SITE ANALYSIS LOCATION The lowest percentage of density index in the Qatran district is 4 km2.

This is due to its large area and the small number of population centers in it due to its distance from the city.

The center of the governorate, due to its dry climate conditions in winter and hot summer, which is reflected in the density of the road network.

A Study has been done to determine the Overcrowded spot in each area in the governorate . Each spot considers a node, and it was observed that the sultanic dam considers to have a high level of difficulty in accessing, leading to it being isolated and left off, because of its distance far off the other stations.

SITE ANALYSIS LOCATION The cities of al karak connectivity differ from one place to another: • The Southern Mazar District : 40% • The Faqou` District: 66% • The rest of the brigades: 42% - 50% Why: • Because of the 2 lands having the same topography.

• They share the same economic and demographic characteristics.

There is a proportional matching between: •the number of lines or routes in the network • the number of stations or villages that are located on this network in the various districts of the governorate, especially in the Faqu' District.

Meaning: All stations in cities on this network are connected to at least one or more lines, that if any line of that network is removed, it will not lead to a disconnection

SITE ANALYSIS LOCATION Government Area: 2.8% from the total area of Jordan, which amounts to approximately 2,2701 km2.

What Increased the importance of Al Karak: Is the road traffic area in the desert area, which connects 289,318 km.

The Desert Road connects: The northern governorates in the southern governorates in the eastern side of the governorate, as well as the passage of the road The Jordan Valley connects: The north and south of the Kingdom in the western side of the governorate.

GOALS & OBJECTIVES

Safety: A station building must be safe for the commuters, employees, and other visitors. The passenger flow through the station and their pattern of approaching the place and boarding and alighting from the train should be studied minutely.

Functionality: The design should focus on solving two spatial issues: ‘barrier effect’ and ‘functional mix layout’, as these issues seem to be quite relevant for the success of the station building and its surroundings.

Energy efficiency: To design a smarter station in terms of lighting and ventilation, energy efficiency should be considered.

Shopping: Many railway stations have shopping centers that offer a variety of products and services.

This can include everything from clothing stores to restaurants.
