Within its capacity and mandate, Ministry of Local Government has always strived to enhance the level of performance of local authorities for it to be able to lead the development wheel in every aspect. As a result, this will help improving the level of efficiency and equality of services provided to citizens which consequently will enhance Palestinians’ living conditions and contribute in creating a more healthy, safe, culturally rich, and economically stable environment.
Palestine is facing many challenges and difficulties due to the Israeli occupation practices together with the scarcity and lack of control over resources. This requires proper planning adopting a participatory approach that includes active involvement of all actors from community members, civil organizations as an actual example of practicing democracy. All of all, this will contribute to realizing the Ministry’s vision of a good local governance capable to achieve sustainable development through active public participation.
Under these circumstances, Ministry of Local Government has made a remarkable progress in the field of strategic development planning. The Ministry has adopted a strategic development planning approach at the local and regional levels (governorates level) to be the corner stone in the identification and prioritization of development needs and planning processes taking into consideration an inclusive and conscious understanding of capabilities and resources.
However, for a more scientific and systematic application of the preparation process of strategic and development plans at the regional level at governorates, and the local level at local councils; three planning manuals were prepared. The first manual was on “Strategic Development Planning of Governorates”, while the second manual was on “Strategic Development Planning for Palestinian Cities and Towns”. In addition to that, a third manual was prepared on “Physical Planning”. The three manuals were prepared with an effort from local and international experts that contributed to both the preparation and the training and capacity building of Ministry’s staff, local authorities and local community organizations. With this effort made, the Ministry aimed to create qualified competencies capable of planning, implementing, monitoring and evaluation and most importantly leading the development wheel.
Proper planning creates the balance and the connectivity at all planning levels (national, regional and local) whether related to development planning or spatial planning. Therefore, connecting the regional strategic development plans and national plans outputs with the local development plans is an essential step to assure the success of these plans in mobilizing funds as well as implementing development projects emanating from these plans without wasting resources and capacities.
In the last years, Ministry of Local Government has experienced the strategic development planning at the regional level where strategic development plans for the governorates of Jenin, Nablus, Salfit, Tulkarm, Bethlehem, Tubas, and Qalqiliya were prepared. Therefore, as a continuation of the Ministry’s policy to support and enable all the remaining governorates in preparing strategic development plans; Ministry of Local Government and its partners are pleased to finalize the preparation of the strategic development plans of Hebron governorate. This plan is prepared to be a reference for all institutions in the governorate in the process of mobilizing needed resources and capacities to implement the proposed plans and projects.
Having said this, I want to deeply thank all those who contributed to the completion of this plan, especially the governor who took the lead in the process of plans preparation. Special thanks go to the technical staff and consultants. At the end, we hope that this fruitful collaboration has laid a solid foundation to accelerate the development wheel in the governorate for a better future of planning in Palestine.

In our efforts to achieve sustainable development at the national and
local levels, and as we believe that the only way to reach this end is to
use planning as a tool, we have worked together in partnership with the
Ministry of Local Government to prepare the Spatial Development Strategic Framework (SDSF) for
Hebron Governorate (2030). The goal is to promote the development reality, in general, achieve social
justice, and provide basic services to citizens according to international quality standards. This is a
step to ensure and achieve the ingredients of steadfastness to our people in Hebron Governorate.
This would be done along with the optimal use of available resources and equal opportunities for all
in order to achieve sustainable local development within the possibilities available.
This ambitious strategic plan reflects the true reality of the capabilities, possibilities, needs, and
obstacles of achieving development in general, and the best means to maximize the development
components within the available resources. We seek, in partnership with all local and national
institutions and in full harmony with the national plan, to implement the programs and projects
included in this plan within the agreed on timetables. We also hope that we, in partnership with all,
will be able to achieve the goals and outcomes of the strategic plan document for Hebron 2030.

