1.3. Prices
Price statistics, which include the inflation rate and price indices, are some of the most important statistical indicators produced by statistics centres. One of SCADs key indicators is the Consumer Prices Index (CPI), which is compiled with 2007 as a base year. A price index is a tool that measures average change in the prices of goods and services between two periods of time: a reference period, known as the base period, against which prices during other periods are measured; and a comparison period, the prices during which are compared with those of the base period. Annual and monthly inflation rates can be calculated from the estimates of the CPI. The results of CPI calculations for 2010 are outlined below: The inflation rate in 2010 was 3.1%, compared with 0.8% in 2009, as evident from the rise in the CPI from 115.8 points in 2009 to 119.3 points in 2010. This means that the rate of increase in the prices of the consumers basket for the year 2010 compared with 2009 was 3.1%. In other words, if we assume that a specific set of goods and services cost the consumer AED 1000 in 2009, then the cost of the same set of goods and services would have risen to AED 1,031 in 2010. The Housing, water, electricity, gas and other fuels group contributed 55.4% of the total inflation rate in 2010, which was primarily due to an increase of 4.9% in rental costs.

2.3. Oil and Gas

The Emirate of Abu Dhabi is one of the worlds major producers of oil, which was first discovered in commercial quantities in 1958. Since then the Emirate has been able to achieve remarkable progress in the investment and development of its oil wealth and natural gas. Abu Dhabi now ranks sixth worldwide in terms of proven oil reserves, sitting atop 7% of the worlds oil reserves and accounting for 8% of OPECs production. The Emirate also ranks seventh worldwide in terms of natural gas reserves. Oil revenues constitute the main source of funding for Abu Dhabis programmes of sustainable development and income diversification. The value added of this activity contributed 49.7% of the Emirates GDP in 2010, leading the Government to adopt a plan aimed at diversifying the economic base and reducing this ratio over the course of the coming years. Such diversification is regarded as the only true guarantee of balanced and sustainable development. There are two refineries in Abu Dhabi with a refining capacity of 600 thousand barrels per day. The Emirate intends to build a third refinery in the Emirate of Fujairah with a daily capacity of 300 thousand barrels.

2.5. Electricity and Water

Mindful of the importance of electricity and water as basic utilities, the Government of Abu Dhabi accords particular attention to the improvement and development of these activities. The current rapid development in this sector dates back to March 1998, which marked the promulgation of the law establishing the Abu Dhabi Water and Electricity Authority (ADWEA) as the higher supervisory authority regulating the water and electricity sector and implementing government policies in this regard. At present there are 16 plants generating electricity and producing desalinated water. They are owned by seven companies, two of which are fully owned by the Emirates government, which also holds a 60% stake in the remaining five. There are also four ADWEA affiliates dealing with water supplies and power transmission and distribution, namely, Abu Dhabi Water and Electricity Company (ADWEC), Abu Dhabi Distribution Company (ADDC), Al Ain Distribution Company (AADC) and Abu Dhabi Transmission and Dispatch Company (TRANSCO), all fully owned by the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. In 2010 electricity consumption in the Emirate Abu Dhabi reached 40,644 GWH. The share of total electricity consumption of the Abu Dhabi region for the period under review was 63.6%, followed by Al-Ain region with 24.4% and the Western region with 12%. The Emirates water consumption totalled 192,028 million imperial gallons, of which Abu Dhabi region consumed 60.6%, Al Ain region 26.6% and the Western region 12.8%.

2.9. Hotels
The government of Abu Dhabi pays particular attention to the tourism sector to function as a new development catalyst within the Abu Dhabi 2030 vision. Due to the importance of this vital sector in the agenda of Abu Dhabi government, which aims to diversify the economy and increase sources of income, Statistics Centre-Abu Dhabi has paid special attention to hotel indicators, which have grown significantly in recent years. The number of hotel establishments in Abu Dhabi remained unchanged at 115 in 2010. However, the number of hotel rooms increased by 8.1% over the same period. This rise in the capacity of hotels reduced the occupancy rate from 72.2% in 2009 to 64.7% in 2010, even though the number of hotel and hotel apartments guests rose by 17.7% in 2010. Figures also point to a rise in the number of guests for all nationalities to 23.1% except Europe nationals, for whom the number declined by about 3%. Likewise, in 2010 the number of guestnights increased by 18.8% for all nationalities, except for guests from Australia and Pacific for whom guestnights declined by 10%. There was a slight decline of 2% in the revenue of hotels and hotel apartments in 2010, although the number of guests have increased by 17.7%, mainly due to the decline in the prices of hotel rooms in 2010. 2.9.1.

