Identification of the most important factors affecting the quality of building techniques compatible with the environment (traditional bricks) using the method (factor analysis) in the city of Erbil

Abstract

Environmentally friendly building techniques are a storehouse of generational
experiences and a compendium of their expertise in dealing with local
environmental materials to meet their physical and spiritual needs. These
traditional methods have been influenced by many factors that have increased
their quality and suitability for use over many centuries.
The methods of factor analysis are statistical methods to identify and analyze the
multiple variables used in the research and interpretation of correlation
coefficients of statistical significance of different variables and to reach the
common factors that describe the common relationship between these variables.The research aims to identify the most important factors affecting the success of
housing using environmentally friendly building methods (traditional bricks) in the
city of Erbil through the use of factor analysis (the main factor method).
The problem of research in the study of the most important factors affecting the
building techniques compatible with the environment (traditional brick), which was
dispensed after the entry of modern building materials.
The research adopted the method of factor analysis in the analysis and evaluation
of factors affecting environmentally friendly building techniques (traditional
bricks) and the interpretation of correlation coefficients in order to derive the
common factors that classify the relationship between these variables and
interpretation.
The researcher highlighted the environmental and economic characteristics of
building with local materials and traditional building methods, traditional bricks
and reuse them with modern engineering designs. Green and revitalizing
environmentally friendly construction techniques in Erbil.