IntroductionThe preparation of the Spatial Development Strategic Framework (SDSF) for Hebron Governorate (City-region
plan for Hebron) is part of the project “Fostering Tenure Security and Resilience of Palestinian Communities
through Spatial-Economic Planning Interventions in Area C (2017-2020)”, funded by the European Union and
managed by the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat), in collaboration with the Min-
istry of Local Government and Hebron Governorate. The consultants provided technical support and advisory
assistance to the local committees throughout the different stages of preparation of the city-region plan.
This document presents a summary of the SDSF for Hebron Governorate for the next 12 years. It presents an
analytical summary of the reality of Hebron Governorate, as well as the shared development vision agreed
based on a multi-stakeholder approach. The document identifies priority development issues, and the de-
velopment programs and interventions in an action plan format, along with a designated monitoring and
evaluation plan.
Main ObjectivesThe purpose of this document is to present a summary of the SDSF for Hebron Governorate, which has the
following objectives:
1. Diagnose the current status of the various development areas (including administration and local govern-
ment, infrastructure and public services, social aspects, and economic and economic development) in the
governorate.
2. Identify the available opportunities for the development process in the governorate and the obstacles
facing it, and its geopolitical situation. Formulate a comprehensive development vision within a time
frame of 2030.
3. Develop integrated spatial development objectives, focusing on the infrastructure, education, and health
sectors.
4. Identify priority projects and development programs and locate them spatially in the governorate.
5. Develop an integrated implementation plan within a time frame and the associated financial estimates.
6. Develop a methodology to monitor the implementation mechanisms of the plan and develop measures
of its progress.
7. Link the SDSF document to national, local, sectorial, and cross-sectorial development policies and plans.
8. Identify the options available to meet the development challenges in the so-called Area C.
MethodologyThe SDSF adopted the participatory approach of working in partnership with citizens, civil society organizations,
local councils, government institutions, and several other relevant parties in Hebron Governorate. This was also
guided by the work mechanisms and planning included in the “Strategic Planning Manual for the Governorates”
and was also guided by the “Urban Planning Manual: Procedures and Tools for Preparing Master Plans in the
West Bank and Gaza Strip”, in particular with regard to the preparation of the SDSF in the governorate.
The methodology of preparing this plan for Hebron Governorate has basically been based on implementing
three basic phases, each containing several steps. Each step also includes different sub-activities, as shown in
Figure 1.

Map (1): Location of Hebron Governorate
Overview of Hebron Governorate
Hebron Governorate is located in the southern part of the West Bank, about 36 km away of Jerusalem. It is
bordered in the north by Bethlehem Governorate and by the Armistice Line, the so-called Green Line of 1949
in the other three directions (ARIJ, 2009) (see Map 1). The area of Hebron Governorate is 937 km2. According
to the nature of land use in the governorate, it includes Palestinian residential areas, Israeli settlements, Israeli
military bases, closed military areas by the Israeli occupation forces, nature reserves, forests, and arable land.
Hebron Governorate, which dates back more than seven thousand years, is a holy place for the three monotheis-
tic religions. It includes the sanctuaries of prophets, messengers, and companions. There are also several ancient
mosques, religious corners, archaeological, and historical landmarks.
Hebron Governorate’s climate ranges from dry to semi-dry, and the severity of drought towards the Negev desert
in the south and the Jordan Valley in the east. The governorate is characterized by a large variation in its elevation
from the Mean Sea Level (MSL) and in its topographic nature. The governorate has a mountain belt located on
the western side of the Jordan Valley. The heights in the governorate range from 140 meters below MSL and 1,014
meters above MSL. The governorate lands are divided into four main types of terrain: the inner plain, the central
hills region, the central mountains, and wilderness.
Water shortage in the Hebron Governorate is a serious problem, not only because of dry and semi-arid climatic
conditions, but also because of the Israeli control of the Palestinian water resources and the severe restrictions on
the use of these resources.According to the 2017 census, total population of Hebron is 711.233, which is 24.7% of the total population of the
West Bank. 86.9% of the total population of Hebron Governorate is urban, 10.8% are rural, and 2.3% are camp resi-
dents. Males constitute 51.5% and females account for 48.5% of the governorate’s population.
The current geopolitical situation represents the most important
challenge facing the strategic development aspirations of Hebron
Governorate. This is characterized by spatial fragmentation and
contraction of the governorate’s space, which is the potential
space for urban expansion operations and for exploiting the de-
velopment of various economic and social sectors. The process
of continuously dividing the governorate’s territory for building
and expanding Israeli settlements, bypass roads, the separa-
tion wall, the identification of natural areas, military camps, and
checkpoints poses a major challenge to any development orienta-
tion of the people of the governorate. In order to face this,
a great deal of effort is required by the responsible authorities and in
cooperation with the relevant international institutions.Israel has carried out a series of measures on the ground to tighten its control over the governorate and to put
restrictions in an effort to de-populate the governorate. These measures include inter-alia: construction of Israeli
settlements, separation wall, military checkpoints, bypass roads, and the geopolitical division of the governorate
according to the Oslo Accords (II), and Hebron City Protocol H1, H2.
This political division is translated in terms of figures as follows: Area A (24% of total governorate area), Area
B (22%), and Area C (48%), and Natural Reserves (6%). This also prevented the Palestinians from exploiting
about 50% of their agricultural lands directly, since these lands are located in Area C.
The current division, which defines the land of Hebron Governorate (A, B) by about 50%, makes the process of devel-
opment fragmented and not even sufficient for urban expansion in the near future.
The decision to develop a SDSF for the Hebron Governorate; with a spatial dimension including the lands in Area C,
was timely and important.

