Abstract
- In spite of, the importance of sustainability, and its concept and protection begun in the 1970s. Yet, with framework for action 2005-2025, it integrated risk prevention strategies into sustainable development activities. Whilst, Al-Hillah is the city center of important location near the holy governorate is surrounded by archaeological sites back to more than 4 000 years ago. These features make it perfect city as the case study. Parctically, this article compares multiple planning to obtain an effective scenario that manages events of operations before, during, and after the disaster. By creating a proactive scenario can based on indicators inspired from population density, easy access of traffic movement, and the shortest time at road intersections, barriers, and land uses. The article process represented by spatial analysis a12 planned based on the parameters, to choose the preferred evocation scenarios. Firstly, combined between rout and service network analysis to evaluate roads of the city by the shortest time, number of barriers, intersection, construction of shrouding zone and density of population. That result scenario (B) is selected, which protection for (19.08%) of the city's population within a radius of two zones (0-4000), (4000-7000) m, followed by scenario (D) within a radius (0-4000) m zone, which serves 12.9% of the city's population, then scenario (C) within a radius (4000-7000) m zone, can protect the city center of the city. Finally, scenario (A) within a radius (0-4000) m zone, can protect 4.9% city's population towards the university. In conclusion, an integrated scenario that includes the entire city to obtain goal of the article can be achieved by protecting the civilian people to protect and directed chaos directed away from holy sites and farther from the heritage sites to achieve urban sustainability.
