Abstract

The research aimed to determine the degree to which rural families implement the mechanisms of living adaptation, those related to spending and consumption rationalization, social support and protection, work, employment, agricultural production, finance and lending. Also, to determine the degree of their awareness of the effects of the increase in prices, and the relationship between the respondents' characteristics and the level of their families' living adaptation mechanisms. The research was carried out with a sample size of 160 families in one of the villages of Gharbia Governorate. The interview questionnaire was used to collect data during the months of February and March 2022. The data was used for statistical analysis of numerical enumeration tables, percentages, weighted average, and chi-square test. The most important results of the research: The increase in the respondents' adoption of spending and consumption rationalization mechanisms in the following items: fuel and energy with a weighted average of 2.27 degrees, food 2.23 degrees, health and recreation 2.21 degrees, education 2.06 degrees, clothing 2.05 degrees. The percentages of respondents in the category of high level of living adaptation mechanisms reached 45.6% for agricultural production, support and social protection 32.5%, lending and financing 26.3%, employment and work 23.1%. The highest percentage of respondents, 61.9%, falls in the category of high level of knowledge of the effects of the price increase. It shows the significance of the relationship between some characteristics of the respondents and the level of their implementation of the studied living adaptation mechanisms.
