Based on the meticulous analysis that has been done for each component of the study, the
development opportunities, constraints, challenges and problems, and initial strategies
and project ideas have been identified. These are strengthened with plausible
recommendations and some conclusive remarks within the scientific understanding of the
dynamic process of Master Planning of integrated resources development.
A comprehensive database together with a wide range of attribute maps, which are
necessary for the Master Plan preparation are made available, stored, scientifically
organized and documented, and in addition availed in a standard report prepared for the
sectoral studies.
The phase II study has been concluded by recommending and/or proposing or strongly
putting conclusive remarks with descriptions and statements resulting from the
comprehensive assessment and detailed investigation and analysis of the physical, social
and environmental status of the study area.
Accordingly, the phase II study has enabled the study group to prepare a phase II report,
where it has put description and statements of issues, procedures, ideas and recommended
propositions, which include among others, the following important items:
