Abstract
Wadi Abu Daraj is located on the eastern edge of El-Galala Plateau on the western coast of the Gulf of Suez. Recently, it has witnessed manifestations of large-scale human change, which appeared in the form of building roads as well as urban and tourist facilities. Work still continues to modify the topography of the wadi in preparation for establishing many engineering facilities. The research aims to assess the relationship between physical determinants and hazards, and human uses through geomatics applications, particularly the assessment of methods of protection from the hazards of slopes and flash floods so as to identify the extent of their effectiveness in regard to engineering facilities and sustainable development projects, and they turned out to be convenient to a large extent for the places and degrees of danger. However, they need to be periodically purified and maintained, particularly the methods of protection from the hazards of flash floods.
يقع وادي أبودرج بالحافة الشرقية لهضبة الجلالة البحرية على الساحل الغربي لخليج السويس، وقد شهد في الفترة الأخيرة مظاهر من التغيير من قبل الإنسان واسع النطاق، والذي ظهر في صورة إقامة طرق ومنشآت عمرانية وسياحية، ومازال العمل مستمر في تعديل طبوغرافية الوادي تمهيداً لإنشاء العديد من المنشآت الهندسية. ويهدف البحث إلى تقييم العلاقة بين المحددات والأخطار الطبيعية والاستخدامات البشرية وذلك عن طريق تطبيقات الجيوماتيكس، وخاصة تقييم وسائل الحماية من أخطار المنحدرات والسيول للتعرف على مدى فعاليتها بالنسبة للمنشآت الهندسية ومشروعات التنمية المستدامة، والتي تبين أنها تتناسب إلى حدٍ كبير مع مواضع ودرجات الخطورة، ولكنها تحتاج إلى تطهير وصيانة بصفة دورية وخاصة وسائل الحماية من أخطار السيول.
