ABSTRACT This study represents one of the scientiﬁc studies in Urban geography for a city which is now considered one of the largest cities in Sudan as regards the area and the commercial and administrative importance. Though it had been until the ﬁfties of this century avillage with shanty dwellings and slums together with cattle corrals at the western outskirts of Omdunnan. The study, however, tackles the different natural and human elements that lead to the emergence of such large and important city. _ The research worker follows here the descriptive approach in addition to the deductive and inference approach for the review of geographical facts enshrined in the third chapter (Natural Elements) and the ﬁfth chapter (Urban Morphology). He adopts the methodology of direct observation and the studying of the maps of the city. He also uses "the statistical methods in illustrating and analyzing the data on human traits of city dwellers particularly in the fourth chapter : (population) and the part concerning the city problems within the ﬁfth chapter — through the historical approach.

Moreover, the author conducted tours and visits to the residential quarters and environs of the city and the adjacent regions with the aim of accomplishing a satisfactory ﬁeld study.

مدينة ملكال

Abstract This study of the city of Malakal is the ﬁrst of its kind on the urban geography of the southern states. Malakal is considered one of largest cities of the Sudan as regards its size, commercial and administrative signiﬁcance. The study concludes that there are several natural factors that inﬂuence the city. The terrain is level, sloping down from the east to the west towards the White Nile. The heavy clay soil needs special treatment in the case of constructing a building. Ground water exists in the Umm Rawabah basin some 3 kilometers to the east of Malakal. The population is mostly composed of the young age group. The per capita income amounted to 2597 Sudanese Dinars per month in 2002. A morphology study on the city and land use shows that 92% of the buildings erected were constructed of non-permanent materials. Housing takes up some 68% of the land area. The city has reciprocal ties with its region but faces several problems such as water supply, transport, deterioration of the environment and poverty. The study concludes with the ﬁndings, in addition to recommendations aiming at the development of the city in tenns of urban and economic development and the provision of urban SGFVICGS.
