Ansari Department of Chemical Engineering, College of Engineering, University of Bahrain, Sukhair Campus, Kingdom of Bahrain. E-mail: [email protected]. Tel: +973-3944-1110. Accepted 18 April, 2012 Waste management has been acknowledged as one of Bahrain’s biggest challenges due to its impending effects regarded as detrimental to the country. Data gathered within the past thirty years have all revealed significant increases on waste quantity generated in the country along the categories of residential, commercial, institutional, construction and demolition, municipal services, public areas, treatment plant sites, industrial, and agricultural wastes. The limited land area, characterised by Bahrain’s small geographical space, is the biggest factor that contributes to the problem of managing the increasing waste accumulation of the country and finding sustainable systems of waste management. As such, the growing need to refurbish the current system of municipal solid waste management utilised in the country is the focus of this study. Sustainable waste management systems through the adoption of Integrated Solid Waste Management (ISWM) is analysed as a probable solution towards solving the hazards and complexities posed by current waste management problems. Existing literature inclusive of all available sources of information used to analyse current waste management systems in the country, as well as a series of interviews and household surveys, have been utilized to develop an ISWM system that fits the current trends and needs of Bahrain.

  • Factors Influencing Consumer Behavior of Women Within the SPA & Beauty Sector: a Case in the Kingdom of Bahrain
    Journal of Business and Retail Management Research (JBRMR), Vol. 13 Issue 4 July 2019 Factors influencing consumer behavior of women within the SPA & beauty sector: A case in the Kingdom of Bahrain Mukhtar Al-Hashimi Shaikha Mubarak AlDhari Ahlia University, College of Business and Finance, Bahrain . Keywords Cultural factors, personal, Spa, social, service criterions Abstract Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to examine the behavior of women in Bahrain as consumers in the field of Spa & Beauty services. Design/methodology/approach: Sample of 384 is divided using a sampling ratio into the four main governorates of Bahrain and a combination of Chi-square & eta correlation along with Pearson product moment correlation is used. Findings: The study found that there is a significant relationship between all the demographical aspects of females except for education with behavior. It was also observed that self-expression along with achieving ideal self-image are highly perceived personal factors when selecting beauty and spa treatments, although null hypostasis with regard to personal, social, cultural, service criterion factors were accepted, it was found that demographics as an integral part of personal factors are significantly correlated to selection of spa services. The other groups of factors variables were also significantly correlated to the selection of the Spa service. Practical implications: This study suggested that Spa owners should fully recognize the factors that really contribute in shaping the behavior of consumers in the Spa industry such as the importance of complementary services as well as designing an ideal spa service mix that matches the needs and wants of women consumers in the Kingdom of Bahrain.

  • Parliamentary and Municipal Elections in Bahrain 2006: Islamic Sunnis Are Leading the Second Elections in Bahrain
    Parliamentary and municipal elections in Bahrain 2006: Islamic Sunnis are leading the second elections in Bahrain 13 December 2006 The first round The results of the Bahraini parliamentary and municipal elections were a frustration to more than 25 former Bahraini deputies who re-nominated themselves. Only six of them won. The elections were frustrating also to the women. Out of 16 women candidates, only one woman won by acclaim while the other women lost. None of these women were qualified for the rerun. Meanwhile, the Islamic national Accord [Wifaq] Society won 15 seats out of a total of 26 seats. This was confirmed by the final results of the first round elections. The total number of candidates who ran for parliamentary elections reached 207 candidates who nominated themselves in 39 electoral constituencies while 13 candidates announced their withdrawal from the electoral battle. The candidates competed for 40 House of Representatives seats. Meanwhile, 171 candidates competed in the municipal elections for 40 seats in five municipal councils in Bahrain’s five governorates. Surprises as violent as a thunderbolt were reported during the elections. Most former parliamentary figures lost the election. The most important of these were the first deputy speaker of the House of Representatives Abdul Hadi Marhoon, who won 300 votes only compared to his competitor who obtained 4,000 votes. The results of the elections also showed the loss of the chairmen of the financial and foreign committees. No second Bahraini woman won. The only woman winner was Latifah al-Qu’ud who won by acclaim. Moreover, Sulaiman Abbawi, the first Christian to run for municipal elections, lost.
