Analysis of infrastructure networks in Aswan city using geomatics applications

The various sectors of infrastructure have emerged to meet the needs of the population and provide facilities, to the extent that their efficiency and adequacy have become a standard for differentiation between urban areas based on quality of life. Geographers have discovered the impact of social factors on urban organization, shaping their internal systems. Consequently, modern geographical studies have focused on social issues, evaluating state services, social policies, and their ability to provide and organize these services. Geographic attention to services is an important factor in their effectiveness and a key determinant of individual benefits from them.

This focus of study heavily revolves around identifying and selecting the most suitable location for a service. The growth and distribution of services within a city depend on the size of the population benefiting from these services, the available investments for their construction, and the regulatory capacity of the state and local administration to distribute and manage these services in accordance with the general standards and rates of the country, as well as the regulatory standards and rates of regional and global services.

The term "infrastructure" is commonly used in planning and development to refer to the underground and aboveground networks, and it represents a vital necessity for the population. The infrastructure sector can be considered one of the most important indicators of sustainable urban development, particularly due to its clear impact on economic and social development within cities.
