The Tripoli Green Belt Area Mobility Master plan has been developed over a period of 12 months, by Libyan and Italian experts team. It is designed as a strategic planning tool. Therefore it observes the context, quantifies and measures phenomena, defines targets, identifies guidelines, establishes measures, proposes solutions, and verifies results. Transport AssessmentTripoli Green Belt Systematica The effectiveness of the guidelines defined in the Master plan have been tested using the traffic model.

Public Transport Scheme The map on the right simplifies the public transport network within the Green Belt area. The interchanges between the lines and all the stops are highlighted in a schematic way for an easier comprehension. Public Transport Network The overall potential user coverage of all the public transport lines inside the Green Belt area is around 130,000 units (almost 50% of population inside the Green Belt area is within 250 meters from a public transport stop). This simulation underlines that the efficiency of this public transport network, not only in terms of territorial coverage but also for the potential number of users.

Road network and planned junctions revision Correct junction design is the key to reduce traffic congestion and to increase the overall capacity of the network. Walking Strategy The main general aim of the strategy is the creation of an urban environment to be properly adapted and designed (or redesigned) also in favor of the so called vulnerable road users, in order to rebalance the present situation, negatively characterized by the physical and visual dominance of motorized traffic. Parking Strategy The aim of this study is to estimate future parking demand within the Green Belt area and to evaluate the required parking provision to be guaranteed at 2020, based on the assumption that 50% of the predicted trips will be made by public transport and 50% by private cars.

Cycling Strategy due to its topography and favorable climate, the City reveals great and interesting potentials: either for a considerable development of appropriate continuous cycling infrastructures or for a massive increase in cycling use. Taxi Strategy A city as big as Tripoli needs to conceive the transport system as a multiple mode network where also taxies can play an important role. For this reason a new taxi management is of fundamental importance for the success of the mobility master plan. Traffic Office Due to the high impact of the new traffic strategies proposed by this master plan it is of utter importance to create a Traffic Office, completely dedicated to the implementation of the new strategies and traffic regulations. The Traffic Office must have adequate

The overall conclusion that led the proposed road strategies in this study are: 1-Completion and upgrading of the 1 st Ring Road. 2-Downgrading of the coastal and historical centre road systems. 3-Rehabilitation of urban spaces. It has to be kept in mind that the road strategies will have to be implemented along with the other strategies proposed in this Master plan for the best case scenario.

LOCALISATION: The National Parks Safari Park Designer: Sep Park Design Libya it is spread over 1.775.500 sq km, only a small part of its territory has been spared from the desert. 9/10 th of the country lay on the desert parts of the Sahara: large desert shelves with sandy ergs or rocky hamadas, flat country shelving to the Mediterranean Sea. Tripoli Safari Park s site is located 20km south of Tripoli. It is spread over 540 ha, between latitudes 32,70 and 32, 727 N and longitudes 13,16 E and 13,194.

Ecological Assessments This study was undertaken during the optimal period in terms of flowering. Inventories were undertaken by visiting the site by foot to gain an overview of all variety of vegetation involved and then to understand their organization within the landscape. For each variety at least one record was made to characterize the typical plant species. Most of them were localized using a GPS. Furthermore each type of vegetation identified as well as its associated species has been photographed.

Enhance & Preserve the Existing Natural Heritage Maintain & Increase The Ecological Diversity: Actions presented below assume three main intentions 1. Restoration of degraded areas, 2. Diversify eucalypts woodlands in terms of stratification and species, 3. Maintain good hosting conditions for the existing fauna.

Inform, Educate & Increase The Public Awareness The measures presented below are divided into three operational objectives: 1. Welcome the public and enable the discovery of the site with suitable accommodations. 2. Inform and increase the public awareness of Libya natural heritage richness. 3. Make a team to manage the site and the public welcoming.

Re-evaluation Study for landfill in Libya The Engineering Consulting Office for Utilities ECOU carry a study for environmental assessment of four landfill sites used for solid waste in Libya, two in Tripoli, one in Sirte, and one in Benghazi.

Tripoli case study Ain Zara dump: is Located within the city of Tripoli with estimated area of about 19.4 hectares blocks of waste with height of 45 m from ground level. Next to the landfill site, a residential development area, with agricultural nature communities. The landfill was closed in the eighties and then reopened briefly in 2000, where it received a quantity of waste estimated around 800 tons before it is closed again completely based on a decision of the high court obtained by the local population.

Sawani dump: Is Located 7 km to the south and southwest of the city. It is surrounded by farms and residential buildings, where there are agricultural lands close to the landfill, which is irrigated by groundwater wells. There is also a power plant in the south side of the landfill as well as waste recycling plant in the south-eastern side of the landfill. Based on the future developments plans for the region, the area has been dedicated to be an industrial development zone. The landfill was closed in the late eighties or early nineties. The landfill rise blocks of waste of (20-25) meters. And the amount of waste present in the landfill is about 2.5 million cubic meters, and some of the edges of the waste are steep, where there are signs of gases and smoke rising from the edges, and this was confirmed by residents next to the landfill during the study.

Objectives of the study The main objectives of the assessment study is to obtain information regarding configuration geological area of the landfill, and the status of the contamination, and gases, and groundwater quality (if any) and the direction of flow, in addition to the properties of waste at the site and determine the changes in the landfill site since initial field survey in the water in 2008, and until you determine the types, sizes and concentrations of pollutants list and their causes.

Results and recommendations Based on the work of the study and risk assessment conducted in landfills, it has been found necessary to develop a strategy for how to manage the waste and waste and methods of treatment and disposal at the site. The options available for the rehabilitation of landfills confined to only three options are: 1. The total elimination of waste. 2. Site rehabilitation. 3. Leave the status quo as it is.

Conclusions The study to reach the following conclusions: 1- there may be a risk to public health may result from the current landfill and status. 2-The higher concentrations of certain substances in the groundwater extracted from irrigation wells surrounding the area(magnesium chloride and sodium) may be caused by evaporation rates and salinity below the surface. 3-there is a risk of slight to moderate to public health as a result to the drilling operations. 4-There is a slight risk of gas to neighboring buildings, and on-site workers to take appropriate measures to address greenhouse gas during the work period.
