Re-housing of War displaced and Suffering Syrians

We should be faithful to those who sacrificed their lives for a better future for us and our children. As human beings who respect values, we should exert our best to bringing all refugees and deported Syrian back to even better houses and provide what is possible for a better life to them. For all that, we propose this humble contribution to accelerate their return, and drop the phrase “Syrian Refugees” as soon as possible and for good.

The “comprehensive plan”, presented below, is an integrated vision to rebuild “Homes”. This suggests a Supreme Directive Committee to implement the plan on the Syrian ground, which is depicted in appendixes No.11 and 12; two out of twenty appendixes that deal in details with every aspect of the plan while submitting essential data.

1.    Count the damaged houses.

This is not a simple statistic task, but it would reflect the true image for each building and apartment, and damage classification, and the primary solution of strengthening and restoration and their needs, this managed by filling pre-arranged forms by qualified personnel on site attached in appendix 1, then we’ll have a clear idea of the volume of damages we have to deal with.

2.    Estimate the full number of permanent houses needed for deported and affected people all over Syria

This step reckons the real number of houses in each governate, city, and village. appendix1.

3.    Estimate the budget to re-housing Syrian refugees and rehabilitation of the Infrastructure.

Upon the damages described and estimated above, in the upper and infrastructure in each governorate, city, village and street, we were able to estimate the cost of damages in the upper structure in appendix 1. This should be updated, as the bombing and damages grow up till the date. Appendix 2.

4.    Set the timetable according to the available and expected funds.

A priority timetable of rebuild is set according to the severity and needs in each governate, city, village and street, and according to the available fund. See appendix 3.

5.    Raise funds to finance rebuilding.

Also include, offering vital projects, which are in urgent need, to donors, to be executed in a procedure of high transparency and efficiency. Appendix 3.

6.    Set the phases plan for rebuilding and housing and rehabilitation of infrastructures.

Arrange timetables to rebuild for whole Syria, the fourteens Syrian governates, and suburbs and secure full requirement for each, including machinery needed for the stage of ruins removal .and rehabilitation of ports and seaports. Appendix 17

7.    Introduction of Supportive technologies.

These technologies should be considered as part of the rebuild, as it reduces the final costs. The materials of ruins recycled to be used in sub-base of roads, which protects agricultural lands from the harmful ruins. Also the technology of epoxy injection of structural micro cracks in damaged buildings, and other named technologies in appendixes 4,5,13.

8.    Planning for new residence suburbs.

The new suburbs, contain great investment chances, planed in preserved environment and advanced modern style, solving all traffic difficulties, securing sufficient parking areas and green land. The plan will reveal of the great number of buildings we are in need to build, using technologies that assures low cost, rapid execution and may use prefabricated buildings, also include rehabilitation of existing  pre fab and building materials factories. See appendixes 6, 7, 8, 13, 18.

9. Count the manpower available and ready to work, classify and arrange, and create chances for employment.

The ordinary and professional labours are both available in Syria, Some departed Syria. Most of them eager to come back home, as proper conditions such as security, and appropriate house are secured. A bank of manpower is essential to count, classify the manpower and offering the chance to incorporate them in the building process. 

10. Local building materials in Syria.

All buildings in Syria are of reinforced concrete, most of them cast in situ, only small percentage is of precast concrete, the appendix 10,  gives important information to Arab and foreign donors about the building materials used in Syria, also about local production , and the volume of imported building materials, and their specifications. referring that, the country was working at very low profile, and now we have determination to change to work  at higher profile, this appendix contain also a quick order of steel reinforcement, and steel section needed first day when rebuilding begins.

 11.   Educational programs to incorporate people in the re- housing process

Most of our labour comes from suburbs around big cities, these suburbs suffered severely, and their houses are damaged, may be some educations to labour help them to carry out some of the repair work by themselves, some of those labour have already good education. See appendixes 9, 16.

a-   Flow of executing reinforced concrete buildings works.

b – Finishing workshops, building walls, and price analysis.

c – Tiling of floors (example of education in erection of tile and price and analysis).

d- Flow of finishing works of buildings.

12.    Simplified manual to strengthen simple deteriorated structural elements.

This will deal with simple strengthening of simple damages in structural elements, such as beams, slabs and columns. Some typical damages will be designed by professionals, and sent to all centers to be used when similar defect is met.

13.    Safety procedures to demolish severely deteriorated buildings.

Demolition and ruins removal should be carried out carefully; this was explained through a virtual example of a building, parts of it suffered severe damage, the rest seemed to be sound. Appendix 14
