges to the west including the Artemisia and annual grasses steppe to the west, 2) Mountainous ridges and rocky slopes of the Mediterranean region located almost centrally in the park and at the southern limit and part of the eastern borders and 3) Central basin and steep limestone scarps and weathered sandstone. Based on lists of key and indicator species, some key/sensitive sites of conservation value have been suggested. Aspects of grazing, agricultural activities, tourism and water resources and their implications on management schemes have been discussed.展开更多
