Rural areas form a large part of Syria's coastal area. Linking between these areas and city
centers transact of a network of roads. Each of these roads and transport means form the
rural transport system which characterized by general characteristi
cs of low levels of
traffic, economic activity and population density, and long distances between centers such
as service centers. The presenting of services, operations and maintenance characterize at
high costs, and there are often difficult geographical and natural conditions.
Vehicle operating costs refer to costs that vary with vehicle usage, including fuel, tires,
maintenance, repairs…etc., which dependent on the mileage.
Transportation agencies and maintenance workshops were visited during this study. As
well as, interviews have been done with a random sample of public transport drivers
working on some rural axes in the coastal area, in order to obtain the required information
about the vehicle operating and maintenance costs.
The study concluded by identifying the most important factors that may effect on the tariff
of passenger transport on rural axes (maintenance of the vehicle, fuel costs, quality of the
road .....) and proposing a number of recommendations aimed at improving the public
transport system and raising its efficiency in rural areas.
the aim of this study was to highlight the reality of some tourist
establishments-work. In addition to identifying the most challenges facing
investors in this area.
Agricultural development projects are a vital and effective tool in
achieving the goal of comprehensive development, and the most
effective way to improve rural life in all its fields, especially when
development projects target poor rural househo
lds. The research has
intended to identify the social impact of livestock development
project, It was conducted on small livestock farmers In the Midland
Area , A random sample was used to include (11) villages in Homs
governorate and two villages in Hama governorate. The sample size
was 75 beneficiaries.
The research has intended to identify the economic impact of
Livestock Development project, which pursued small raisers in the
middle region, A class random sample was used to include (11)
villages from Homs governorate and (2) villages from Hama
governorate. This sample actually contained (75) beneficiaries of
project by taking percentage (12%) from total number of the
beneficiaries, whereas total number of the beneficiaries' project was

The study states that the rural community at the Syrian coast witnessed actually
group of changes that were in touch with many sides of its structure and different
functions, thus takeoff of the first light sparks was as an indication of the rural

The study got to a conclusion stating that: entering electricity into the coastal
countryside resulted truly in extension of utilization area in the agricultural field and public
service, and then electricity provided the objective pivots to attain the countryside stability,
and pushed the development wheel of its possibilities forward just as the urbanized
community, because the sustainable development is completely and continuously societal
operation.
In spite of the important changing role that electricity played in the rural
developmental operation, but the ambition is still larger in extending the utilization of this
type of energy densely in both agricultural industry and tourist industry sectors, where all
basic factors of promoting these two sectors in the coastal countryside are available, what
ensure a rich source for supporting the national economy that consequently sustains the
national returns of the foreign currency and forms a prop in the operation of attaining
requirements of social welfare of the entire society.

Human Resources. Which has a crucial impact on the ve
rge of
sustainable development. This study investigated to describe the
rural woman`s activities. Moreover, the study aimed to define the
most important challenges and difficulties affronting of rural
development women in the studied area. According to the study,
the most of the economic activities carried out by women
contribute to a very good part of the family income, although there
are ranges of challenges that hinder the expansion of this activity.

absence of the Women's Union efficiency and rural Extension. As
well as the lack of loans for supporting the economic activities
carried out by women and other classified challenges.
The study has been done during the period 2014/2015 by field study and by using
data from government instituations of the area and data collected by questionair the
study has concluded some economic indicators of the area development : the percapit
a
income was 293 sp/aday = 1.63 $/aday . So it was below the global provety line (2 us $
aday) but higher than the global extreme poverty line.and this means that the
percaptia income permonth was 8790 sp , which is below the percaptia
income permonth (14.068sp) and that the government jobs contributed by
83% of the overall area income while the contribution of the agriculture was
only 11.4% and of water business was 5.6 % . Also, the study also showed
that borrowing has played a significant role in improving the quality of life ,
and that there was iequlity in the distribution of income as shown by Lorenz
curve and thevalue of Gini coefficient of income distribution 0.46 .
Rural transport is one of the basic requirements imposed by the daily life conditions,
so it should be has of certain conditions and basic standards which it purposed of achieving
customer satisfaction and reach the level of a certain quality of se
rvice provided by rural
public transport. For that, Many studies were focusing on a number of most important
criteria such as the waiting periods, comfort, safety, adherence regular capacity of bus,
commitment tariff set for the fare, In addition to the commitment to a specific time.
In this research, interviews with a random sample of residents of Sheikh Badr City
were producted in order to obtain the information needed to evaluation the quality and
appropriateness of public transport services on the line of Tartous-Sheikh Badr. After that
we recorded the data obtained and analyzed the results using the program (excel). One of
the most important results that we have obtained is the length of the waiting period, which
ranged from 50-60 minutes.

The rural roads are a large part of the existing roads network, particularly that
consisting of two-lane. Evaluation of traffic performance for two-way, two-lane rural roads
is complex process due to their characteristics. Many performance measures
were
introduced by many authors in many countries to fit the local conditions.
This research presents an empirical evaluation of the relationship between
operational performance and platooning phenomenon in rural two-lane roads in Tartous.
Six performance measures and three platooning variables were defined and calculated for
ten study sites using traffic data from rural roads in Ash-Shaykh Badr region of Tartous
governorate. Using graphical and statistical analyses, the associations between the
performance measures and the platooning variables were examined.
The platooning variables investigated, traffic flow in the direction of travel has the
highest correlations with performance measures. As the overall findings confirmed that the
follower density is the most characterization of the relationship between traffic
performance and platooning, which is suitable for the study of operational performance.
