Abuharris, A and Ruddock, L (2005) Land-use planning and sustainable tourism development in Libya. In: Khosrowshahi, F (ed.) Proceedings of 21st Annual ARCOM Conference, 7-9 September 2005, London, UK.
Abstract
Libya possesses vast supplies of undeveloped land with enormous potential for various sectors' development. Recently Libya has decided to develop the tourism sector to enhance the national economy, which for so many years has been bolstered by the oil industry. The huge space of undeveloped land can be exploited in broadening the base of tourism development in terms of new construction work and new or refurbishment of facilities to meet the requirements of the international tourism markets. The paper is going to discuss two major issues: First, the state's role in facilitating the regulations both in terms of land use, financial support and other related aspects as well as the essential implications needed to encourage both local and foreign investors to invest in tourism-related services. Second, a SWOT analysis for Libya as a tourist destination and development proposals for the essential prerequisites needed for the development of the Libya's tourism resources will be presented.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
