dc.description.abstractThis thesis explores the absence of justice when preparing Urban plans for Damascus City, focusing on the widespread slums, particularly in the eastern areas. The region is crucial as the main gateway to the east entrance of the capital, which has endured substantial damage, destruction, and population displacement due to the Syrian crisis. The research aims to identify the urban planning approach employed by the government, based on legislative frameworks, through an analysis of pre-crisis plans for the Barzeh and Qaboun regions and a detailed study of the proposed post-conflict plan for Qaboun. The Key Findings: Urban Planning Approach: The government’s approach to urban planning has systematically excluded local communities from decision-making and regional organization processes. This exclusion has led to significant violations of human rights and property rights, particularly evident in the Qaboun region. Legislative Gaps: The government-approved legislative framework has a significant gap in it and is unclear, exacerbating spatial justice problems. Community Involvement: The study developed tools to measure local community intervention and the type of urban application employed. The findings indicate that excluding local community involvement in urban planning leads to pronounced spatial injustice. Conclusion: The analysis of the current situation in the Barzeh and Qaboun regions suggests that the government’s exclusionary approach results in significant spatial injustice. This approach has caused human rights violations and property rights infringements. The study highlights the necessity for a more inclusive and transparent legislative framework to ensure equitable urban development in post-conflict settings. By examining the relationship between spatial justice, urban planning practices, and the role of local communities, this thesis offers valuable insights into the fairness and effectiveness of post-conflict reconstruction efforts in Damascus.
