II. The problem of study:
The researchers suggest that dualism in villages’ socio-economic structure in Egypt is likely to bring different responses of rural population when they are exposed to same program or project of development. So far, it is not clear to what extent is this hypothesis valid to consider at both theoretical and empirical levels. Accordingly, planners and practitioners of development should consider the relationship between these two aspects, if it turned true, when planning for development of rural areas.
III. Objective:
This paper aims to investigate the significance of differences of some main socio-economic characteristics of rural settlements in old and new reclaimed lands. Meanwhile, it tests the significance of differences …show more content…
The reliability of the total attitude scale of 55 items with Cronbach 's Alpha reached 0.842 while it reached 0.781 for the population attitude scale of 23 items and only 0.657 for the environmental/economic attitude that included 26 items. The other 6 items were related to the attitude towards the project. The measure was part of a schedule that included measures of some other variables related to the socio-economic characteristics of the respondent’s household. The schedule was applied on the sample by well-trained field researchers using the personal interview with the …show more content…
Thus, there are four variables measured by interval scales which are the average size of the household farm holding, the household size, the average age and the educational status, while the other two variables of occupation and marital statuses were measured by nominal
