Abstract
This study presents a guide for planners and airports land use commissions about incompatible land uses around public airports that can cause creation of hazards on air navigation and reductions in airport utilization resulting from obstructions to flight paths and incompatible land use resulting from construction near airport. The main target of this research is contributing in putting criteria and restrictions of land uses planning around international Airports (Case Study Marsa Alam International Airport) from Safety and Airspace Protection factors point of view. In this context, the description of land uses around Marsa Alam International Airport was according to the existing land use plan for the nearest urban area.The results of the applied case study showed that some land uses are incompatible with safety factor according to the applied criteria. For unused areas, permitted and prohibited land uses must be determined for each area relative to its location within safety zones. On the other hand, from airspace protection point of view, it was clearly found that height restrictions are necessary for land uses planning around airports and protection of aircraft in flight. Also, residential and other uses around airports must be compatible with airports and the airports approach/departure corridors as a condition of continuity and allowed uses.
