Abstract

In the last two decades, massive artificial islands had been constructed intensively in the middle east as mega urban developments. This research investigate the negative environmental Impacts caused by the establishment of these massive artificial islands. These negative impacts will be investigated according to the morphology of design and during the construction of the artificial islands and the construction of the urban fabric above the surface. This thesis also aims to investigate guidelines of sustainable applications and strategies than can be adopted and implemented throughout the plan of work, including the design phase, the construction phase and the maintenance phase. In the purpose of encounter these negative impacts. This research is based on analytical analysis of secondary data and applied analysis of suggested guidelines through two case studies: Palm jeremiah and Amwaj Islands. Both artificial islands are pioneer examples of constructed man-made islands in the Arabian Gulf, different construction methods had been used in order to establish these islands and full environmental reports had been conducted before and during the construction. A comparative analysis is also conducted to observe and state the workability of these sustainable strategies and environmental applications
