The research methodology was by identifying a location near the school and then applying the activities of the GLOBE protocols to measure and observed both the vegetation affected using google earth and in addition to observing and measuring the soil layers using the soil protocol
She indicated
The research results show that there is a clear effect of throwing construction and demolishing waste on the ground cover through decreasing number of trees, spread of environmental pollution, distortion of the landscape, and rodent and insect breeding.
There is also a layer of earth layers that are considered to be land residues through the soil protocol.
Our recommendations through this research are to allocate a site for receiving and treating construction and demolition waste in the various governorates of the Sultanate, launching small crushers to recycle this type of waste with a view to recovering value from materials that were used in construction and demolition, and in coordination with the relevant authorities to activate the legislative and regulatory sides
