The best-planned development of any area is possible when the problems of that area are well understood, well documented and closely monitored. The central city has always been a spatial location of significance although its characteristic qualities have varied considerably over time and space. This study focuses on the internal structure of the years 2007 and 2014, which refers to the arrangement of land uses of the downtown (Saddar area) of Karachi. During the past half a century, the arrangement of land uses has been focused in study of western cities however such studies pertaining to Non-Western Cities are limited in number. This has been the chief stimulating factor behind the selection of this research. Saddar area of Karachi historically has always been recognized as the main shopping center of Karachi. Apart from commercial activity, which is the major activity, the area has substantial amount of residential function, educational, administrative and many other recognized land uses. The purpose of the study is to pinpoint the salient features of internal structure of the downtown area based on the spatial arrangement of its land uses. The analyses of this study utilized quantitative and qualitative data collected through intensive field inventory and interviews. Apart from traditional cartographic techniques the study has made full use of modern technique, Geographical Information System (GIS). This study indicates the changes that have occurred in the land uses and commercial functions in the downtown Saddar. As a result of this research, it has been possible to solve the problems like traffic congestion, poor road infrastructure, huge number of hawkers along the road side & foot path causing problems for pedestrians, old and damaged buildings not in use, lack of inter-shops space, noise pollution, air pollution, parking issues, drinking water problems, residential problems for migrants (job seekers) etc.

22۔سیاسی عدم استحکام

پاکستان میں حکومتوں کی تبدیلی معمول کی بات ہے ۔ مشکل سے کوئی سیاسی جماعت تین سال اقتدار میں رہتی ہے کہ حکومت کا تختہ الٹ دیا جاتا ہے ۔ پھر انتخابات ہوتے ہیں ، پھر دوسری سیاسی جماعت کی حکومت بھی تبدیل کردی جاتی ہے۔پاکستان میں سیاسی عدم استحکام کی بہت سی وجوہات ہیں ،جن میں سےایک وجہ سیاسی جماعت کے قیام کی شرائط اور قواعدو ضوابط کی پابندی نہ کرنا ، دوسرا سبب یہ ہے کہ جو پارٹی بھی حکومت بناتی ہے ،وہ اپنے آپ کو قانون سے بالاتر سمجھتی ہے اورا نتقام کی پالیسی اختیار کرتی ہے۔ اس کے علاوہ سیاسی عدم استحکام کا اہم سبب عدالتی نظام میں عدل کا نہ ہونا ہے۔ وطن عزیز میں یہ سمجھا جاتا ہے کہ مقتد ر طبقہ حکومت کے آخری سال میں اپنے ذوق اور دوبارہ عوامی مینڈیٹ حاصل کرنے کے لیے قانون سازی کرتا ہے ۔ پاکستان کی سیاسی صورتحال اس کے بالکل الٹ رہی ہے ۔لہذا اس امر کی ضرورت ہے کہ سیاسی جماعتوں کو چاہیے کہ حکومت جس کو بھی ملے، اسی کو پورے پانچ سال حکومت کرنے دی جائے تاکہ وہ عوام کے سامنے سرخرو ہو سکے اور عوامی جذبات وخواہشات کے مطابق ملک میں قانون سازی کرسکیں۔ سیاسی عدم استحکام کی وجہ سے قوانین حدودوقصاص کی تنفیذ میں مشکلات آ رہی ہیں۔

محبة الله عز وجل في السنة النبوية من الصحيحين: دراسة حديثية موضوعية

يهدف هذا البحث إلى جمع الأحاديث الواردة في محبة الله عز وجل من الصحيحين، ودراستها واستنباط الأحكام والفوائد منها، وإثبات صفة المحبة لله تعالى، وأنه سبحانه يحب عباده، ويحبه عباده، وهو مذهب أهل السنة والجماعة. كما أن هذا البحث يبين ما يحبه الله من الأعمال والأقوال والأخلاق التي وردت بها سنة النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، وقد أوردت فيه الأسباب الموجبة لمحبته سبحانه، وثمرات تلك المحبة. وخلص الباحث إلى أنَّ محبة الله جل وعلا واجبة، وأن لها آثاراً تترتب عليها، ومقتضيات يجب تحقيقها، وأن محبة الله للعبد لها علامات يستدل بها على ذلك.

Rotation and Gray-Scale Invariant Texture Analysis

Texture analysis is an extremely active and useful area of research. In texture analysis the invariance to rotation, scale and translation are the most typical requirements. Moreover, gray-scale invariance is another important issue. It arises due to the reason that a texture may be subject to different levels of illumination. The purpose of this study is to investigate some inexpensive approaches that are rotation and gray scale invariant and to large extent translation invariant as well. There are three different types of approaches, which have been addressed in this dissertation. In the first approach, we have done texture analysis using Radon Transform (RT) based Hidden Markov Model (HMM). We have introduced three different ways to extract feature vectors using RT. All three give rotation invariant features, while the last one gives rotation, as well as, gray scale invariant features. The textures in this case have been taken from Brodatz album. Due to the inherent property of the RT, we are able to capture the directional features of a certain texture having arbitrary orientation. This set of directional features is used for training of an HMM specifically for that particular texture. Once all the HMMs have been trained, the testing is carried out by using any one of these textures at random with arbitrary orientation. The second approach is somewhat similar to the above one except that the modified or Differential Radon Transform (DRT) has been used instead of the ordinary RT. Hence, we are able to capture the features which are not only rotation but are also gray scale invariant. The reason for the later property is that, unlike the ordinary RT, the DRT is based on the differences between adjacent pixels instead of summing up the pixel values. These features have been used for training of HMMs, one for each texture, and finally testing is carried out. Similar experimentation has been done to extract features using both RT and DRT to give low pass and high pass features. The training and testing process using HMM has been done in a similar manner as above. The third approach is quite different from the above two approaches. In this approach, some principal direction of a texture is defined. Once this direction is estimated, discrete wavelet transform is applied in that particular direction to extract features. These features are then used for classification by k-nearest neighbor classifier. There are two definitions of principal direction, which have been proposed in the dissertation. In case of vthe first definition, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) has been used to estimate this principal direction. In the case of second definition, the direction has been found out by using DRT. This scheme is computationally lighter compared to the previous one. However, the third approach is limited to anisotrpic textures only unlike the previous method Considering the percentage of correct classification as figure of merit, we have carried out the performance evaluation of the above three approaches. The average result has been found to be 95% approximately and the best result has been close to 100%.
