| Abstract | ||
| Natural controllers have a clear effect in determining the course of transportation traffic within one region or within other neighboring regions. Natural controllers or determinants , exemplified by spatial characteristics have gained supreme importance in geographical research in general , and transportation geography in particular. These determinants are reflections of the geographical location in all its dimensions, thus their persistence and relative stability . This disparity enables us to study the relation between the river course ( of river transportation under study) and the natural determinants , single or combined , and the latter's effect in determining the failure or success of this type of transportation . This sector of transportation is included within the economic , service and productive projects. Thus , the study is divided as follows: 1- Natural controllers or determinants , represented by the phenomena that determine the validity of the river for navigation . 2- The topography of the river course and its relation to river transportation. 3- Studying the hindrance imposed by natural determinants on river navigation. 4- The potentials of using the river Tigris to solve the transportation problem in Baghdad. | ||
