Abstract

This study aimed at trying to reveal the effects of the movement of rural families on agricultural development and production in North Sinai (an environment study on Bir Al-Abd Area - North Sinai) to know the opinions of rural families and those concerned with this matter and to make a set of recommendations that would reduce the negative effects of this phenomenon. The researcher used the descriptive analytical approach to collect and analyze data through a questionnaire, it was analyzed statistically using statistical programs (SPSS). The study results showed that economic, social, and environmental conditions have a direct impact on the transition of rural families from rural to urban. Moreover, the most prominent effects of this transition is the occurrence of a state of imbalance in population densities between rural and urban areas which causes an increase in poverty and unemployment rates. Therefore, the study recommends the Government and those all who concerned should make developed rural residential communities that have all services available to overcome this problem.
