Possibility of overcoming obstacles to adopt sustainable practices of road paving layers in Iraq
It is evident that there is an increasing need, day by day, to adopt sustainable practices due to the increasing volume of harmful impacts on the environment, especially in the transportation sector. The situation in Iraq is very clear because of the complete dependence on vehicles in the process of transporting and shipping goods due to the absence of alternatives. The previous literature on the importance of sustainable practices in improving the properties and specifications of roads has been studied, and then the current reality of roads in Iraq has been explained. In the last part, a questionnaire was conducted to clarify the obstacles that impede the use of these sustainable practices, and the reasons were reached. The study concluded that addressing this growing problem begins through education and cultural development of society by all concerned parties while supporting research. The planning process should include finding all special instructions and regulations that affect the safety of the environment, such as granting building or import permits, or in the field of agriculture and industry to serve these practices. The adoption of sustainable practices must meet the local circumstance represented in the behavior, culture and economy of the population community as well as the geographical location and climate of such environment.
