Two colour maps of Doha, each @70x99cm, printed by Doha Modern Printing Press. Both good, folded with several archival tape repairs to the versos, small marks, and creasing to the edge of (1). These are early products of the Ministry of Municipal Affairs' ambitious Qatar Area Referencing System (QARS), which assigned each Area, street, and building with a number and signage. This had been recommended by Shankland Cox during 1979-81 to assist planning and resolve confusion. Phase 1 covered Doha in 67 Areas. Phase 2 covered the rest of the country. In 1992 the Ministry linked QARS to GIS through its new Centre for Geographic Information Systems (CGIS). MAP 1: Doha Preliminary Street Map Popular Version (Qatar Area Referencing System Public Information Programme, Phase 1 - Doha). Undated, c1987. Captioned in English, with a note stating the final version will be released on completion of QARS. The main map (6cm to 1km) shows major buildings and enterprises pictorially, differentiating road types, with Zone Index. An inset covers downtown Areas 1-7 enclosed by major roads. // MAP 2: Doha City - Map of Roads and Streets (Media Programme Street Naming and Real Estate Numbering Project in Qatar - Qatar Area Referencing System (QARS)).

It also records a related QARS Executive Summary (1983), and Guide book (c1990).…

Shipping terms
SHIPPING: Domestic and international shipping is tracked and insured with UPS. This has unfortunately meant an increase in domestic rates especially, and in most cases I am absorbing some of the increase. (I have moved away from Royal Mail owing to a series of problems).
DELIVERY DEADLINES: If you have a hard deadline for receipt that is before the processing time stated on Abe, eg, if you need it to arrive urgently before you travel or before a particular event, please contact me at the time of order to advise, so options can be discussed and steps taken to ensure it gets there in time.
RETURNS: Please return any items for refund within 30 days of the estimated delivery date, and contact me first with the reason for the return to establish whether postal costs will be included in the refund. If the item is not as described, I will cover the original and return post.
