Spatial Variation of Land Prices and Rents in the City of Derna - A Study in Urban Geography

Abstract

The study aimed to analyze the spatial variation of the prices of lands and rents and the reasons for this contrast in the city of Derna, and to shed light on prices and lands and rents and clarify the impact of geographical factors and then explain the impact of these prices on the uses of the earth, the study relied in the first degree on the questionnaire and the field study in the process of drawing information and data. The paper has concluded that the easy access factor and the presence of roads and transportation have an impact on the prices of land and real estate, as the neighborhoods that are easy to reach and which are located on the main streets are characterized by the highest prices. Like the lands located in the neighborhoods of (gardens, Zawia bin Isa, Al -Rifai, Boumansur and Al -Aqari). And that the lower neighborhoods are the neighborhoods that are used in housing in the first place, as there are no manifestations of commercial use, for example, alive (Al -Futuna, the loan of loans, and the smoothness of the buildings). The study also showed the existence of a link between the availability of services and the high prices of lands, as it reached its highest levels in the neighborhoods with full services, while the lowest prices in those neighborhoods that lack the service ingredients.  . The study showed the validity of the hypothesis that there is a place in the prices and rents of residential land in the city of Derna. The safety factor has a very big role in determining the values ​​of land and residential buildings, so we find the relationship between the security element and the price of the land and the buildings is a direct relationship. This was clearly shown through the questionnaire in the Al -Ghafala neighborhood, as well as in the Alexander neighborhood, the neighborhood of its yellow and red peoples, in neighborhoods of the Al -Fatah and Al -Zintan district, and in the neighborhood of Sayeda Zeinab in Wadi Al -Naqa in the study area, where riots and theft abound, so we find the residents in those areas that are not safe and have become a displaced neighborhood of the population in the area.
