Abstract:

Since 2017, both the Interim Government and local councils have launched industrial cities in northwestern Syria, with the aim of breaking the economic stagnation in northern Syria and mitigating the effects of the conflict on the liberated areas, which suffer from high rates of poverty and widespread unemployment. The study aimed to identify the determinants of investment in existing industrial cities in northern Syria, and to know the percentage of influence of each of these determinants on attracting investors to northern Syria. The importance of the study is evident in identifying the determinants of investment in northern Syria in general and industrial cities in particular. The descriptive analytical approach was used to identify these determinants according to a questionnaire that was prepared and distributed to investors in Al-Rai Industrial City. 85 responses were obtained. The responses of the study sample were analyzed by conducting tests of the arithmetic mean, standard deviation, and T test, and knowing the trend of the sample. All determinants had an impact on attracting investors. Al-Rai Industrial City still suffers from economic and financial determinants, as the researcher found that 83.37% of the studied sample believed that there was a moderate impact of the economic determinants on investors in Al-Rai Industrial City, and the security and political determinants had 81.41% of the studied sample believe that there is a moderate impact of security and political determinants on investors in Al-Rai Industrial City. 81.41% of the studied sample believe that there is a moderate impact of security and political determinants on investors in Al-Rai Industrial City. 78.9% of the studied sample believe that there is a moderate impact of the technical determinants on investors in Al-Rai Industrial City.
