The Relationship between urban Transport and the Population of the city of the Al-Bayda

Abstract

 the population mass in the city of Al-Badya has provided all means of population growth from high birth rates and low death rates, which led to high rates of natural increase, in addition to the abnormal increase that contributed to about 56.7% of the total population increase ,and this is an evidence of the city receiving large numbers of immigrants arriving in it during census periods, which exceeded the natural increase in the population growth and with the increase in the population in the city ,increased passenger traffic , which required more advanced means of transportation to contribute in the urban transport of passengers within it and the most important of them was minibuses with capacities ranging from 11-16 passerigers, in addition to taxis and private cars, this increase also requires strengthening the street's network, improving it and diversifying it to accommodate the volume of traffic on it.

This rapid urban  growth of the city has created a situation in which the inner structure of the city has become unable to make it happen, and transportation and road requirements have reached a critical stage as a result. The deficit in transportation requirements has represented in many problems, the most important of which were crowd and traffic accidents .

The city of Al-Bayda is divided in to four main neighborhoods that are not equal in area and services importance and these neighborhoods, were represented in the old market neighborhoods ,,Al-Ghariga, the eastern Al-Bayda ,and the western Al- Bayda   neighborhoods,  in addition to that there is a strong correlation in the city between the population density and the transportation network as the length the streets network increase and the number of passenger transport vehicles in the city with increasing population density so that the streets network absorbs transportation vehicles this increase as well as the presence of high population densities are ready for using the puplic transportation.
