The paper presents authors search and experiments with methods of extending beyond basic content to fruitful discussions and evoking interest and enthusiasm in the students, to find immersive educational methods in the new situation.

The conflict in Syria has entered its tenth year with no political solution in sight. The Syrian crisis is considered as one of the largest and most destructive contemporary humanitarian crises in the world with triple crises: conflict, climate change and covid-19 pandemic. The conflict has left very large economic and social damages, destroyed infrastructure and a sharp contraction in the national economy and created the largest humanitarian refugee crisis in the modern world. According to Filippo Grandi, the UN-High Commissioner for Refugees “Syria is the biggest humanitarian and refugee crisis of our time, a continuing cause of suffering for millions which should be garnering a groundswell of support around the world” (UNHCR, 2021). According to the United Nations, more than 6 million Syrians
have been displaced within the country, while more than 5,6 million people have fled Syria
as refugees since 2011, seeking safety in other countries, especially Lebanon, Turkey,
Jordan and beyond (UNHCR, 2021). It is estimated that the conflict has claimed over
400,000 lives since 2011 (Human Rights Watch, 2021). About 2 million wounded, a large
percentage of them disabled (each dead corresponds to 5 wounded). An estimated 11
million people need humanitarian assistance and more than half of the population remains
displaced from their homes - including 5.5 million refugees living in neighboring countries
and another 6 million internally displaced inside Syria. Women and children comprise more
than half of those displaced (USA for UNHCR, 2021).
Sustainable Master Plans of Cities
Case study Lattakia-Syria.
The Master Plans are one of the main tools for sustainable urban development to
counter the effects of growing urbanization in the cities. But, at the same time, the process
of its preparing is the challenge to those concerned, especially in the absence of standards
that embody the principles of urban sustainable. So, research started from the issue of
developing contemporary standards for preparing a sustainable master plan that achieves
the terms of Sustainability, and it adopted a reference study about the terminology and
theoretical concepts related to sustainable urban development, principles and sustainable
master plan and its objectives and areas of work. It adopted the International Planning
Standards adopted by various countries and international organizations specialized in
preparing Master Plans that contribute in creating more sustainable cities.
In the case of Latakia, it was found that the Master Plan, which was prepared in 2008
according to the Proposed Schematic Program for land uses, achieves only (51%) of the
conditions of sustainability; this figure does not meet the needs of Lattakia in the short
term and long term; it is also clear that the administrative side of the planning operation is
the main reasons that led to the unsuccessful master plan; in other words, the work,
according to the traditional planning standards and the limited laws and legislations, is not
enough, but must be accompanied by action planning and contemporary administrative
standards based on urban sustainability.
Cette recherche fournit également une image riche des conditions de développement et des défis, et permet aux décideurs politiques et directeurs à tous les niveaux de voir les données détaillées des indicateurs et les nuances des conditions de développement entre les gouvernorats syriens, notamment celles des provinces les plus démunies.
Elle contribue à penser de manière intégrée (multidisciplinaire) à l'élaboration des politiques et plans de développement futur et de déterminer les objectifs de développement en conformité avec des indicateurs spécifiques à chaque province. Il ne s’agit pas ici de répertorier les composantes des plans et les programmes antérieurs de développement, mais la recherche d'outils et des méthodes de planification qui nécessitent de s’y concentrer pour les besoins de modernisation, d’évolution et le processus de développement équilibré et durable en Syrie.
