Mina, Lebanon has very strong traditions and crafts that have been significant and present for decades. Due to Mina’s geographical location, it is heavily known for its fishing activities, which eventually lead to various stores and restaurants regarding this idea. Additionally, Mina has a very prominent culture in arts and crafts such as pottery, copper, and cloth making. These arts supported the city of Mina economically and socially for the years.

Many strengths are found in Al-Mina and many opportunities are present. Nevertheless, weaknesses and threats are still a part of this coastal city, making it more challenging for us to work with.

Increase the economy through exporting from the port
Provide work opportunities "
*'''From an Environmental Perspective''': ''(SDG: Clean Water, Good Health, Clean Energy, Responsible Consumption, Climate Action, Life Under Water, Life on land )''
Provide clean water to the citizens
Divide sewage water from the rain water runoff
Collect and filter the leachate from the landfill ‘
Generate energy from waste
''

== C.2 Spatial Strategy and Transect ==
Having different strategies, on different scales, allows us to understand more the coast, and it relationship to its surrounding. Possible areas of intervention are proposed, where the main aim is to restore the landscape, decrease erosion, and decrease pollution along the Mina coast.

== C.3 From Theory of Change to Implementation ==
*''Partnerships Needed: Mina Municipality, Tripoli Municipality, USAID, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Environment, Nurseries, Environmentalists, Water Specialists."
*Involvement: For a better project design and implementation, the local community needs to be involved in the working process through workshops, trainings and awareness campaigns."
*Resources: Research and studies on the previous and existing conditions of Mina to provide a clear futuristic plan of Mina. Research and studies to create an overall city strategy for a more sustainable and developed Mina.

= D. Process Reflection =
*''Mina has proven to be a challenge due to many stakeholders involved: projects need to be responding to everyone’s needs.
Mina Municipality wasn’t cooperative as much as we hoped, they are financially unable to implement any project.
40% of Mina families are under the line of poverty which leads them to be uninterested in implementing projects that don’t generate profit.
For a better outcome, the interaction with Mina residents and locals should be enhanced in order to understand their needs and use it for better projects ideas. ''

Moreover, the coast is accessible, where many fishermen come to this coast, and people access it to spend time. Our aim is to bring back this strong relationship between the people and the coast, and increase accessibility. in addition, taking care of the erosion at the coast by rehabilitating the area.''

=== Sacred spaces and heritage ===

Mina, Lebanon has very strong traditions and crafts that have been significant and present for decades. Due to Mina’s geographical location, it is heavily known for its fishing activities, which eventually lead to various stores and restaurants regarding this idea. Additionally, Mina has a very prominent culture in arts and crafts such as pottery, copper, and cloth making. These arts supported the city of Mina economically and socially for the years.

== A.3 Theory reflection ==
* ''Reflect on at least three international policy documents in relation to their local landscape case''
* ''choose one international, one European and one national document''
* ''You can choose references from our [[Reading_List_Coastal_Landscapes|reading list]]''
* ''Scope: 250 words''

== A.4 References ==
* ''give a full list of the references you have used for this section''

= Phase B: Landscape Evaluation and Assessment =
== B.1 Assessment Strategy ==
*''Based on the hypothesis derived from your previous landscape systems analysis you are now asked to define the goals for assessing the landscape. Your assessment is the basis for evaluating the landscape status.''
*''Which elements and phenomena need to be mapped, why and how?''
*''This a text contribution, max 250 words''

== B.2 Mapping ==
*''As defined by your assessment strategy you conduct the mapping and present your findings here''
*''As a minimum, at least three different themes need to be mapped, you may choose more if needed''

== B.3 Problem definition and priority setting ==
Many strengths are found in Al-Mina and many opportunities are present. Nevertheless, weaknesses and threats are still a part of this coastal city, making it more challenging for us to work with.

== B.4 Theory reflection ==
* ''Develop environmentally-resilient solutions that take into consideration the natural and man-made erosive factors, the sewage outlets, and the sensitive habitats of the coastal landscape

Enhance pedestrian accessibility and transportation along the promenade and the coastal road

Strengthen the city’s relationship to the seafront through re-envisioning the promenade and allowing public and inclusive accessibility to the coast

Utilize resources available in the coastal landscape for sustainable, economic development

CRITICAL REFLECTION
Limitations include:

Environmental degradation of the coastline

Poor condition of the current promenade

Socio-economic status of the population (majority: low-income)

Overpopulation of the city

=Phase C – Strategy and Master Plan =
== C.1 Goal Setting ==
*'''''From an Urban Morphology Perspective''': ''(SDG: Clean Water, Clean Energy, Industry and Infrastructure, Sustainability )''
Introduce green and blue infrastructure "
*'''From a Mobility Perspective''': ''(SDG: Sustainability)''
Provide good transportation system
Develop coastal road and pedestrian movement "
*'''From an Infrastructure and Economy Perspective''': ''(SDG: Economic Growth, Industry and Infrastructure, Life Under Water)''
Provide good roads
Increase the economy through exporting from the port
Provide work opportunities "
*'''From an Environmental Perspective''': ''(SDG: Clean Water, Good Health, Clean Energy, Responsible Consumption, Climate Action, Life Under Water, Life on land )''
Provide clean water to the citizens
Divide sewage water from the rain water runoff
Collect and filter the leachate from the landfill ‘
Generate energy from waste
''

== C.2 Spatial Strategy and Transect ==
Having different strategies, on different scales, allows us to understand more the coast, and it relationship to its surrounding. Possible areas of intervention are proposed, where the main aim is to restore the landscape, decrease erosion, and decrease pollution along the Mina coast.

== C.3 From Theory of Change to Implementation ==
*''Partnerships Needed: Mina Municipality, Tripoli Municipality, USAID, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Environment, Nurseries, Environmentalists, Water Specialists."
*Involvement: For a better project design and implementation, the local community needs to be involved in the working process through workshops, trainings and awareness campaigns."
*Resources: Research and studies on the previous and existing conditions of Mina to provide a clear futuristic plan of Mina. Research and studies to create an overall city strategy for a more sustainable and developed Mina.

= D. Process Reflection =
*''Mina has proven to be a challenge due to many stakeholders involved: projects need to be responding to everyone’s needs.
Mina Municipality wasn’t cooperative as much as we hoped, they are financially unable to implement any project.
40% of Mina families are under the line of poverty which leads them to be uninterested in implementing projects that don’t generate profit.
For a better outcome, the interaction with Mina residents and locals should be enhanced in order to understand their needs and use it for better projects ideas. ''
