Analysing the impact of building activities,

in agriculture lands using GIS techniques-
Gharyan, Libya.
3rd Generation Planning Project
Introduction:
Gharyan is the main city located in the

Gharyan Sub-region, which lies 700 m
above sea level.
It is at a distance of about 80 km
southwest of Tripoli and about 90 km
north of Mizdah.
Gharyan is in the centre of agriculturally
developed area in Jabal Nafusah Plain
where annual rain fall of 250mm which
is sufficient for crop cultivation.

Why this study?
Libyan agriculture encounters a number

of difficulties and one important aspect
is reduction in agricultural lands due to
urbanization.
For the chosen study area of Gharyan the

trend of urbanization in the fertile agricultural
lands are mapped for past decades.
The study gives a clear picture on how the

building activities are slowly eating up the
agricultural lands.
Furthermore, the output from IPM model is

used as an input to evaluate the possible
conversion of agricultural lands into building
developments by the year 2025.

The Gharyan Agglomeration:
Gharyan city tends to cluster with the

settlements Sidi Musa, Taghrinnah,
Kaamoun and Antat. These urban-
urban mixed areas form into an urban
agglomeration with a total population of
about 50,000 inhabitants.
This agglomeration may grow upto 100,000

inhabitants in 2025.

Data:
The data used for the study are,
1. Age of the buildings from building

inventory,
2. IPM model projections 2025 of population

spread in Gharyan from the sub regional
plans,
3. Agriculture land suitability data from agri-

cultural department.
There are around 1569 Hac. of moderately

fertile agricultural lands which is a sizable
amount of land to carry out sustainable
agriculture.
Analysis:
Selection is made on the building inventory

by using selection by attribute for various
decades. This point data on the age of
building is converted to raster data and
equated with agricultural land suitability
raster data using raster calculator (age
of building layer minus the agricultural
suitability).


Trend Analysis - 1975




What will be the state of Agricultural lands in 2025?

Predicting the future:
Same technique is carried out on Agricultural

suitability layer and IPM (converted to
raster )model’s output to map the building
developments in agricultural lands by
2025.

If the same trend of urbanization continues

in the agricultural areas without being
checked, by 2025 there will be very little or
no land available within the study area for
agriculture production.

To conserve the remaining agricultural area

the above study was vital along with studies
on slope, growth direction, urban sprawl,
vacant lands, etc., to identify new areas for
urban development.

Part -2

Development Concept: Agriculture city
1. Selection of Developable area driven

mainly by land suitability and current urban
development trends.
1970’s 2006 2025
2. Prime focus on Agriculture activities
in Gharyan, through improvement of
accessibility, good agricultural support
services, etc.
3. Urban development planned in areas

not suitable for agriculture so as to protect
the agricultural lands from conversions but
controlling sprawl.
4. Integrated development of small scale

settlements or clusters utilizing appropriate
transport linkages to the main settlement
as well as equitable distribution of
infrastructure.
Alternative - A •Development Concept.
The Gharyan Master plan Boundary is divided into six different Zones and Development norms
are specified for these six Zones which will guide and shape the future development.
ZONE -1 ISOLATION ZONE ZONE -4 URBAN ZONE
Isolation Zone consists of lands Urban Zone consists of a mixed

hydrology or vegetation. building types: single, courtyard
and rowhouses.
ZONE -2 AGRICULTURE ZONE ZONE -5 URBAN CORE ZONE
Agriculture Zone consists of Urban Core Zone consists of the

agricultural lands in open or highest density and height, with
cultivated states. These include the greatest variety of uses, and
woodland, agricultural land, civic buildings of importance.

“An environment that can’t be

changed invites its own destruction.
We prefer a world that can be modified
progressively against a background of
valued remains, a world in which we
can leave a personal mark alongside
the marks of history.”
“ What time is this place?”
- Kevin Lynch
Thats the end of the story...
