Abstract

The research aimed to identify the social characteristics of the respondents in the research area, and to estimate their level of awareness of the studied sub-axes of environmental risks, as well as to determine the correlation between that level and their studied independent variables, and to test the combined effect of them. It consists of 240 respondents, representing 10% of the Bedouin population in the villages selected for research in the centers of that governorate. The field data was collected by personal interview with the respondents using a questionnaire form prepared to obtain the data required by the nature of the research problem and research objectives, during the period from October 2020 to January 2021. In their analysis, ratios, frequency distribution tables, range, mode, arithmetic mean, standard deviation, proportional congruence coefficient and Chibro coefficient were used. The results showed that the general average of the average levels of respondents' awareness of the studied sub-axes of environmental risks in the research area reached (1.74) degrees, with a percentage of (87.0%) of the total degree of respondents' awareness of each of the eighty-eight elements related to the twelve units that make up the four sub-axes. The studied environmental risks in the research area are in the high category. It was also shown from the results that the four studied sub-axes of environmental risks in the research area can be arranged in descending order according to the average percentage of the average level of awareness of the respondents as follows: The farm environment axis (91.5%), then the home environment axis (87.0%), then the social environment axis (85.5%), and finally, the natural environment (83.0%), with a general average of knowledge of those axes of (87.0%).
