التوزيع الجغرافي لمعامل صناعة البلاستيك والنايلون في قضاء بعقوبة

Abstract

This study focuses on the spatial analysis of the plastic and nylon industries in Baqubah District. It aims to determine the quantity of production and the actual demand for plastic and nylon products, as well as to address the obstacles and problems facing the plastic pipe manufacturing industry in Baqubah District. The study also examines the extent to which modern methods and technologies contribute to improving the quality and quantity of local production. Furthermore, the research highlights population growth and its direct relationship with the increasing demand for these products, which have become integral to various aspects of life, including residential, educational, professional, and other sectors. It also addresses the relatively limited environmental impact of these materials following increased attention to environmental issues and the adoption of appropriate solutions, including the possibility of safe and healthy recycling methods, as applied in many countries worldwide. The research problem is formulated through the following questions: Is there spatial variation in the geographical distribution of plastic manufacturing industries in Baqubah District? Is the distribution regular or random? What are the main geographical determinants of this industry, and what are the most significant challenges it faces?

One of the key conclusions of the study is the noticeable decrease in imports, as local production has increasingly become sufficient to meet the needs within the district.
