    abstract = {The study of residential slums in the holy city of Najaf considered as an extremely important issue
for the great impact that it holds on the human life and his various activities and events. This
influence reflected directly on the infrastructure system services which led to the weakness of its
functional efficiency as well as their insufficient to the needs of the population. The reason for the

and grow, despite their negative effects, especially, infrastructure services such as transport routes,
health, education and electrical power which led to the inadequacy of the population from the system
service.}
