Analytical Appraisal of Nationals and Expatriates Housing Choices in Emerging Cities: The Case of Metropolitan Doha, 2019, Open House International, Urban International Press, United Kingdom, Vol. 44, Issue 4, PP. 64-72, ISSN # 0160-2601). Abstract The case of metropolitan Doha presents a unique study that has witnessed several transition phases in the urbanization process. It has embarked in massive urbanization processes as part of the national planning vision. Nationals constitute 11% and expatriates constitute 89% of the total population of Qatar, which is environed by the government to manage the economic dynamism. Housing choice reflects the joint influences of government policies, housing market conditions, and personal factors such as housing preferences and the income level. The paper aims at studying housing choices for nationals and expatiates in metropolitan Doha through assessing the factors that limit housing choice for nationals and expatriates, providing policy recommendations to address the demand-supply gap in the market, and propose housing distribution in view of the developed housing choice framework. Three tools have been used: content analysis of reference data, questionnaire survey of housing preferences, and qualitative interview of experts’ perceptions. This study has provided qualitative data on the issues of housing distribution and expansion in relation to housing choices. It has concluded baseline information for the nationals and expatriates housing distribution and the demographic dilemma. Keywords: Housing Choice; Governmental Policies; Housing Supply; Housing Preferences; Income Level; Metropolitan Doha.

Identification and Analysis of Land Use Change in Doha Downtown Neighborhoods, 2020, Journal of Urban Planning and Development, 146 (1), American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), DOI: 10.1061/(ASCE)UP.1943-5444.0000544, ISSN:!0733-9488. Abstract The neighborhood concept was first introduced in the 1920s by Clarence Perry. This paper adapts Clarence Perry’s neighborhood concept and other neighborhood planning theories. It studies the land use dynamics of Fereej Abdul Aziz, one of downtown neighborhoods in Doha. The theory is reinterpreted to study three parameters: physical, mobility, and social aspects. The main objective is to empirically investigate the dynamics of existing land uses of downtown neighborhoods. The study aims at exploring types of land activities and their existing conditions in the study area. The findings aid in making land use guidelines for the downtown neighborhoods in Doha while considering preferences of the inhabitants. The study provides useful insights and efficient planning preference for land use changes in downtown neighborhoods that occur due to the rapid urban growth not only in Doha but also in other emerging cities. Keywords: Doha; Downtown neighborhood; Housing diversity; Land use mix; Urban development.

Investigating Housing Distribution for the Expatriate Population in Doha, 2019, Journal of Urban, Planning and Transport Research, Taylor & Francis, Vol.7 Issue 1, pp. 34-52. DOI: 10.1080/21650020.2019.1635520, ISSN!2165-0020 Abstract Expatriates constitute 89% of Qatar’s total population and are becoming important factors in the economic dynamism by satisfying employment sectors. The theoretical framework of this paper is based on Gordon’s theory which distinguishes between migrants: housing streams and employment streams. The objectives are to: 1) Investigate housing distribution for the expatriate population based on governmental regulations for the blue-collar, and housing preferences for the white-collar workers and 2) Develop a recommendation for expatriates’ housing distribution in Doha. The research tools are: 1) Content analysis of recent census data, 2) Questionnaire survey for white-collar workers in different sectors, and 3) Interview with real estate experts to present insights about the expatriates housing distribution in Doha. The paper concludes that housing streams in Doha are dynamic, whereas employment streams are static. The governmental approach shows that a qualitative change in the demographic composition for Doha’s population will take place; namely, white-collar workers would gradually replace blue-collar workers in future. Keywords: Population growth; blue- collar and white-collar workers; housing streams; employment streams; housing distribution

Investigating Land Use Dynamics in Emerging Cities: The Case of Downtown Neighbourhood In Doha, 2019, Journal of Urban Design, Taylor & Francis, DOI: 10.1080/13574809.2019.1632179, ISSN 2029-7955 Abstract The study of land use dynamics in emerging cities will inform sustainable development in the future. Doha has witnessed urban transition phases. The study objectives are: (1) conduct a review of neighbourhood planning theories and (2) develop a prototype for downtown land use dynamics in emerging cities.

