Abstract

This paper presents a framework and analytical studies to study and evaluate impact of airport's locations on surrounding urban context and land uses types. In this context, theoretical framework further refined based on reviewing some international airports case's studies results. The aim of this paper is studying compatibility of land uses surrounding international Airports (Case Study Hurghada International Airport). The description of land use Surrounding Hurghada International Airport according to the adopted general strategic plan for Hurghada City in 2015 until 2027, which is prepared by The General Authority for Urban Planning (GAUP). Compatibility factors that are used for evaluating the development of land uses around airports are generally presented, as well as the criteria of these factors. Two main compatibility factors were applied, namely noise and safety, but the safety factor was applied only from land use point of view. The results of applied study showed that some land uses incompatible with the noise factor as well as other uses are incompatible with the safety factor in terms of the type of use. For unused areas, the permitted and prohibited uses are mentioned relative to location of each area within its safety zone.
