Lebanon's Ports
Community Service Project opted by us, Grade 11 students
This year we served the community through our remote meetings
We decided to use the technology with the technical support of ESRI Lebanon to prepare an interactive application on the locations and features of different ports in Lebanon by relying on GIS using space imagery to position and facilitate access to information with modern technology.
This work was characterized by our courage and our will to persevere despite all the obstacles we encountered and through it we tested modern programs and techniques and benefited from technology.

We have chosen our project to serve the community, dedicated to demonstrating the value of the vital field in Lebanon through its ports and that, in partnership with ESRI Lebanon.
Our project aims to develop an application that identifies the location of all ports in Lebanon and the information everyone needs about them, relying on GIS. Through this electronic application, it will make be easier for any Lebanese to locate Lebanon's ports to whether they are tourist, commercial or even specialized in fishing and other materials, in addition to useful information about each port and its image.
The port is the waterfront that opens the country to other states and has long been the only link with other people and civilizations, through which it has crossed, to the point where states are measured by the progress of their ports.

Lebanon is characterized by its many ports and its many destinations economically, commercially and tourismally.
Beirut Port is a link between East and West. In addition, it contains wheat wastes in which the quantities required for consumption are stored in the country, before the ill-fated bombing of August 4, 2020.
There are also ports in Tripoli, Sidon and Tyre, which are less spaced and important commercial ports than Beirut port, but are also an essential engine for the Lebanese economy.
Economically, these ports can feed the state treasury through customs duties on imported and exported goods and through transit traffic, as well as job opportunities for various categories of labor.
The tourist ports are many, the most important of which is the port of Jounieh, where tourists and fishermen are received. The ports of Sidon, Tyre and the port in Tripoli, which leads tourists to Palm Island, are also equipped today to replace the port of Beirut until its rehabilitation, which may take time...

Finally,
we have launched accurate positioning space images and have conducted appropriate research and communications to confirm the appropriate information for each port. We have introduced this information to Arcgis platform, which has met our ambitions to transform our written information into an interactive application with modern technology, easy to use by all segments of society and rich in the information it provides in a fun and attractive way.
We made a great effort to do this work: we rejoiced, cooperated with each other, fought and then talked and tried to find the right solutions to each problem. Our remote work has not been easy but we have tried to overcome all obstacles to achieve our goal. We have succeeded, learned new technologies and benefited from technology to the fullest extent.
This project is supervised by Mrs. Maryse Fadel Sawma, who is responsible for the community service project at the school, in collaboration with the school administration represented by her director, Sister Dalida Al-Hoyek, the responsible of the secondary section, Mrs. Samar Chaanine.
The preparation and implementation of the 11th grade students: Maria Sawma, Tracy Daccache, Naya Haddad, Tamara Farah, Gaelle Habchy, Clara Nader, Charbel Kallouche and Karim Majdalany.