Design and Performance Analysis of a Regenerative Evaporative Cooler for Cooling of Buildings in Arid Climates,2018, Building and Environment, Elsevier, Vol. 139, ISSN: 0360-1323 Abstract Evaporative cooling has been considered a low energy consumption process that often is associated with dis- placement ventilation and passive cooling strategies of buildings. While significant energy savings can be accrued from using evaporative cooling, there are many design challenges to improve the processes of heat and mass transfer and reduce design complexities. This paper seeks to advance the design of evaporative cooling through building and testing a novel regenerative evaporative cooler prototype. It proposes a design that integrates heat pipe and porous ceramic tube modules as an alternative to plate heat exchangers. The paper describes design arrangement of the cooler, a mathematical model and laboratory test results. Under controlled laboratory test conditions, the measured performance indices of wet bulb effectiveness, specific cooling capacity and coefficient of performance (COP) were determined as 0.8, 140 W per m2 of wet ceramic surface area and 11.43 respectively. Furthermore, experimental results show that under typical ambient conditions commensurate with that prevailing in arid climates, the cooler air supply temperature was as much as 14 °C below that of the ambient air.

Abstract

New Housing Patterns and Spatial Fragmentation in Gulf Cities,2019, Journal of Urbanism: International Research on Placemaking and Urban Sustainability (RJOU), Taylor & Francis, DOI: 10.1080/17549175.2019.1626263 Abstract In recent years, the rapid growth of Gulf cities has led to a transformation of local settlement structures. The key objective of this paper is to deliver an overview of new housing patterns and how they impact spatial fragmentation. To identify the spatial distribution of new housing typologies and to explore the recent transformation of urban fabrics, GIS analyses were carried out and Space Syntax models were developed in the case of Qatar’s capital, Doha. This is coupled with an analysis of the travel routes of 130 residents which were assessed to investigate key aspects related to fragmentation. The outcomes include both new insights into the understanding of urban development tendencies in Gulf cities and the introduction of a methodological approach to establish responsive strategies in fast-growing and car-dependent cities.

Migrant Knowledge Workers’ Perceptions of Housing Conditions in Gulf Cities, 2017, Journal of International Migration and Integration, Springer, Volume 18, Issue 69, PP. 01-19, Print ISSN:!1488-3473, Online ISSN: 1874-6365

Abstract The various efforts in diversifying local economies in most Gulf States led to the emergence of new medium to high-income groups of migrant knowledge workers whose efforts are required to develop various new economic sectors. This paper aims to investigate the current housing conditions and perceptions of these migrant communities to identify key similarities and differences with respect to housing made available to them and depending on their cultural background. To this end, the methodology involves field surveys to explore the three main housing typologies for higher-income groups and a questionnaire with a total of 258 knowledge workers in the city of Doha as a representative case to investigate the associated perceptions of four dominant groups from different cultural backgrounds. The findings reveal that there is a distinct social segregation between cultural groups, which is mainly rooted in varying income levels. Furthermore, the supply-driven market has hardly integrated cultural needs of migrants and thus diversified and inclusive housing has been identified as major planning and design challenge.

Lifestyle Trends and Housing Typologies in Emerging Multicultural Cities, 2017, Journal of Architecture and Urbanism, Vol. 41, Issue 4, PP. 316-327, Taylor & Francis, DOI: 10.3846/20297955.2017.1415773, ISSN 2029-7955 Abstract The introduction of new housing typologies in emerging cities is rooted in dynamics including infrastructural investments, urban growth rates and new development policies. In accommodating new lifestyles, demand-driven patterns by tenants and property owners are the main factors consolidating development trends in future. This paper explores the relationship between new lifestyle patterns and housing typologies in emerging cities. Within the context of Gulf cities, namely Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha and Manama, this paper investigates demographic structures and housing trends where a rapid phase of urban growth has transformed local urbanism. Current social structures were analysed by following a new ‘lifestyle framework’ resulting in the characterization of four main lifestyle trends. This is coupled with the assessment of 240 cases of new residences from the Gulf cities under study. The juxtaposition of both studies offers an outlook relevant to the importance of a transition from supply-driven to demand-driven housing dynamics to accommodate emerging multicultural societies. The paper thus contributes to a better understanding and identification of the social groups that are currently lacking suitable housing. Keywords: Housing typologies; Lifestyle trends; Real estate; Gulf cities; Urban transformation.


