| Abstract | ||||
| This paper presents a framework and analytical studies to evaluate the impacts of airport locations on the surrounding urban area and land uses. This work is based on reviewing the impacts of some international airports on land uses and compared them with those of Hurghada International Airport in Egypt. The description of land use surrounding Hurghada International Airport was obtained from the general strategic plan for Hurghada City in 2015-2027, prepared by the General Authority for Urban Planning (GAUP). Compatibility factors that were used for evaluating the development of land use around airports are generally presented, as well as the criteria of these factors. Two main compatibility factors were applied, namely noise and safety, but the safety factor was applied only from a land-use point of view. The results of the present study indicated that some land uses are incompatible with the noise factor as well as other uses are incompatible with the safety factor in terms of the type of land use. For unused areas, the permitted and prohibited uses are mentioned relative to the location of each area within its safety zone. | ||||
