I spoke at the beginning of the case study generally about air pollution, which surrounded the area and a private garden known in Abu Dhabi as one garden of BaniYas. I met a lot of people for a discussion about the causes of this pollution, and each one had a different opinion.

For example, Khalid spoke about the importance of creating paintings in the park to educate people to keep the place , and he said the reason for the spread of pollution is the lack of these paintings in the garden, while someone named Ali , said that the cause of pollution is the lack of plants working to purify the air, and urged to take advantage of large tracts in the cultivation of a lot of trees. Also us a group of other , said that the reason for pollution is the  barbecues inside the park, which leave pollutants after the completion.
The park is already an important place for fun and relaxation for families and friends; many of them spend it playing with children and some of them spend it walking, playing sports, and some of them meet with colleagues to spend the most beautiful times.



BaniYas park, established in the city of BaniYas South Wathba in Abu Dhabi, one of the largest and oldest parks in the UAE, and this is some information about it:
Company name: BaniYas park, Address: Abu Dhabi,
Park Location: Abu Dhabi - Al Ain Road, BaniYas East 12.

Park facilities: 1 Fountain  Restaurant, regular games  Mosque  rest rooms.
Phone Number: 02-5831566 .

BaniYas garden is famous  one of the oldest and largest parks in the country. I went to it with my family since my childhood, and now I visit it with my friends, especially in the holidays.
This park has improved dramatically; the games have become varied once are many established restaurants, shops.


Restaurants include the most beautiful and delicious meals, as each restaurant is dedicated to create meals such as fast food , snacks , diverse juices, in addition to the markets, which include the most beautiful desserts like ice cream for children .
Also it has a large area available for walking, sports and contains a large pool for young people who are using it more and enjoy, especially in the summer. Characterized by congestion as a result of the multiplicity of the races that are visiting this park and it is now open at 5 pm and closes at around 10 pm.

As a result of this comparison between past and present, I believe that the developments are the cause of pollution in this park.
Rather than take advantage of this development, they are using it wrongly.
I have conducted numerous interviews with visitors; my goal in these interviews is to know negatives and real to this park and then I think about how to  relive the gardens vitality, and attract the large number of tourists as before.
After that I tried to communicate with the government to put the fines for those who pollute the place, and I distributed entries for guidance include how to maintain the garden, I do not advise to make a barbecue in the garden; in addition we must provide equipment in restaurants for retention the pollution rising from the smoke and provision of waste baskets.


Many of the proposals I discussed with you, and I left it to you, so I hope you help me in finding other solutions to stop this pollution, because it is our country and our right to maintain and keep it clean.