Computer Modelling and Experimental Investigation of Building Integrated Sub-Wet Bulb Temperature Evaporative Cooling System, Applied Thermal Engineering, Elsevier, Volume 115, 25 March 2017, PP. 201–211, ISSN: 1359-4311 Abstract The paper presents computer modelling and laboratory experiment results of a sub-wet bulb temperature indirect evaporative cooling system for space cooling in buildings. The prototype employs hollow porous ceramic water containers as wet media material for water evaporation. The cooled air is delivered without increasing its moisture content. The performance of the cooler was evaluated using a computer model, and the results of which were validated experimentally. The cooling capacity and effectiveness of the cooler were evaluated at inlet air dry bulb temperature of 30 and 35 C and relative humidity ranging from 35% to 50%. It was found that the cooler can supply air for space cooling at sub-wet bulb temperature conditions; achieve measured cooling capacity approaching 225 W/m2 of exposed ceramic material wet surface area and wet bulb effectiveness higher than unity. The high thermal performance of the constructed evaporative cooler indicates the system could be a potential substitute to conventional mechanical air-conditioning systems in buildings in many parts of the world where hot and dry climatic conditions prevail. Keywords: Evaporative cooling Sub-wet bulb temperature Heat and mass transfer Wet media Dew point

A Comparative Assessment of Housing Dynamics In Abu Dhabi and Doha, 2016, ArchNet- International Journal of Architectural Research- IJAR, ArchNet, Vol. 10, No. 3, pp. 152- 169, ISSN: 1938 7806 Abstract Abu Dhabi and Doha have evolved rapidly in the twentieth century due to the investment of oil and gas revenues. The fast economic growth resulted in an extensive period of urbanization. The various urban dynamics had a great impact with regards to new housing typologies during the last few decades. Doha’s housing market is studied in comparison with Abu Dhabi’s market considering their population growth rates, real estate market conditions, socio-cultural characteristics, and political approaches. The study is focused on the period from 2004 to 2013 where rapid urban development took place in both cities. The comparative assessment is based on three key aspects: housing typologies, housing distribution, in addition to housing supply and demand. The paper highlights that the urban growth in both cities is initiated via government investments, especially in the real estate market. This is reflected in the case of very similar housing dynamics in both cities. A gradual replacement of low-rise residential villas by high-rise residential towers (apartments/ penthouses) is currently observed in both cities. Keywords: Housing development; housing dynamics; urban growth; residential market; Abu Dhabi; Doha.


A Chronological Exploration of the Evolution of Housing Typologies in Gulf Cities, 2016, City, Territory and Architecture, Springer, 3 (1): 14, 1-15, ISSN# 2195-2701, DOI 10.1186/s40410-016-0043-z Abstract This paper traces the evolution of housing typologies in four major cities in the Gulf region, namely Doha, Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Manama. The study reviews the formation and historical events in the region, which had a significant impact on new social as well as economic realities and consequently evolving housing types during the last two centuries. The methodological approach is based on reviewing a number of case studies representing local housing typologies throughout distinctive historic periods which were categorized in four periods: the post-nomadic, traditional, modern, and contemporary. The main objective is to identify the process of transformation by applying a comparative assessment of the different periods in order to examine continuities or ruptures between them. Thus, particular layout elements were analysed and compared. Conclusions are drawn to underline contemporary challenges while offering projections for future housing typologies in the selected cities and other similar ones.

