| Abstract | ||
| The solid waste is considered a separate environmental problem, since it leads to the pollution of the environment, if it is not recycled and reused. Qena Governorate in Upper Egypt, is one the most governorates exposed to the population increase problem, counterbalanced by income level, consequently it demands Urban Development in its desert back, besides the climate of Qena governorate is continental, i.e. very hot in summers and very cold in winters, therefore it necessitates to insulate buildings with natural inexpensive insulating materials affordable for the population. Hence the importance of this research is to illustrate the importance of benefitting from the solid waste recycling in a healthy manner, and the preservation of environment in a sustainable manner, so as to achieve sustainable development of resources, in order to over come the phenomenon of pollution and global warming. Altogether through the production of local building materials friendly to the environment and heat-insulating, suit the hot regions in general, and the villages of Qena governorate desert back in particular. The research illustrated sugar cane straw and paper blocks (as an example of such an alternative type of the traditional construction materials), which do not require in their manufacturing processing advanced techniques and it can be manufactured manually in the site and does not require high-tech manufacturing, and it also can be manufactured in factory, such blocks distinguished by its good thermal and acoustic insulation as well as its light weight, and consequently the phenomenon of environmental pollution can be reduced or even eradicated, in addition to reducing the cost of housing, these materials can be benefitted from once again in the post-construction phase.( Post-age of the building). | ||
