Abstract

 (AL- Sarray neighborhood as example)  Measuring urban decay in Baqubah city:

The paper applies a technique that quantitatively measure building's physical decay. The technique depends entirely on field observation, inside and outside the building, using penalty points for each indicator, summing up the total points for the building in order to calculate the average for the enumeration district. Then classify E.D.s to groups according to their similarities and variation. The overall map of such groups could be used to designate housing policy in the study area.

The idea of measuring it depend on paper published by prof M.K. Omar Presented to crumbling urban indicators then put a formula to determine the value of that building decay.