The Role of Mega Projects in Redefining Housing Development in Gulf Cities, 2016, Open House International, Urban International Press, United Kingdom, Volume 41, Issue 2, PP. 56-63, ISSN # 0160-2601 Abstract Since the end of the 1990s, large-scale mega projects have been initiated in Gulf cities to enable an unprecedented urban growth and the expansion of new economic sectors. In this respect, mega projects have played a key role in redefining housing developments in Gulf cities. This paper explores the newly emerging housing typologies and their distinctive roles in defining new urban environments. The selected case studies are located in the Jumeirah District in Dubai, which can be seen as the first prototype of a large cohesive development area that has been built of nine rather differing mega projects including the iconic Palm project and one of the largest residential high-rise agglomerations in the Middle East. The paper is based on the evaluation of official planning data from each project as well as field obser- vations. Conclusions are drawn to highlight key implications while identifying housing development tendencies. Keywords: Mega Projects, Housing, Urbanism, Dubai, Gulf.


Regeneration of sustainability in Contemporary Architecture: Approach Based on Native Function and Activities to Strengthen Identity, 2015, International Social and Behavioral Sciences, Elsevier Ltd., Vol. 216, pp. 800- 809, Doi: 10.1016/j.sbspro.2015.12.077 Abstract Qatar is exemplary for a country that has experienced fundamental economic and political changes in the last decades. One of the challenges that Qatar faces in achieving the national vision 2030 is the environmental development. This is by management of the environment such that there is harmony between economic growth, social development and environmental protection. Identity becomes an increasingly prominent topic in GCC region. It is a way of locating people within their social context and one with clear relevance to environmental attitudes and behaviors. This paper focuses on a valid input to strengthen the identity as a part of the urban context in Qatar and describe how it is relevant to the natural environment. There are many researches that have directly or indirectly addressed environmental identity, and that has shown the importance of identity in the building elements. This study analyzes data about three districts throughout Doha city- the capital of Qatar. The study aims at determining whether cultural practices were associated with stronger local identity. In this paper, a detailed review of the contemporary architecture in Qatar is carried out. This review demonstrates where ‘Traditional Criteria’ are available in three chosen contemporary areas in Doha- Native Function/ Activities responsive contemporary trend. An analytical study based on a survey process produces a framework of unifying cultural practice with contemporary architecture in the State of Qatar. The results of the cases study demonstrate what was learned and what was gained in understanding the Qatari contemporary architecture and how the cultural practice can be integrated to the contemporary architecture to support the identity of the country. Keywords: Contemporary Architecture; Traditional Criteria; Cultural Practice; Sustainable Development.

A Review of Evaporative Cooling Technologies,2015, International Journal of Environmental Science and Development, Singapore, Vol. 6, No. 2, pp. 111- 117, ISSN: 2010-0264, DOI: 10.7763/IJESD.2015.V6.571 Abstract: Air-conditioning plays an essential role in ensuring occupants thermal comfort. However, building’s electricity bills have become unaffordable. Yet the commercially dominant cooling systems are intensively power-consuming ones, i.e. vapor compression systems. This paper aims to review the recent developments concerning evaporative cooling technologies that could potentially provide sufficient cooling comfort, reduce environmental impact and lower energy consumption in buildings. An extensive literature review has been conducted and mapped out the state-of-the-art evaporative cooling systems. The review covers direct evaporative cooling, indirect evaporative cooling and combined direct-indirect cooling systems. The indirect evaporative coolers include both wet-bulb temperature evaporative coolers and dew point evaporative coolers have been of particular interest because of high thermal performance. The dew point evaporative coolers have shown great potential of development and research opportunity for their improved efficiency and low energy use. Keywords: Evaporative cooling, effectiveness, dew point, dry bulb temperature.

