Gas flaring continues as an environmental issue across oil-producing regions since it generates air pollution and climate change conditions. The purpose of the research is to examine, and compare the spatial distribution of deterioration of air quality, the environmental and health risks within the poor air quality area close to the gas flaring location and assess the density of gases and pollutants produced using the Gaussian-Plume model (GPM). Geographic Information Systems GIS technology has been combined with GPM in dispersion modeling. The gases produced by gas flaring to be emitted include sulfur dioxide (SO2), Nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and particulate matter (PM). Such pollutants worsen the quality of air and, therefore, are harmful to the health of the surrounding communities. Findings demonstrate that pollution intensities increase the most in locations proximate to flaring sites since atmospheric factors govern the way pollutants disperse. The GPM indicates that pollution concentrations decrease as distance increases from the sources. While some areas near the flare still contain unsafe levels, even in inhabited sections. Strict regulations with improved monitoring, together with cleaner technologies, must be adopted. This is for reducing the environmental and health effects of gas flaring in Kirkuk. This paper adds to the environmental sustainability investigation by proving the power of GIS based spatial analysis and dispersion modeling for monitoring air pollution variations at different locations. The research produces a combination of strategies that use GIS-based approaches in decision-making as well as dispersion modeling to inform better policymaking on environmental matters related to gas flaring.

Gas flaring poses a significant environmental challenge, impacting air quality and exacerbating global warming. This research evaluates the impact of gas flaring on the air quality and environmental sustainability of Kirkuk City, utilizing Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques, the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) with classification methods, and Gaussian Plume Dispersion Modeling (GPDM). Experts apply Pasquill-Gifford stability classes and dispersion parameters to model SO2, NO2, and PM pollutants. The GIS-based AHP method identifies priority contamination areas by evaluating various environmental and health factors. The classification systems enhance spatial analysis by pinpointing hazardous locations based on pollutant levels and their proximity to gas vent sites. Research findings indicate that pollution levels are highest near flaring sites, primarily due to atmospheric conditions that influence the dispersion of pollutants. The Gaussian Plume Model (GPM) shows that pollution levels decrease with distance from the source; however, densely populated areas can still experience unsafe levels. AHP results indicate that urban areas have the greatest impact, with a weight of 0.545, while vegetation has a significant effect on the environment, with a weight of 0.364. Barren land contributes the least to environmental risk, with a multiplier of only 0.091. This study develops a comprehensive framework that combines GIS decision-making techniques with dispersion models to assist policymakers in addressing environmental issues caused by gas flaring. It demonstrates that maintaining environmental regulations and proper planning are crucial for reducing air pollution threats in Kirkuk City and beyond.

The present study models the dispersion of air pollutants from Kirkuk Oil Refinery to Kirkuk City. The study considers the impact of pollution type, wind speed, and wind direction on the dispersion patterns. The simulated pollutants concentrations were in μg/m3 to provide valuable knowledge of the pollution levels. The Gaussian plume model was used to simulate various pollutants’ air pollution concentrations produced by the refinery. The results showed a wide concentration range, i.e., from 1.19×10-28 μg/m3 to 11.26 μg/m3. The mean concentration was 0.46 μg/m3. Different wind directions caused a minimum concentration of 0 μg/m3, i.e., negligible or low pollution levels away from the emission source. The mean concentration slightly varied with the wind direction, i.e., from 8.37×10-3 to 8.56 ×10-3 μg/m3. In other words, the mean pollution levels remained adequately low regardless of the wind direction. On the other hand, the wind direction impacted the maximum concentration. At 235°, the highest maximum concentration was 23.807 μg/m3, and at 174°, the lowest maximum concentration was 9.28569 μg/m3. Also, the results regarding the pollutant revealed that Co2 showed the highest mean concentration, i.e., 5.321 μg/m3, and the highest maximum concentration, i.e., 6734.623 μg/m3. Gases, e.g., Co, No2, and So2, showed higher concentrations than PM1, PM2.5, PM5, and PM10, implying that atmospheric behavior and emission sources differ. These results expand understanding of the air pollution dispersion patterns and provide a clear vision for policymakers and environmental managers. Future works should focus on refining modeling approaches and utilizing real-time data to obtain accurate pollutant dispersion pattern predictions.

The growth and expansion of urban areas around the world suggest that the future of the earth is predominantly urban, especially in less developed countries. This highlights the dynamic nature of these regions [1]. In the last 200 years, cities have become the most important places where people live all around the world. By 2050, 68% of the world's population will live in cities, which is called urbanization. However, this will mean that another 2.5 billion people will live in cities by 2050, and most of this growth will happen in Asia and Africa [2]. Urbanization refers to the transformation of rural land into urban areas, which is caused by various factors such as migration, economic growth, population increase, natural growth, improved social infrastructure, and availability of facilities and services [3-6]. Urban growth leads to urbanization, industrialization, and land development, but these developments have adverse impacts on the environment, traffic, and population [7]. The complex factors affecting urban land have consequences for its development and economic activity, both in the past, present, and future. Urbanization and its expansion have altered land use and coverage concerning climate change [8-10], the loss of forests and agricultural lands destroying plant and animal biodiversity [11], noise, air and water pollution, thereby affecting the quality of life [12], changing the hydrological ecosystem [13-17]. However, changes in land use and cover have detrimental effects on natural resources and the socio-economic system both directly and indirectly [18, 19]. In developing countries like Iraq, urbanization is a significant issue, with most communit

