- تعد المنطقة العازلة من المكونات الفعالة في الضفة النهرية وهي الحد الفاصل بين الضفة والنهر، ويسبب أي ضرر يحصل فيها عدداً من المشكلات في بنيتها الطبيعية والإيكولوجية. إن أغلب هذه المشكلات قابلة للتشخيص والملاحظة في الفضاء الخارجي للمنطقة العازلة، ويكون ظهورها بنسب متفاوتة تبعاً لنوع التدخل البشري في المنطقة العازلة، ويؤثر هذا التدخل بشكل سلبي في الضفة النهرية من جهة وفي النهر من جهة أخرى. وفي ضوء ذلك توجهت الدراسات نحو بحث الآليات الإيكولوجية المختلفة التي تضمن سلامة التعامل مع الفضاءات الخارجية في المناطق العازلة النهرية. وقد تمثلت مشكلة البحث الرئيسة في غياب القيمة الايكولوجية للمنطقة العازلة في منطقة أبو نؤاس في مدينة بغداد وقلة المعالجات المدروسة فيها على المستويين الحضري والتصميمي مما يسبب ضعف التأثير والتداخل الإيكولوجي بين النهر والمدينة، وقلة وجود الربط فيها مع المنطقة العازلة التي تعد مكوناً أساساً يربط بين الماء واليابسة. فضلاً عن قلة الدراسات التي تناولت هذا المحور في بيان وتحديد وتشخيص آليات ومؤشرات إيكولوجيا الفضاء الخارجي في المنطقة العازلة النهرية لمدينة بغداد. وبذلك فقد تحدد هدف البحث في تشخيص آليات ومؤشرات إيكولوجيا الفضاءات الخارجية وتطبيقها في حافة نهر دجلة (بوصفها حالة دراسية)، المتمثلة بمنطقة ومتنزه أبي نؤاس في مدينة بغداد بهدف تشخيص أكبر لواقع حال المنطقة العازلة ومدى تطبيق القيم الإيكولوجية فيها. قد أفرزت النتائج التي خلص إليها البحث في جزئيه النظري والتطبيقي منهجاً واضحاً للاستراتيجيات الإيكولوجية التي تحقق إيكولوجيا المنطقة العازلة ووضع آليات محددة لتشخيص المشكلات الإيكولوجية والحلول المقترحة لها لكي تتوفر بيئة نهرية ذات طبيعة إيكولوجية آمنة وفعالة لاستقبال الفعاليات والاستعمالات العامة المختلفة في المنطقة العازلة.
- The buffer zone is an active component of the riverbank. It is the boundary between the bank and the river. Any damage that occurs in the buffer zone causes a number of problems in its natural and ecological structure. Most of these problems are diagnosable and observed in the outer space of the buffer zone. The appearance of these problems is in varying proportions depending on the type of human intervention in them. This intervention can have a negative effect on the riverbank on the one hand and on the river on the other. In light of this, studies have been directed towards examining various ecological mechanisms that ensure the safety of dealing with outer spaces in river buffer areas. The main research problem is represented in the lack of ecological value of the buffer zone in Abu Nuwas area in Baghdad City, as well as the lack of urban and design treatments causing a huge challenge of integration between the river and the city. In addition, the lack of connectivity with the buffer zone, which is a basic component connecting the water to the land. Moreover, few studies have dealt with this topic in studying the strategies of the landscape ecology of in the river buffer zone of Baghdad City. Thus, the research objective is to determine the mechanisms and indicators of the ecology of outer space, and apply them at the edge of the Tigris River (as a case study). Represented by Abu Nuwas area and park in Baghdad City, with the aim of further diagnosis of the situation of the buffer zone and the extent to which ecological values are applied. The results of the research in both its theoretical and practical aspects have produced a clear approach to ecological strategies that achieve buffer zone ecology and the development of specific mechanisms to provide a safe and effective river environment that accommodates various events and uses in the buffer zone, and enhance public awareness of its importance.
