Integrated Environmental Assessment of Forest Ecosystems in Suwayda Governorate and Proposal of Portfolio of Initiatives for its Conservation, Restoration and Protection
The present study includes an integrated scientific assessment of the social-forestry ecosystems in As-Suwayda Governorate, based on the Driver Pressure State Impact Response integrated assessment methodology. The ecosystems are currently under stress resulting from numerous pressures that led to drastic changes in its state and quality, and consequently the services provided to the community.
Throughout this assessment, a carefully analysis the drivers and pressures that are impacting the ecosystems during the period of 2011-2023 and their impacts on the forest-social ecosystems. To this aim, asset of indicators has been assessed based on data and information available at system's stakeholders in order to identify their impacts on the social-forestry ecosystems.
As a result of the assessment, numbers of points of intervention are suggested as responses that would facilitate the application of an adaptive strategic management plan to maintain and restore social forestry systems in As-Suwayda Governorate that helps to develop an integrated joint action plan to meet the needs of stakeholders and identify gaps and weak points and restore them to achieve the sustainability of ecosystem services and their restoration.
In the third chapter, an adaptive strategic management plan is proposed based on the assessment study of the case, to achieve sustainable management of the social-forestry ecosystems in As-Suwayda.
This plan is a model that can be replicated at levels beyond the governorate in the country or in similar systems.

Evaluating the Suitability of Amrit ecosystem as Marine Protected Area, and its Vulnerability to Climate Change
The study aims to know the relationship between the level of self-awareness and the level of ambition, and to know the differences in the level of ambition and the level of self-awareness according to the variable of gender and academic year among a sample of English language students at the University of Aleppo.
The study was applied to a random sample consisting of (100) English language students from the first and fourth years, with a total of 59 males and 41 females for the sample as a whole (28) male students and (22) female students for the first year and (31) male students and (19) female students for the fourth year.
The results concluded with the following: the level of ambition and the level of self-awareness were less than the arithmetic average of the total sample, and there was no statistically significant relationship between the level of ambition and the level of self-awareness of the study sample, and there were no statistically significant differences in the level of self awareness due to the gender variable. For first-year students, while differences were found in the fourth year in favor of males. While there are no differences in the level of ambition for first-year and fourth-year students according to the gender variable, and there are differences in the level of self-awareness and the level of ambition due to the variable of the year of study in favor of fourth-year students

Development of a framework of Integrated management of coastal ecosystems in Amrit and its surrounding - Tartus
The aim of this study is to present and develope an integrated management system, to properly and effectively manage these ecosystems and to declare it as a “protected natural-socio-cultural area,”.
To achieve that, this study presents a description of the environmental, social and cultural heritage systems in Amrit, and carries out an integrated evaluation and assessment method /DPSIR approach/ that deals with the state of social and ecological systems, the pressures they suffer from, the impacts of these pressures and identify possible responses. Together with a monetary assessment of the economic values of these ecological systems services depending on comparison with similar references.
In order to apply sustainable management with a clear vision that seeks to reach a diverse and sustainable coast , the study elaborates also on the Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) process mechanism, which was prepared by the Priority Actions Programme Regional Activity Centre (PAP/RAC), and the mechanisms of stakeholders mapping who could participate in the management process.
To make this vision achievable, strategic goals have been set which can include future qualitative policies, action plans and executive programs aimed to preserving the natural ecosystems and cultural and social heritage in the region .
The study contributes to highlighting and underlying the importance of using scientific modern models and methods to identify and evaluate coastal ecosystems and coastal cultural heritage, which consider the basis for developing an integrated coastal zone management plan.
The evaluation methods can be used to develop integrated management systems in other regions, taking into account their specificity of the social and environmental systems.إعداد: الطالبة رولا جبور

Evaluation of Syriatel's participation in the national effort to protect the environment and public health
The research will review the policy and strategy of a Syrian private company - "Syriatel" – in protecting the environment and review its programs to maintain the health and safety of employees and ensure their participation in the national effort to protect environmental systems. The research will also evaluate the procedures followed by the company by analyzing the consistency of policy modeling in relation to the environmental law and the labor law, and analyzing the results to reveal the gaps that can be worked on, their causes, and recommendations for obtaining better results at the level of different sectors. In addition, this research can be considered as an example that can be applied, after adapting it to the case of the beneficiary companies. This research will result in many recommendations and guidelines based on reference studies and what has been studied in the case of Syriatel, to be used by stakeholders, whether companies, researchers in the environmental field, or legislative bodies such as ministries and directorates in the country. This project will provide important results that can be used by Syrian companies to advance environmental thinking and direct activities towards preserving a sustainable environment that benefits companies on the one hand and public health on the other.

Evaluation of plant biodiversity and its importance to the local community in recently burned forest ecosystems in the coastal region of Syria
This study was conducted during the spring of 2023 at the site of Ql Boor in the Qardaha region (Lattakia governorate), part of which was subjected to a fire in the year 2020. The study aimed to assess the plant biodiversity in its various forms in the newly burned coniferous forests, and to determine the social benefit of these systems through the identification of services Provided by the plant species present in it to the local community and identifying its various uses.
10 square samples were taken, each area of 100 m2 , 5 of which are in the burned part of the site and 5 others in the unburnt part. Plant surveys were carried out using the Brown-Blanque method, where the existing species, their coverage, life form, method of propagation, and their uses were recorded. The averages of the indicators of structural plant diversity (specific richness, Shannon index) and functional (life forms, propagation patterns) and uses were calculated, and compared statistically between the two studied parts. using the Mann-Whitney test.
The results showed a significant (p<0.05) superiority of the burnt part over the unburned part with indicators of specific richness, Shannon's index, and the number of herbaceous species spread by wind, pressure, and by animals from the outside. (P<0.05) On the other hand, the percentage of similarity between burnt and unburned parts, calculated using Sorenson's index, did not exceed 51.7% for species and 73.3% for families.
The study showed the importance of newly burned forest sites in terms of biodiversity and its uses, which enables it to play an important role in the ecosystem on the one hand, and the life of the local population on the other hand.
