Geographical Analysis of Climate Supplies of Summer Vegetables in The Dukan District
Sawen Hawez Hamad Amin, Mohammed Qader Rasool
Summer vegetables are one of the most important agricultural products, from food, health and economy for humans. Summer vegetables are under some factors of nature and humanity. Among the natural factors, climate is the most significant factor for growing and dividing agricultural products. The most important climate element is temperature, which has an effect on the quantity and quality of crops and other climate elements, directly and indirectly. The aim of this research is to indicate the efficiency of the climate for vegetables and their adaptation of the climate capacities in the study area. descriptive and analysis methods are used to describe significant kinds of summer vegetables with analysis of climate data during a study for thirty (30) years in the study area. And the comparative method is used to indicate these changes in the climate data that are effects on bringing forward and backward cultivation of crops. In the end, we have some results; the most significant are: Summer vegetables in the first stage of growing need more sunlight at rate (2% - 3%) compared to other stages. Each of the pepper, eggplant, and watermelon crops are not planted at the right time, so germination and growth are delayed in the study area, but each of the tomato, okra, and cucumber crops have their cultivated times convenient with climate supplies.

Hemn Hussein Ismael, Muhammed Qadr Rasul, Yadgar Mustafa Ibarhim, Pishtiwan Shafiq Ahmad
Climate change has recently shown signs of global warming due to increased human activities and burning of fossil fuels, which has led to increased concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs). Climate change has negative effects on the global climate generally and the Middle East and Iraq especially. Climate change also impacts on research areas by increasing temperatures and decreasing precipitation. This paper analyses time and direct temperature with the distribution of the yearly and seasons in Dukan district during research studies between (2003-2022). This research study attempts to answer these questions: is it a change in temperature in the study area? Is the change of temperature direction by increase or decrease? What are the factors for changes in temperature and distribution yearly and seasons in the region? The methodology of the research is using inductive and analysis with collecting data from the weather stations of the Dukan area using (SPSS, ArcGIS, and Excel) to find the relationship between temperature and other elements of climate. The research got some results: changes in climate were increased during the study area in the maximum and minimum temperature and average temperature in the seasons and average years.

Fouad Khalid Saeed, Hemn Abdullah Wasta Ahmad
Urban solid waste is currently of great importance to the management of population areas (cities, towns, villages, temporary and seasonal settlements) in the world is constantly emphasized, the impact of this waste is clear on the tourism sector Isn't it reducing tourists? The aim of this research is to know the current management (collection, transportation and treatment) of waste in Dukan district and analyze the impact of this management (collection, transportation and treatment) on tourism in tourist attractions Administratively, it consists of six districts (Center, Khdran, Surdash, Khalkan, Piramagrun, Bangird). The method used in this study is descriptive analysis. The population of the district is constantly increasing Population activities include tourism, administrative activities, wholesale and retail trade and industrial services, small industries, two medium and one large food industries. Waste generally consists of: organic waste (food), plastic waste, glass waste, paper and cardboard waste. The Environmental Department of Dukan District Municipality is responsible for supervising this work. The work is contracted to Anzo Construction Company. It collects waste daily (except Fridays) from all sectors The total number of equipment used for collection and burial is 31. The amount of waste in the district is increasing. There is no separation of waste into sectors in this district (only waste). Their doctors have special furnaces inside the hospitals and they burn the necessary amount of medical waste. The average daily collection of waste is 79.272 tons/day, which is 1.147 kg per person Waste, obviously remaining in one place and not collecting solid waste pollutes the environment, causes air pollution and visual pollution, on the other hand spreads an unpleasant smell in the place If the company does not know, the company has set up mobile numbers for the employees and the administration of the tourist areas to call them and go directly to collect the waste. These are all reasons for the tourist areas to remain clean Travel Choose this area, the negative impact of waste transportation on the tourism sector is observed, because capsule vehicles are used to collect and transport waste, directly cover the waste and suppress the smell (to a large extent). The reason for the spread of smell and spillage of water on the streets (the administration of tourist areas have been notified in this case, I will work to minimize the mixing of water with waste). The only solution is to bury the waste underground in an area very close to the tourist center of the district, on the one hand creates problems for the soil and water of the area In the past, this has happened only once. Municipal inspectors continuously monitor (collection, transportation and treatment of waste) according to municipal guidelines. Any violation of improper collection or transportation or treatment according to guidelines It is close to 3 million Iraqi dinars, which is no less than 2 million in total and much more than the previous company.

Hemn Hussen Mohammed, Hemn Hussein Ismael, Shapol Bahmen Rashid
Cartographic representation is essential for each field of geography science, but representation of elements of climate is more important; therefore, we cannot see some climate elements, but we can feel them. We can see and determine the spatial differences for all elements of the climate on the map and in the cartographical representation. Also, this study is important because cartography and maps are essential for illustrating climate conditions in the study area. To reach an accurate result in our research, we relied on the representation elements of climate in the study area, as well as the use of an analysis method and use (ArcGIS) for representation, and created maps in the Dukan district. In the end, we have reached some results; that is, some of them are: the best way to represent and create maps for elements of climate is to use equal lines, like drawing isobars, isotherms, isohyets, and colour hierarchy. In conclusion, we reach that there are significant differences between winter and summer months in all climate elements in the study region, but the differences between spring and autumn months are smaller and more moderate in all climate elements.