Based on the priority development issues iden-
tified for each development sector, the strategic
objectives have been identified to contribute
to and resolve these issues. In order to achieve
the strategic objectives, a set of indicators have
been formulated and a number of programs and
projects were selected up to year 2030, which if
implemented, can achieve the identified objec-
tives.

Spatial Dimension for the Proposed Developmental Programs and ProjectsThis SDSF for Hebron Governorate is based on a general comprehensive approach without going into the
details of the places for the different development interventions. At the same time, the plan did identify the
spatial dimension and locations of each program and project in order to make it easier to deal with and imple-
ment these projects/programs.
During the identification of the different programs and projects, special considerations were given to the
needs of the different communities in the governorate especially those located in Area C and/or those located
behind the separation wall. In addition, special considerations were given to available carrying capacity and
resources in the governorate including fertile agricultural land, water resources, and other natural and cultur-
al heritage resources when identifying the locations where different developmental programs and projects
would be implemented.
Table 4 and Figures 2 through 9 include the proposed programs and projects within this SDSF for Hebron
Governorate for the different development sectors with its spatial dimension.

Spatial Framework Plan for Hebron GovernorateThe spatial development framework is a key component in the project of preparing the strategic develop-
ment plan for Hebron Governorate, as it forms the basis for integrating the planning practices related to the
preparation of the strategic development plans and those related to the preparation of the physical plans,
thus contributing to achieving a set of developmental goals (e.g. achieving social justice, optimal utilization
of natural resources and achieving higher economic growth rates). In addition, it contributes to the develop-
ment of appropriate solutions to economic, social, and environmental problems, and to develop a spatial vi-
sion for the advancement of marginalized Palestinian areas, Area classified as “C” at the level of the West Bank
and integrate them organically and functionally with its Palestinian surroundings.
The spatial development framework deals with the hierarchy and level of spatial intervention of social ser-
vices in the localities in Hebron governorate, as well as the spatial dimension of the development programs
and projects that have been proposed to address the priority development issues.
According to the study titled “The hierarchy of Service Centers in the West Bank and Gaza Strip” prepared
by the Ministry of Planning in 2006, in which service centers were divided into four levels; a regional, semi-
regional, local and neighboring center, based on the spatial distribution and communication between these
centers and their surroundings as well as the level of services provided by these centers and the possibility of
developing them to provide services at different levels to the surrounding localities within the governorate,
this study identified eight centers in Hebron governorate. These are a regional center (Hebron), two semi-
regional centers (Yatta and Dura cities), two local centers (Halhul and Al-Dhahiriya) and three adjacent centers
(Bani Na’im, Samou ‘, and Tarqumiya towns).
The review of the current hierarchy of service centers in Hebron Governorate, indicates a weakness in the spa-
tial distribution of these centers. There are some areas and localities in the governorate that are not serviced
and need sub-regional and local service centers, especially in the northern, eastern, and western areas of the
governorate.
Hence, it is possible to modify this hierarchy based on a number of factors; the most important of which are:
(1) Availability of services in localities according to classification level.
(2) Current and projected population size.
(3) Geographical location and service area.
(4) Geopolitical characteristics.

Accordingly, the following modifications can be proposed to the hierarchy of service centers in Hebron Gov-
ernorate:
1. Raising the hierarchical level of Halhoul and Al-Dhahriya cities from local centers to sub-regional centers,
as they fulfill the required services for the sub-regional centers on the one hand and their population size
and their service coverage on the other hand.
2. Raising the hierarchical level of the towns of Bani Na’im, Samou, and Tarqumiya from neighboring centers
to local centers, as they fulfill the required services, and the population size, and the service coverage of
the local centers.
3. Propose the towns of Surif and Beit Awa as local centers as they fulfill the requirement for the local centers
in terms of required services, the population size and service coverage, in addition to taking into account
the geopolitical dimension of the town of Beit Awa.
4. Suggesting the towns of Sa’ir, Karmel, and Kharas as neighboring centers as they fulfill the requirement for
neighboring centers in terms of services, the population size, and service coverage.

