Abstract
Rapid urbanization dramatically increases the demand for land that requires planning and zoning which allow the authorities to achieve safe, manageable and sustainable construction expansions. Geozoning represents an effective way of summarizing surface and subsurface land stability that can be used for setting out regulations for construction purposes. We present here a preliminary geozoning survey of Al Ain city as a first stage to build-up a database which divides the city into several stability zones.