Title: A Novel Passive Air Conditioning System Funding Agency: Qatar National Research Fund, National Priority Research Program (NPRP), 4th cycle- NPRP 4 - 407 - 2 – 153 Fund Amount: 657,075.00 US Dollars. Project Duration: 3 years. Status: Awarded in April, 2012- Completed

Project objective: The proposed project investigates the design and testing of a novel air conditioning system, which employs passive components and operates on indirect evaporative cooling to achieve sub-wet bulb air temperatures. ! Progress The research team led by Dr Boukhanouf (University of Nottingham) and Dr H Ibrahim (Qatar University) developed a novel passive cooling system for application in buildings. The researchers built and test two different types: a building integrated and a standalone cooling system using stable structure ceramic materials as wet media. The laboratory tests show excellent thermal cooling performance with temperature drop of 10 oC under controlled conditions. Some of the laboratory and theoretical results have been published in international journals and at conferences. The project LPI and Co-PI are currently considering the routes to protect the sensitive design outcomes of the research work through patents. ! Description of the system One of the systems being under testing (not subject to IP) is a standalone cooling unit. It consists of porous ceramic material tubes filled with water and in combination with heat pipes technology. Air movement over the wet ceramic tubes causes water to siphon through the pores to the tubes’ surface where it evaporates and removes heat from the heat pipes. The heat pipes is a heat transfer interface device which carries heat from the dry channel to the wet channel, hence reducing the temperature of the supply air to the building without adding moisture.

Title: Unifying Qatari Architecture Language and Contemporary Architecture: Case Study of Doha- Qatar. Funding Agency: Qatar National Research Fund, Undergraduate Research Experience Program (UREP), 11th cycle Fund Amount: 30,000 US Dollars. Project Duration: one year. Status: Awarded in January, 2012- Completed

Research Objectives: Traditional architecture is a significant trend for fortifying the cultural identity. One of the main reasons for the attractiveness of Qatar is its ability to balance between the Qatari and the modern language in the contemporary architecture. Many of Qatar’s heritage buildings are magnificent in the sense that they were traditionally designed strictly according to the Qatari architecture trend. In recent years, Qatari urban has come to encompass a greater variety of western architectural styles. Some buildings are entirely distinctive and local in their character; By contrast, many other buildings are the product of direct western architectural influences. The research presents indicators based on traditional architecture for integrating the Qatari architecture language in the urban contemporary environment with the support of city image and urban identity. These indicators are to be developed by exploring the specific characteristics of the contemporary architecture based on a theoretical study by literature review and qualitative study detailing the different variables of the architecture style includes: identifying the historical background, function, physical elements, building materials, and physical surroundings.

Research Significance: Now that Qatar has state of art technologies, the country has become home to innumerable western contemporary architecture that have striking architectural designs that have got modern interiors and stunning architectural design. Qatar's successful 2022 world cup bid will likely accelerate large-scale urban, architecture and infrastructure projects. It is noted that "Oil wealth, along with social and political change, have threatened Islamic culture and traditions. This identity crisis is readily apparent in architectural design. A desire for rapid development. The Islamic concepts of unity, harmony and continuity were often forgotten in the rush for industrial development.


Title: Assessing School Siting: Optimize School Siting in Doha- Qatar. Funding Agency: Qatar National Research Fund, Undergraduate Research Experience Program (UREP), 10th cycle Fund Amount: 60,000 US Dollars. Project Duration: one year. Status: Awarded in June 2011

Significance: Schools and their locations have a tremendous effect on how our communities grow! Deciding where to build a new school or whether to renovate an existing one is not an easy decision. Superintendents, school boards, city planners, planning commissions, and the community must balance multiple viewpoints and priorities to meet specific related educational, environmental, economical, social, and fiscal goals. The physical connection between communities’ growth and school siting is well documented throughout planning literature. For instance, in their book The Urban Pattern (1980), Gallion and Eisner refer to one of “Clarence Perry” earliest definitions of the neighborhood developed in 1929; the key factors of the “neighborhood unit” is an elementary school that would be located no more than half a mile away. Likewise, educational researchers have shown that school facilities affect student achievement and teaching quality (Schneider 2002; Buckley, Schneider et al, 2004). They have also shown that a school can serve as a learning and service center for the entire community, providing a full range of services such as day care, health care, recreational opportunities, and libraries (Beaumont and Pianca 2000; Bingler, Quinn et al, 2004) “instilling a sense of pride” and “building connections between members of the school and the community”(McDonald, 2010), in which results in better education for students and better economic development, housing value, and health outcomes for the community.