Spatial Development Strategic Framework (2030)Hebron Governorate
6160
Based on the outcomes of the strategic analysis of the different development sectors in Hebron Governorate
and the formulation of the strategic framework (the vision and the strategic objectives) and the identification
of the proposed programs and projects, it is possible to identify the strategic directions for spatial develop-
ment in the Governorate during the implementation period of the plan which can be translated to a strategic
framework plan for spatial development in the Governorate.
The strategic framework plan for spatial development is primarily based on information that describes the
geographical and geopolitical conditions of the governorate (location of localities, road networks, political di-
vision of the different areas and impact of occupation due to settlements and the separation wall) in addition
to the information obtained from the national Protection Plan for Natural Resources and Archaeological Sites
(agricultural land classification, biodiversity areas, historical and archeological sites, and others) and the availa-
ble areas for future urban development in the governorate, which was discussed in the first part of this report.
In addition, the framework includes the spatial dimension of the different proposed programs and projects
in the Spatial Strategic Development Framework plan for the Hebron Governorate and the proposed future
expansion of urban areas and the spatial needs for housing and public services that were identified earlier and
the proposed areas for joint planning according to service centers.
Map 11 shows the strategic framework plan for spatial development for Hebron Governorate.
Based on the Spatial Strategic Development Framework in the Governorate, a plan for public transportation
routes and stations can be developed as shown in Map 12. Also, the connection between green areas can be
established as illustrated in Map 13.

Institutional framework for the implementation of the plan
The preparation of the Spatial Strategic Development plan for Hebron Governorate went through three main
phases:
Phase 1: The organizing and diagnosis phase which includes the formulation of the steering committee,
technical and specialized committees. This phase includes the diagnosis of the different development sectors.
Phase 2: The identification of the strategic development framework, which includes the identification of
priority issues, the vision, the strategic objectives, the programs and projects, and the main indicators.
Phase 3: The preparation of the implementation plan, the monitoring and evaluation plan, and the SDSF for
the governorate.
Concerning the implementation of the plan, it has to go through two phases that complement the three
phases mentioned above, namely:
Phase 4: The implementation phase and includes the preparation of projects requirements and details, fund
raising, building partnerships, and starting the actual implementation.
Phase 5: monitoring and Evaluation phase which includes the monitoring and evaluation of the implemented
projects and programs, revising the implementation plan, and the monitoring and evaluation plan, accordingly.
The institutional arrangements (formulation of the different committees) were a keystone during the different
phases of the plan preparation. Likewise, effective institutional arrangements for the plan implementation
phases is the key element towards successful implementation of the plan and to face any challenges and propose
solutions to any problems that could arise during the implementation process.
Therefore, the following proposed institutional arrangements are meant to secure proper and continuous
implementation, monitoring, and evaluation processes of the plan.
Figure 4 shows the proposed institutional framework to manage the implementation, monitoring, and evaluation
of the plan. The figure is followed by a description of the roles and responsibilities of the different stakeholders.

technical committee.
Support and Lobbying
Concerning the support and lobbying for the plan, it is worth mentioning that an advocacy strategy for
planning and development in Area C was adopted in partnership between UN-Habitat and MoLG between
2016 and 2018 to safeguard the building and planning rights for Palestinian communities in Area C. This can
be supported through the lobbying of partners, both national and international, to push the Israeli occupation
authorities to enable the Palestinians institutions to plan, construct, and develop their infrastructure and
institutional capacities to be able to provide good services and enhance the existence and living conditions of
citizens according to the international human rights laws and principles.
The main strategic objectives included in the advocacy plan are:
Prepare and expand the spatial plans and identify sectorial development priorities in villages and communities
located in Area C.
Develop and raise the level of basic services provided to citizens both quantitatively and qualitatively.
Freeze demolitions imposed on citizens in Area C and the compliance with international human rights law.
Support the economic growth of the citizens in Area C.
Hebron Governorate Observatory Development CenterThe development observer was established in the beginning of year 2019 with the aim to monitor and evalu-
ate the development process in the governorate and to keep updating the future community needs. It is
expected that this observer will help implementing the SDSF for the governorate. The main tasks for the
Observatory Development Center (ODC) can be summarized in the followings:
• Make data and indicators available.
• Technical and institutional development.
• Consultation services.
• Support decision-making.
• Build local capacities.
ConclusionsThe SDSF for the Governorate of Hebron for the years 2019-2030 is developed based on a participatory approach
to direct the development in the governorate towards the strategic vision developed by representatives from
the public sector, the private sector, and the civil society.
The proposed programs and projects and its spatial distribution focus on resolving the development issues
taking into consideration the need to create a balanced development within the governorate with emphasis
on marginalized communities within Area C since these communities were deprived from the basic needs for
social and economic development by the Israeli authorities’ policies.
This strategic plan includes 33 programs and projects in the economic, infrastructure, planning, and social
development sectors with a total cost of 778 million US$ distributed over 12 years.
To ensure proper implementation of the SDSF, phase four and phase five, which include implementation,
monitoring and evaluation mechanisms, need to be followed up. The partnership and cooperation between
the private sector and the public sector is essential for a successful implementation of acupuncture projects
under the strategic framework. In addition, proper governmental support and donor community’s support
are also key for the success of the implementation process.