3. Population and Demography

This chapter presents data on the size, distribution and structure of the population of the Abu Dhabi Emirate. Included in this chapter are also figures on births, deaths, marriages and divorce, and also on arrivals and departures of individuals to and from the Emirate. The Abu Dhabi Census 2011 is scheduled to take place during the final quarter of the current year. The Census will provide the most comprehensive, accurate, and updated database about all the people of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi and on their demographic characteristics, for both nationals and non-nationals. The pre-census population estimates in the 2011 Statistical Yearbook are therefore subject to revision after the results of the Abu Dhabi Census 2011 become available in the first half of 2012. Results of the second phase of the population project prepared by SCAD reveal that the population of the emirate of Abu Dhabi totaled 1,967,659 in mid-2010, including 1,379,618 males and 588,041 females, meaning that the number of males is almost double the female number. In terms of distribution of the population by regions, results show that the number of people who are living in the Abu Dhabi region was 1,197,284 or 60.8% of the total population for the Emirate. Similarly, Al Ain accommodated 568,221 or 28.9% of the Emirate, there were 184, 508 or 9.4% in the Western Region and finally 17,646 or 0.9% in the Islands. The 2010 population pyramid for Abu Dhabi nationals shows a broad-based age sex structure and smaller population size in older age cohorts. The population pyramid indicates a society with declining mortality over the past 20-30 years while maintaining high fertility. Population estimates by age structure of nationals by broad age-groups are 40.2% below 15 years of age, 57.5% are 15 to 64 years and 2.2% are 65 years and over. In 2010 crude birth and death rates among nationals were 31.1 births per 1000 people and 2.2 deaths per 1000 people respectively. The average annual population growth rate markedly declined from 10.4% between 1975 and 1985 to 4.0% between 1995 and 2005. The corresponding figures for nationals were 9.5% (1975-1985) and 4.6% (1995-2005), whereas for non-nationals the figures were 10.6% (1975-1985) and 3.8% (1995-2005). The 2010 frame updating project indicates that the Abu Dhabi Emirate had very strong population growth between 2005 and 2010, with annual growth rates exceeding 7.7% per year.

4.4. Crime and Justice

The Emirate of Abu Dhabi pays special attention to the security for all citizens, residents and visitors. In this endeavor, the government applies best practices to confront any breach of law, regardless of whether the alleged offence is a crime or misdemeanor or any kind of disputes for both individuals and authorities. A strong focus on all types of law and order affords each member of the society, an environment that is safe and secure. It is also a firm platform for the continuing social and economic development in the emirate. This section of the report details official statistics that are relevant to crime and justice. Data arising from the 2010 period shows that the total number of crimes in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi was 63,005. The regional distribution of the population is also reflected in the incidence of crimes across the regions; with 62% of the crimes occurring in Abu Dhabi Region, 33% in Al Ain Region and 5% in the Western Region. The number of lawsuits, which were determined by courts in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi during 2010 was 410,384 cases, where the largest proportion are traffic violations due to the tightening of the penalties against violators of traffic regulations. The adjudication rate for all courts of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi (primary, appeal and cassation courts) has reached record levels of 99%. The number of lawsuits settled by the Alternative Dispute Settlement Committees of the Judiciary Department totaled 29,858 disputes in 2010, of which 68% were settled by dispute resolution committees, 28% by family guidance committees and 4% by the reconciliation committees. These committees have achieved admirable success in reaching out-of-court settlements between litigants. Civil Defence statistics show a general decline in first aid/rescue incidents from 518 cases in 2009 to 364 in 2010. Deaths reduced from 81 in 2009 to 72 in 2010, and injuries from 719 to 532 cases over the same period. However, the number of fires rose slightly in 2010, reaching 1,189 fire accidents. The overall decline in the number of accidents during 2010 is attributed to the creation of rapid intervention units, which aim to swiftly reach the scene of the fire to provide the highest standard of firefighting and rescue services.

