The effect of transportation methods on the spatial distribution of construction industries in Al-Qadisiyah Governorate

Abstract

The issue of transportation is a complex issue because it is related to the availability of transportation, its adequacy, efficiency, and flexibility. The selection of the most appropriate location in which the transportation cost is lower reflects the possibility of achieving economic savings. The industrial location, which is characterized by fast and efficient transportation, is preferred over other locations, given that transportation does not It affects not only the transport of raw materials and manufactured goods, but also the work and the transfer of fuel and energy sources, as well as the transfer of industry requirements in general, and accordingly, the network of transport routes is the link between the various factors of production in their types and locations, and here emerges the crucial role of transport in redistributing The requirements of industry and their provision in the regions and industrial sites where these requirements do not exist in an appropriate manner and create a relationship between the areas of production and consumption, so the industrial projects seek to concentrate in areas where there is a good road network and easy access. It became clear from the research that transportation costs in Al-Qadisiyah governorate vary between industrial sites at the level of the industrial branch, as many factors contribute to highlighting this discrepancy, the most important of which are proximity and distance from the raw material, energy sources, the proximity of the industrial site to the local market, as well as its distance from the labor force. . As the percentage of transportation costs in the industrial site in Al-Diwaniyah district in the manufacture of ready-made concrete, bricks, blocks, and stickers decreases, as it reaches (14%, 14.5%, 14.5%, 15%), and this percentage rises to reach the highest in the cashi industry, as it reaches (22.5). In the Shamiya district, the percentage of transportation costs amounted to (18.5%, 16%, 14%, 14%, 16%) in the manufacture of bricks, plaster, blocks, stickers, and concrete, respectively. While the percentage of transportation in the industrial site in the district of Hamza reached (15.5%, 15.5%, 14%, 15%) in the manufacture of bricks, blocks, stickers, and concrete, respectively, while the percentage of transportation in the industrial site in the district of Afak was (16%, 15%, 16 % ) in the block, sticker, and concrete industries, respectively.
