Military Compound, no risks were identified in terms of settlement within the
borders of the NAR Project areas. The elevation, altitude and façade analyses
through the use of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) are displayed in
Figure 2. The elevation analysis reveals that the area largely has 0-6 (flat) and
6-15 (medium) degree elevations. A small area southwest to the project area
contains extremely steep 20-20+ (steep) elevations. Thus, altitudes range from
120 m to 155 m. The façade analysis reveals that the main directions of wind in
the area are in the direction of northwest, north, south, and west.