Abstract: Despite the great development movement that is currently taking place in Qatar and despite its obvious economic impact; few techniques have been developed and are actually in use to support decision makers in schools siting decisions. Smart Growth and good school facility planning are two of the strategies promoted by this research for adoption by the local authorities to plan, build, and renovate the state’s schooling facilitates. Both strategies assure that schools in Qatar will fit into the overall growth and zoning plans and projects for the neighborhood and/or community. Developing a dialogue between the various planning entities can provide for the exchange of information and data so that comprehensive plans address all of the needs and requirements of the constituents. Through developing a better understanding of the benefits of Smart Growth policies, school facility planning, and community-based schools, this research offers a set of recommendations and probable benefits that could be achieved to enhance the selection strategy of school locations in Qatar. A sample that represents most of the schooling types in Qatar is selected and examined in this research in terms of location, available services, traffic and safety and security consideration, and walking conditions within half a mile from the school location. The results were then used to highlight the criteria influencing school siting in Qatar, a baseline to empowering the local authorities to take more informed decisions about future school siting, improving site selection guidelines, and developing school siting rules that follows school facility planning regulations.


Title: Green Metric for Doha Tall Buildings-A Step Toward Qatar Eco-city Advocacy. Funding Agency: Qatar National Research Fund, Undergraduate Research Experience Program (UREP), 6th cycle Fund Amount: 30,000 US Dollars. Project Duration: one year. Status: Delivered in June, 2010- Completed

Abstract: The research defines the importance of development a green metric/indicator for Doha tall buildings. This part is also studying significant considerations of universal famous tall buildings design that qualifies green criteria, as an approach to be refined as assessment evaluation criteria for State of Qatar. Literature review is intended to cover references specifically dealing with indicators of green criteria in general and for State of Qatar in particular. An extensive classification for the criteria is included. The narrative is divided more simply into sections that: 1) give an overview of the problem; 2) propose a framework for looking at green indicators; 3) deal with these indicators to apply for tall buildings; 4) discuss indicators that would be particularly useful to State of Qatar. The Metrics and indicators is also implemented along the way to enable Qatari authority, and building industry decision makers to understand the degree of green progress being made toward any proposed tall buildings in Qatar. The metric enables to send early warning of potential problems, and highlight opportunities for improvement. The established assessment criteria will be used by governor and private sectors throughout the State of Qatar as a purpose of making urban spaces more environmentally responsible and to embrace green tall buildings in many forms including new construction, renovations, site planning and more. By the end of this stage, the constructed green criteria for Doha tall buildings will be implemented according to its priority/weight, to perform faster and more accurate green measuring during the early stage of tall building design. The implemented criteria are to be applied to evaluate the selected tall buildings in State of Qatar in the next stage.

Conclusion: Green architecture is defined as the method in which the building design takes advantage of using resources in an efficient way. Green development concepts (applied to the design, construction, and operation of buildings) can enhance both the economic wellbeing and environmental health of communities. These enhancements are achieved by meeting the resource requirements such as energy, water and materials. Green architecture also emphasises reducing the impacts of buildings on the environment and human health during the building’s life cycle. This paper briefly reviewed various GBA schemes such as BRANZ and BREEAM and selected LEED as the main reference for establishment green metric for Doha’s tall buildings. Theoretical studies about Qatar (including information about the country’s natural resources, industries, future view and the steps that the country is planning to achieve a greener environment) were conducted as a main tool for understanding and establishing the Qatari green system. The acquired knowledge related to the state of Qatar in particular was compared in relevance to the LEED criteria and recommendations were made regarding adaption to the LEED scheme to develop a GBA for tall buildings in Qatar. Accordingly it is concluded that the LEED GBA is not, as is, an accurate evaluation for tall buildings in Qatar, and it is important to implement a green tall building sustainability assessment tool that applies specifically to Qatar. This tool should take account of the existing legislation in Qatar, besides the region’s social, economic, environmental and cultural conditions that are different from other parts of the world. Issues such as desertification, scarcity of water and cultural identity have to be considered in a manner relevant to Qatar and the region.
