The Economic Components Affecting the Distribution of Construction Industries in the Province of Najaf: An Extracted Research from a Master's Thesis

Abstract

The natural and human components cannot be sufficient for the development of industrial activity unless accompanied by the availability of capabilities or economic components, which in turn prepare the industry for raw materials, capital, market, transportation, energy and fuel sources. The human being is in the establishment of the industrial activity, but this requires him to prepare other economic components, whether they are needed by this industrial activity directly or are used in the service needs accompanying the industrial activity indirectly. One can discuss the economic components in the Najaf governorate in some detail and explain their impact and role in the establishment and development of the industry . These components were embodied in the raw material, market, transportation methods, capital, energy sources, fuel, land and government policy.

     The study reached a number of conclusions, most notably:

1. The study area possesses the components of theconstruction industry , in terms of raw materials that are abundantly available and which are considered the basis for the establishment of this industry, such as gravel, sand and gypsum stones.


2. Thepossibility of benefiting from loans and grants granted by the Industrial Bank and the rest of the other banks in developing and expanding existing industries or establishing new facilities in the future.


3. The study area enjoys a large market, whether internal ( local) or external, which is represented in the governorate of Qadisiyah in the first place, then the governorates of Babylon and Karbala, and these markets are able to absorb construction products.


4. The governorate market suffers from a large number of imported construction goods, especially bricks, cement, alabaster and ceramics, most of which are imported from Iran in the first place and Turkeysecondly.


5. The governorate enjoys a good network of transportation routes, whether main or secondary, and this helped to transfer raw materials to industries or transportproducts, and this provides good flexibility in creating new markets for the disposal of products for these industries.
