| Abstract | ||||
| Most of the large cities with high population in all countries suffer from traffic congestion that depletes it environmentally and economically. Cairo is negatively impacted with this problem that depletes 4% of the total national revenue of the country. Whenever the government was delayed in finding strategic solutions the problem becomes more complicated and becomes harder to solve. Cairo has the potentials that enables it to modify its conditions through applying procedures, setting legislations, enforcing laws and spreading awareness among citizens regarding importance to cooperate with the government to contain the problem and reduce its impacts. The first procedures and projects that should be applied by the government is to develop system of urban transportation and various means of public transportation networks and reduce using private cars through a group of obstacles or motivations to use means of public transportation and increase the citizens’ confidence in such means of transportation regarding coverage, speed, safety and convenience. This could be also achieved through studying and benefiting from experiences of other countries that were able to apply strategies that have attained satisfactory output such as London, Paris and most European cities. ﺗﻌﺎﻧﻲ ﻣﻌﻈﻢ اﻟﻤﺪن اﻟﻜﺒﺮي ذات اﻟﻜﺜﺎﻓﺔ اﻟﻌﺎﻟﯿﺔ ﺑﻜﻞ ﺑﻠﺪان اﻟﻌﺎﻟﻢ ﻣﻦ ﻣﺸﻜﻠﺔ اﻟﺘﻜﺪس واﻹزدﺣﺎم اﻟﻤﺮوري اﻟﺬي ﯾﺴﺘﻨﺰﻓﮭﺎ ﺑﯿﺌﯿﺎً وإﻗﺘﺼﺎدﯾﺎَ ، و ﻣﺪﯾﻨﺔ اﻟﻘﺎھﺮة ﺑﺸﻜﻞ ﺧﺎص ﺗﺘﺄﺛﺮ ﺳﻠﺒﯿﺎً ﺑﺸﻜﻞ ﺣﺎد ﻣﻦ آﺛﺎر ﺗﻠﻚ اﻟﻤﺸﻜﻠﺔ و اﻟﺘﻲ ﺗﺴﺘﻨﺰف ٤٪ ﻣﻦ اﻟﻨﺎﺗﺞ اﻟﻤﺤﻠﻲ اﻹﺟﻤﺎﻟﻲ ﻟﻠﺪوﻟﺔ ، وﻛﻠﻤﺎ ﺗﺄﺧﺮت اﻟﺪوﻟﺔ ﻓﻲ اﻟﺴﻌﻲ ﻧﺤﻮ ﺣﻠﻮل إﺳﺘﺮاﺗﯿﺠﯿﺔ ﻣﺪروﺳﺔ ﻛﻠﻤﺎ ذادت اﻟﻤﺸﻜﻠﺔ ﺗﻌﻘﯿﺪاً و إﺳﺘﻌﺼﺖ ﻋﻠﻲ اﻟﺤﻞ ، و اﻟﻘﺎھﺮة ﻟﺪﯾﮭﺎ اﻹﻣﻜﺎﻧﯿﺔ اﻟﺘﻲ ﺗﻤﻜﻨﮭﺎ ﻣﻦ ﺗﻌﺪﯾﻞ وﺿﻌﮭﺎ و ذﻟﻚ ﺑﺈﺗﺒﺎع إﺟﺮاءات و ﺳﻦ ﺗﺸﺮﯾﻌﺎت و إﻧﻔﺎذ ﻟﻠﻘﺎﻧﻮن و ﻧﺸﺮ اﻟﻮﻋﻲ ﺑﯿﻦ اﻟﻤﻮاطﻨﯿﻦ ﺑﻀﺮورة اﻟﺘﻌﺎون ﻣﻊ اﻟﺪوﻟﺔ ﻟﺘﺤﺠﯿﻢ اﻟﻤﺸﻜﻠﺔ وﺗﻘﻠﯿﻞ آﺛﺎرھﺎ ، و أول ھﺬه اﻹﺟﺮاءات واﻟﻤﺸﺮوﻋﺎت اﻟﺘﻲ ﯾﺠﺐ أن ﺗﺸﺮع اﻟﺪوﻟﺔ ﻓﻲ ﺗﻨﻔﯿﺬھﺎ ﺗﻄﻮﯾﺮ ﻣﻨﻈﻮﻣﺎت اﻟﻨﻘﻞ اﻟﺤﻀﺮي وﺗﻄﻮﯾﺮ ﺷﺒﻜﺎت اﻟﻨﻘﻞ اﻟﻌﺎم ﺑﻤﺨﺘﻠﻒ وﺳﺎﺋﻠﮫ و اﻟﺤﺪ ﻣﻦ إﺳﺘﺨﺪام اﻟﺴﯿﺎرات اﻟﺨﺎﺻﺔ ﺑﻤﺠﻤﻮﻋﺔ ﻣﻦ اﻟﻌﺮاﻗﯿﻞ أو اﻟﺪواﻓﻊ ﻹﺳﺘﺨﺪام اﻟﻤﻮاﺻﻼت اﻟﻌﺎﻣﺔ و ذﯾﺎدة ﺛﻘﺔ اﻟﻤﻮاطﻨﯿﻦ ﻓﯿﮭﺎ ﻣﻦ ﺣﯿﺚ اﻟﺘﻐﻄﯿﺔ واﻟﺴﺮﻋﺔ واأﻣﺎن و اﻟﺮاﺣﺔ .وﯾﻤﻜﻦ اﻹﺳﺘﻔﺎدة ﻣﻦ ﺗﺠﺎرب ﺑﻌﺾ اﻟﻤﺪن اﻟﺘﻲ إﺳﺘﻄﺎﻋﺖ ﺗﻨﻔﯿﺬ ﺳﯿﺎﺳﺎت ﺣﻘﻘﺖ ﻓﻌﻼً ﻣﺮدودات ﻣﺮﺿﯿﺔ ﺟﺪا ﻣﺜﻞ ﻣﺪﯾﻨﺔ ﻟﻨﺪن و ﺑﺎرﯾﺲ وﻛﺬا ﻣﻌﻈﻢ اﻟﺪول اﻷوروﺑﯿﺔ. | ||||
