Abstract

This study sought to identify the perceptions of An-Najah National University students towards the democratic practices of faculty members in it. In addition, the study examined whether these students’ perceptions differed according to sex, college, place of living and cumulative average variables. To these two ends, the researcher developed a questionnaire and administered it to the sample. The 40-item questionnaire revolved around the students’ perceptions towards the democratic practices of the faculty members. The population of the study was all An-Najah National University (16,000 men and women students). A randomly chosen sample was drawn from the population. The total sample amounted to 800 students of both sexes.

The study raised the following question and tested the following hypothesis.

What are the perceptions of An-Najah National University students towards the democratic practices of the faculty members?

There are no statistically significant differences at α =0.05 in the perceptions of An-Najah National University students towards the democratic practices of the faculty members which may be attributed to variables of sex, college, place of living, and cumulative average.

After data collection and analysis it was found that the over all score of students’ perceptions of the democratic practices of faculty members was average. The percentage of response of the total score was 62.0%. It was also found that there were statistically significant differences at α =0.05 in the perceptions of students towards the democratic practices of faculty members in the domains of fairness and equality among students and method of teaching. The overall score, between males and females, was in favor of males. However, no statistically significant differences were found in the domains of freedom of expression, academic course which might be attributed to variable of sex.

In addition, there were no statistically significant differences at α =0.05 in the overall score of students’ perceptions towards the democratic practices of faculty members between males and females in favor of males which might be attributed to college variable. However, there were statistically significant differences at α =0.05 in the score of the students’ perceptions of the faculty members’ democratic practices in the domains of equality and fairness between city students and village and refugee camp students in favor of city students. No statistically significant differences, however, were found in the domains of freedom of expression, academic course and method of teaching which might be attributed to the variable of place of living.

Finally, there were statistically significant differences at α =0.05 in the score of students’ perceptions of faculty members’ democratic practices which might attributed to the cumulative average variable in favor of those who had very good and excellent students.

In the light of these findings, the researcher recommends the following:

· Holding regular cultural and intellectual seminars for faculty members with the participation of both parties in the university to foster concepts of democratic life, values, and practices.

· Supporting and reinforcing student union practices and enhancing democratic values in the contexts and trends in these practices and working towards the purifying of the atmospheres of these practices from anti-democratic values.

· Fostering democratic principles and finding ways to achieve them on the university campus for teachers, students and administrative team.

Conducting further studies on democratic practices and students’perceptions of these practices at other Palestinian universities.

Abstract :

Urbanization is one of the major issues facing mankind today and is in its extent unique in world history. Neither international government bodies nor national or local governments are well prepared to deal appropriately with this development but none of them can afford to ignore this phenomenon. It is expected that by 2020, 40-45% of the poor in the Palestinian territories will be concentrated in towns and cities such as Nablus. The population projections showed that more 424,400 inhabitants will be served by the Metropolitan Nablus municipality in the year 2025. The rapid increase of population almost accompanying with the increase demand on food, space , water, job opportunities and renewable resources. The huge estimated quantities of consumed food by Nablus dwellers estimated in year 2000 at 38,584 tons will defiantly increase making the situation more complicated for the city planner to secure the city from the food consumption point of view, construction of suitable roads, storage facilities, lands for cultivation, and preserving enough water for irrigation. However, in the light of water scarcity which jumped from – 1,322 m³ per year in 2005 into -30,697 m³ per day in year 2025, and the decrease of the per capita available land from 150 m² in year 1989 to 78 m² in year 2000 in the light of high percentage of unemployed inhabitants, will complicate the problems of city planning. This research which aimed at introducing urban agriculture as a tool for city planning have had investigated the impact and methods of such and as appropriate mitigation measure against major city problems in the city planning have a huge important conclusions leading to multiple scenarios to mitigate the problems of immigration of rural people to the city center and against the environmental hazards associated with urbanization such as the increase of solid wastes amounts, untreated waste water and many others. It is important to involve the multiple stakeholders in urban development utilizing urban agriculture as a tool for city planning due to its significant capabilities in preserving the environment, reforming the land use, mitigate random immigration, offering job opportunities. Representatives including municipal departments, NGO's, local leaders, village councils, private sector, academic or research and interested institutions must be involved in the planning processes is essential in order to address the needs and priorities of the different stakeholders involved, as well as the specific socio-economic and political-institutional context in each locality in order to allow better quality decision finding and making, improving likelihood of implementation and give the process a higher credibility for implementation. The local, provincial and national governments play a key role, ensuring the availability and secure tenure of land and water, access to public services, approval of regulations and standards, at the different levels of government are already engaged in many areas of service provision and regulation, such as urban planning, water treatment, waste collection, management of green spaces, which have direct interactions with urban agriculture. Finally, the methodological approach adopted during the preparation of this vital research was including the data gathering and analysis using SWOT analysis techniques and many other calculations using the basic computer software packages. The basic data was collected from different and wide sources of information including newspapers, reports, books, magazines, articles and many others.

Abstract :

In Palestine, failure to account for long-term scenarios of water availability is a concern given the potential for severe drought and the continuing misallocation of water rights and water distributions as well as the lack of policies to support integrated water resources management. Analysis to assess how to design future water resources, facilities, and management scenarios based on future measures and management practices as well as rainfall patterns for Palestine are investigated. This research focuses on building an IWRM model for Al Far'a catchment using WEAP program. After collecting all the required data and studying the existing situation, different scenarios are suggested here. Population growth was taken in to account in this work. The burgeoning population growth in Palestine is crucial to integrated water resources planning and management and is expected to increase the stresses on the already scarce water resources. The last step was calibrating the model to get the best fit model and better accuracy. Projection of these data into the future was approximated through many strenuous built-in relationships in WEAP model to assess the future water states. Thus, annual, and decadal future water availability is projected, characterized, and examined to support efficient and effective scenarios to sustain water resources management. This analysis of scenarios assessment and best management practices evaluation is performed for Al-Far'a watershed. Wherein, integrated water resource planning models that can simultaneously aggregate and process hydrologic and management elements are of paramount importance to aid decision planners evaluate the tradeoffs and priorities under different hydrologic realities and management objectives. The utility of the analysis to highlight the need for alternative water supplies; to quantify groundwater recharge; to evaluate water conservation and fair water allocation policies; and to provide guidelines for future non-traditional water supply projects are also presented and discussed.
