تحليل جغرافي لتجزئة الوحدات السكنية في مدينة داقوق لعام 2025

Abstract

   The phenomenon of residential unit fragmentation has emerged in recent years as a significant urban issue driven by multiple factors, most notably the housing crisis, rising rental costs, inheritance and property subdivision, real estate speculation, and the increase in household size. This phenomenon poses a clear challenge to the urban housing structure due to rising population density, which in turn exerts pressure on services and reduces their efficiency. Fragmented housing units contribute to the deterioration of the urban environment in the city, primarily due to increased overcrowding and household congestion within residential units. This leads to intensified pressure on infrastructure services, in addition to increased noise levels and environmental pollution. The spread of this phenomenon has become increasingly evident in Daquq, where the number of fragmented housing units has reached approximately (827) units, varying across residential neighborhoods. The highest proportion was recorded in Ishti neighborhood at (14.3%), while the lowest was in Fariq Awa neighborhood at (1.2%) of the total residential neighborhoods. Accordingly, this phenomenon has attracted considerable attention from researchers. The contribution of geographers to the study of residential unit fragmentation is particularly important, as it helps reveal the scale of fragmented units and their spatial distribution.