6.2. Environment
The Emirate of Abu Dhabi is showing an increased interest in developing the fields of environment, environment protection, and the conservation of natural resources. Environmental statistics reflect that interest through revealing the impact of development and the resultant change in a number of key elements of environmental statistics, such as climate, air, water, and waste management. In 2010, the average minimum temperature of the Abu Dhabi Emirate was 23C while the average maximum temperature was 34.8C. Average annual rainfall decreased from 81.8 mm in 2009 to 23.2 mm in 2010. Average minimum relative humidity was 33.1% while average maximum relative humidity was 78.1%. Average atmospheric pressure was 1,008.7 hectopascal and the maximum daily solar radiation exceeded 8,000 Watt /m/h in some regions. Regarding air quality, the concentrations of air pollutants in 2010 were within their allowable limits in general except for particulate matter, with a diameter of 10 microns or less, where the annual average concentration reached 226.6 mcg/m3 in the region of Abu Dhabi, and the highest averages were recorded in the residential and industrial areas in the emirate. The quantity of treated wastewater in 2010 was 246.6 MCM. Abu Dhabi region accounts for about 74% of treated wastewater, while the share of Western Region did not exceed 3.6% of the total. The average withdrawal of groundwater decreased by 6.2% and reached 2,250.9 MCM. In 2010, there were 1259 cases of foodborne illnesses and food poisoning in the Abu Dhabi Emirate. Typhoid constituted 26.6% of the cases while Salmonella made up around 7% of the cases. The Emirate of Abu Dhabi generated more than 27.3 thousand tons of waste per day in 2010, which adds up to approximately 9.97 million tons annually. Construction and demolition waste constituted the highest percentage with 74% of the total amount of waste generated in the Emirate. Location and Area The Emirate of Abu Dhabi is located in the far west and southwest part of the United Arab Emirates along the southern cost of the Arabian Gulf between latitudes 22 40 and around 25 north and longitudes 51 and around 56 east. The total area of the Emirate is 67,340 square kilometres, occupying about some 87% of the total area of the UAE, excluding islands. The territorial waters of the Emirate embrace about 200 islands off its 700 kilometres coastline. The topography of the Emirate is dominated by low-lying sandy terrain dotted with sand dunes exceeding 300 metres in height in some areas southwards. The eastern part of the Emirate borders the western fringes of Al-Hajar Mountains. Hafeet Mountain, Abu Dhabis highest elevation, rising about 1,300 metres, is located south of Al Ain city.

Climate
The Emirate of Abu Dhabi is located in the tropical dry region. The Tropic of Cancer runs through the southern part of the Emirate, giving its climate an arid nature characterised by relatively high temperatures throughout the year, especially in summer. The Emirates high summer temperatures are associated with high relative humidity, especially in coastal areas. Abu Dhabi receives scant rainfall and has warm winters with occasionally low temperatures. There is a variation in temperatures between the coastal strip, the desert interior and areas of higher elevation that together make up the topography of the Emirate. Seasonal northerly winds blow across the country, helping to ameliorate the weather when they are not laden with dust, in addition to the brief moisture-laden south-easterly winds. The winds often vary between southerly, south-easterly, westerly, northerly and north westerly. Another characteristic of the Emirates weather is the high rate of evaporation of water due to several factors, namely wind speed, high temperature and low rainfall.

Air Statistics
Air pollution has health and environmental impacts on ecosystems and their inhabitants from humans, plants, and animals. Therefore the government of Abu Dhabi seeks to improve air quality and reduce emissions resulting from various economic activities; particularly those resulting from the burning of fossil fuels used in electricity production, transport or industry, or from the use of solvents in chemical and metal industries. Air pollution figures in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi are generally within the normal range. However, the readings vary with different locations: stations close to roads record high rates of pollution due to vehicle exhaust emissions. Likewise, readings taken within the vicinity of oil installations and industrial facilities are the highest in the Emirate. Generally, the concentrations of air pollutants in 2010 were within their allowable limits except for particulate matter, with a diameter of 10 microns or less, where the annual average concentration reached 226.6 mcg/m3 in the region of Abu Dhabi, and the highest averages were recorded in the residential and industrial areas in the emirate.

Water
The Emirate of Abu Dhabi pays particular attention to water activity as an essential part of its key priorities to preserve its natural resources since water is the basic for all economic, social, and sustainable environment development demands. The government of Abu Dhabi is working hard in increasing the awareness of the importance of water, its resources, and the rationalisation of water consumption by households or by Economic Activity, such as industry and agriculture. In 2010, the number of working wells in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi was 68,200 compared to 21,800 non-working wells according to estimations made by the Environment Agency - Abu Dhabi. The average withdrawal of groundwater reached 2,250.9 MCM in 2010, whereas the amount of groundwater reserves reached 636,620 MCM. The Western Region was the lowest producer of treated wastewater in 2010 accounting for only 3.6% of the Emirates total treated wastewater, while Abu Dhabi region ranked top in this regard, producing 74% of the total.

Waste
The interest in waste management and treatment increases with the increase of human and economic development. The growth and development of a sector correlates directly with the amount of waste generated from that sector. Consequently, an increasing need for safe and effective waste management system emerges along with waste recycling that contribute economic benefits to society and its economic sectors. Safe disposal of solid waste is one of the challenging issues that societies and developing countries are facing in order to reduce health risks and environmental damages that can result from improper disposal of waste, especially hazardous waste.
