Impact of Structural Imbalances on the Sustainability of Spatial Development Programs

Abstract

Iraq suffers From the problem of structural imbalances of the components of the economic spatial structure, and led to obstacles to the spatial development programs and their financial allocation spatially and sectorally. Therefore, the research problem (structural imbalances between resources and uses without building a multi-resource system despite the economic possibilities and opportunities available in the spatial dimension). The research aims to study and analyze structural imbalances and their indicators in the spatial structure in Iraq, and its impact on the sustainability of development spatially and sectorally and access to development paths to ensure the achievement of Spatial development goals. The research hypothesis (there is a relationship between the direction of the development path spatially and sectorally and the treatment of structural imbalances of spatial dimension leading to the sustainability of spatial development programs). The research includes study the concept of structural imbalances and spatial development, and the study of the indicators of spatial and sectoral imbalance in Iraq The magnitude of this imbalance is measured by a mathematical equation and at two level) sectoral level and spatial level). while included the last part proposing a development path to address these structural imbalances, which can lead to a kind of balancing resources and uses to achieve The goal of sustaining spatial development programs spatially and sectorally. The research important conclusions that there large complex imbalances that are far from rate normal, the important recommendations are to follow inclusive development approach.
