Abstract
Over the past ten years, the Gaza Strip has witnessed several wars that resulted in vast
quantities of rubble and debris. Therefore, authority-affiliated institutions have worked
on the disposal of these quantities through recycling.
This studyaimed to evaluate the recycling operations which have been carried out in the
Gaza Strip through identifying the framework adopted, finding whether there are
regulations for managing and reusing the rubble, as well as identifying the strategies
adopted in processing the rubble and specifying essential requirements for the recycling
process.
Regarding the study approach, both the analytic and descriptive approaches have been
applied to the results of interviewing a sample of 17 specialists in recycling from
governmental bodies and international institutions.
The results of the study indicated that the Project outputs were compatible with the public
needs for the Gaza strip, that there is no framework for managing rubble recycling
operations in Gaza, and the available mechanisms are the result of accumulated
experience of the work of experts in governmental and international institutions, and the
requirements for rubble recycling process have included the availability of:
experience and technical capability, financial support, technical and environmental
regulations, advanced technology, proper market – determination of the required
concrete properties, and environmentally fitting place for work.
Among the study recommendations, Objectives must be predetermined and must include
economic aspiration, community and environment need. And basically, sustainability
objectives must be sated (present and future objectives)