Translucent concrete (TC) is a green and sustainable material allows the light to transmit through itself by means of plastic optical fibers (POFs) or resin material embedded in concrete components. This study highlights the compressibility characteristics of resin translucent cement mortar (RTCM) and the possibility of using this material in the construction of external walls to rationalize energy expenditure within the building spaces to create a green sustainable environment inside the building. Compressive strength characteristics of RTCM, compared to that of translucent concrete containing POFs, is investigated in this paper. Furthermore, it is required to identify a theoretical approach for using RTCM in external walls of the building and its relationship to energy conservation, and then determining the effects of its use through a practical study on a test sample with using Passive House Planning Package (PHPP) program in the field of energy to measure the amount of energy expenditure. It’s found that adding a small amount of epoxy resin (ER) to the plain mix will raise the compressive strength, any extra amount of the ER will reduce the compressive strength. Finally, the study proved the possibility of using RTCM, with high efficiency, instead of bricks in the external walls of the building because of its ability to rationalize the energy spent in the building compared to the bricks.

الوصف Today, energy has undoubtedly become a feature of the era in which we live, and the amount of energy consumed by an individual has become a measure of the progress of nations. It is an established fact that buildings consume high energy in all its life stages and with its various components, and most of the energy wasted in the building is due to its misuse or as a result of the wrong design of the building, which makes it draining energy significantly. The research problem is that the traditional techniques and materials used in buildings, have a specific impact on energy savings in buildings within certain limits. The research aims to use nanomaterials to provide thermal comfort in the building while rationalizing energy consumption without neglecting the architectural formation and aesthetic appearance. Therefore, an inductive and deductive approach was used to achieve the goal of the research. The research reached a group of nanomaterials whose roles varied between thermal insulation, the amount of energy consumed for lighting, or the extent of the impact of nanomaterials on global warming, and thus their role in the process of energy conservation in the building.

Since the last few years, the concept of" smart cities" has become a widespread topic in a variety of fields. The practice of sustainable development is to thank for this rise in popularity. The philosophy, physics, and aesthetics of ecologically friendly building design and construction are collectively referred to as" green architecture" or" green building." The goal of green design is to reduce the amount of resources used in the construction, usage, and operation of a building, as well as the pollution, waste, and emissions that result from these activities. Design and construction of buildings generatorbaes waste that is harmful to human health and the environment. In order to minimize these resource-efficient structures and negative effects and build environmentally sound, it is necessary to introduce, define, understand, and practice green architecture. There is a word for environmentally friendly architecture. There are many benefits to adopting the principles of" Green Architecture" and" Green Building" in order to better utilize the natural environment and renewable energy sources, and then to creating standards for energy efficiency in buildings. In this study better understanding about the relationship between green architecture and smart city concepts and their impact on each other have been studied, where this study focuses on the role that green architecture plays when planning and executing smart cities.

The development of computers and its tools have led to the development of more specialized and in-depth research and studies in the Noble Qur’an and its sciences, especially those that research the scientific aspect of its miracles. The development, diversity and expansion of modern sciences, especially mathematics and engineering cause the sciences of the Holy Qur’an to expand in line with these sciences. Each verse of the enlightening Qur’an spreads two sets of lights, the light of its guidance and the light of its miracles. Every group of people according to their degrees takes their fortune from any sign or scene from the scenes of the Qur’an. In this study, we noticed that the Noble Qur’an mentioned accounting and geometry and its divisions, including numbers, digits and matrices, the importance of numbers and digits and its dealings with modern mathematics. We find that modern mathematics is currently based on the digit in its complete and special form, and not on numbers. Thus, we find in our studies rational numbers which are fractions. There are also irrational numbers which are very complex in form in addition to Catrinian numbers etc. Because of the importance of the matrix, we believe that the Qur’an refers to it through a group of Qur’anic references, the most important of which was the mention of the word “masfuf” which can be translated into matrix in two generous verses. It is particularly mentioned in the two great surahs with names bearing the meaning of the row (As-Saaffat and As-Saff). It is considered a major basis in many branches of science and research, especially mathematics and modern sciences, such as computer and its applications. It depends on it in its design principle and in its work in programming and programs. The matrix is considered the basic structure for the data in the most important scientific engineering programming for research and development until now which is Matlab program. It appears through the study that the contents of the Noble Qur’an of words, letters and numbers can be described in the form of various matrices, and since the verses of the Noble Qur’an are written and lined up in rows, the line matrix is the appropriate form to deal with the contents of the Holy Qur’an, whether literal or numerical. Thus, it is possible to perform several mathematical and logical operations on them. The Qur’anic reference to matrices is a precursor to the Qur’an and a scientific miracle that is added to the miraculous balance of this glorious book. The line matrix or the line ray can be considered the basic mathematical structure of the Qur’anic data, especially the numerical data

In recent decades, the world has witnessed rapid changes as a result of the revolution in technology and its advanced applications, which have become a feature of the modernera to determine its features and its path of development. These features and path have affected the fields and systems of science and different knowledge and are reflected in the field of architecture. These transformations come with the phenomenon of alienation in architecture. Although many international and local studies and proposals have discussed the topic of alienation in architecture, they did not address the dimensions of technology on the topic of architecture alienation. Therefore, the research problem appears in the lack of a clear vision of the dimensions of architecture technology on the architecture alienation. The study aims to determine these dimensions "and to achieve, an analytical approach is followed according to three axis's :1. Architecture technology2. Alienation of architecture3. Dimensions of architecture technology on the alienation of architecture The research concludes that the rapid technological development leads to the architectural chaos and the emergence of a state of alienation on these axis's.
