Abstract

The research aims at identifying the patterns of the respondents in the
activities of valley development, identifying the level of participation of
respondents in the activities of valley development, and determining the
relationship between the level of Bedouin participation in the activities of
valley development and some independent variables.
The research was carried out in three valleys: Wadi Al Kharouba,
Wadi Beheiry and Wadi El-Afrit from the technical support centers in Morsi
Matruh, Ras Al-Hikma and Sidi Barani respectively, due to the
developmentprojects implemented during the period from 2014 to 2017. A
simple random sample of (90) respondents distributed on the three valleys (35,
25 and 30) were randomly selected, each with 50% of the total number of
beneficiaries in the three valleys. Data were collected during the period from August 2017 using personal interview. Percentages arithmetic mean, standard
deviation, simple correlation coefficient, and Chi square test were used for
presentation and data analysis.
The results of the research showed that the activity of the construction
of dusty dams was ranked first in terms of the percentage of the total
participation of the respondents in the development of valleys, followed by the
activity of planting horticultural trees and then the construction of cement
dams, and that more than two thirds of the respondents participate moderately
in the development activities of valleys Results also revealed a significant
correlation between the level of participation of the respondents in the
development activities of the valleys and some of the studied variables: the
agricultural pattern of the valley, the size of the agricultural holding size, the
standard of living, Acquisition of agricultural machinery, degree of perception
of climate changes, and animal holdings size.
