Proposed Database and Data Analysis System for the Reconstruction of Housing and Utilities Infrastructure

Abstract

Benghazi has faced decades of delayed development plans, resulting in entire residential neighborhoods lacking essential services, or having deteriorated services exceeding their lifespan, compounded by war-related destruction. Addressing this requires a comprehensive and dynamic national reconstruction project, based on a scientific and flexible strategy with prioritized implementation and funding alternatives, supported by a trained management team capable of analyzing economic, social, political, human, and financial resources, in line with sustainable development principles.

This study proposes the creation of a comprehensive database covering all service and production sectors in the city, including evaluation of above-ground and underground infrastructure, water and energy networks, human resources, and training needs. Detailed data on residential neighborhoods, population, housing units, and available services are also included. This data forms the basis of an electronic system for data analysis and decision support in reconstruction and sustainable development. The system facilitates monitoring project execution, setting priorities, selecting optimal technical and financial alternatives, scheduling budgets, and provides dynamic updates to ensure reliability for future development projects.
