Moataz Mohamed Tarshan KAU, Jeddah, KSA Assiut University, Assiut, Egypt 3-6 January 2010 , Riyadh , KSA Slide 26of 28 5- Discussion: Results and Research Attainments In this paper, it was argued that there would be no single best way to achieve ST due to the varyingconditions(adopting the concept of 'thinkgloballyandactlocally‘). The paper managed to induce a taxonomy of ST attributes, as they were derived from the literature, to fall into 11 key-attributes. The paper argued that achieving one attribute of ST would influence and be influenced by achieving otherattributes. The in-depth analysis showed ST attributes to have various relativeweights due to the various correlation values (from +78 to -21) they have. 1- Introduction Motivation - Methods 2- Sustainable Trans.

Moataz Mohamed Tarshan KAU, Jeddah, KSA Assiut University, Assiut, Egypt 3-6 January 2010 , Riyadh , KSA Slide 27of 28 5- Discussion: Results and Research Attainments The analysis showed that more dependence on publictransportation together with the restrictedcarmovement can be considered the most influential strategic direction to support achieving ST. On the contrary, the excessiveparking areas is to maximizetransportationdemand; negatively influencing the achievement of ST. The paper managed to issue 24strategicdirections to achieve ST. After analyzing the GBED profile, strategicdirectionsto ST were integrated with the local context providing the research with a solid ground on which appropriateactions were proposed and a strategicplan was developed. 1- Introduction Motivation - Methods 2- Sustainable Trans.

39. ST theoretical perspectives and guiding principles were closely integrated together with the pressinglocalcontext of the GEBD.

40. As a result, a development strategicplan was proposed based on studying the application possibilities of 24STstrategicdirections.

41. In conclusion, the research appeared to bridge the gap between theory and practice in terms of investigating the potentials of ST as a theoretical issue, to develop an existing district with a relatively pressing local profile.1- Introduction Motivation - Methods 2- Sustainable Trans.
