Abstract: Rapid urbanization and population growth since 1980 have become central issues in big cities of developing countries like Egypt. As Egypt was experiencing active modernization processes in the twentieth century, its urban population has increased very significantly both in its numbers and proportions. With the rapid economic growth and urban expansion, the demand for building and infrastructure construction has also increased rapidly, particularly in the residential sector. Undoubtedly, the urban system plays a dominant role in establishing Egypt's energy consumption profile, where the CO2 emissions from Egyptian cities and their share in country emissions have a powerful influence on achieving the country's national carbon emission reduction target. While many countries have recognized the significant role of urban planning in the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions, the spatial planning framework in Egypt is still lacking applications in this aspect. The scope of this paper is to d

Abstract: GIS is a powerful tool for researches relating to many environmental problems and especially in water quality management such as sustainable water- use plan, assessing water quality and managing water resources on a local or regional scale. The models are linked with GIS for output data and results presentation. In this paper the interpolation function in GIS technology and Surfer software were applied to zone the surface water quality in Tri An Reservoir according to parameters: pH, DO, BOD5, COD, TSS, NH4 +, P-PO4, turbidity and coli form. A series of data related to these parameters in three years 2010, 2013 and 2014 was collected to be input data for the interpolation. Then, the interpolation maps of parameters through years were built to compare and assess surface water quality in Tri An Reservoir.
