Since the armed conflict in Syria in 2011 the influx of Syrian refugees has brought about large stress on the wastewater management facilities which cause overflows of wastewater and ceptage and insufficient wastewater treatment in the northern governorates in Jordan. In order to improve the sewerage service in northern governorates, the study has been initiated. 2. The Study is undertaken to formulate a master plan for sewerage system in order to identify the required improvements for the sewerage services in the Study area (Irbid, Ramtha, and Mafraq, refer to Figure 1.2 and 1.3 for locations), where the Syrian refugees are largely settled in the largest urban areas in the northern governorates. The Master Plan presents a sewerage development plan meeting the wastewater generation of 2035 Jordanian population, considering current level of Syrian refugees. 3. Even before the influx of Syrian Refugees, Water Authority of Jordan (WAJ) has developed and improved sewerage facilities to collect, convey and treat the wastewater generated in the Study area. At the Central Irbid wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) and Mafraq WWTP, the wastewater treatment process are modified enable to use the effluents for irrigation purposes and the construction work are underway. 4. Planning basis set for six sewerage district (SWD) are as shown below.

The economic evaluation is carried out based on the benefits and costs. The evaluation reveals that the EIRR of the project results in 18.6% as a whole, which exceed 10% of the opportunity cost of capital though the EIRRs vary from SWD to SWD. Therefore, the project is judged to be economically feasible. 8. The financial evaluation is carried out based on the revenues and costs. The evaluation reveals the S-3 FIRRs of every SWD do not exceed 6% of the opportunity cost of capital. And the project results in - 11.6% as a whole. It is apparent that the low level of present sewerage tariff and the huge project costs are the major reasons for the negative FIRR. Therefore the increase of sewerage tariff and the government grant to a part of the project cost are recommended to make the project financially feasible. Meanwhile, even though tariff increase and grants, the project net cash flow will be negative until the end of the phase-3. For this, the WAJ subsidies are required until the phase-3 to sustain the project financially. 10. The phase-1 project of Central Irbid SWD is recommended to implement as soon as possible, because the proposed sludge dewatering facilities for Central Irbid SWD are essential to treat and dispose of properly.

  • ANALYZING the PREVALENCE of ILLICIT DRUG USE in JORDAN's RURAL TOWNS: the GOVERNORATES of JERASH and AJLOUN AS CASE STUDIES Dr
    International Journal of Sociology and Anthropology Research Vol.4, No.1, pp.1-9, February 2018 ___Published by European Centre for Research Training and Development UK (www.eajournals.org ANALYZING THE PREVALENCE OF ILLICIT DRUG USE IN JORDAN'S RURAL TOWNS: THE GOVERNORATES OF JERASH AND AJLOUN AS CASE STUDIES Dr. Basem Al Atom Department of Humanities, Jordan University of Science & Technology, PO Box 3030, Irbid, Irbid 22110, Jordan ABSTRACT: Jordan is not typically at the center of global concern regarding illicit drug prevalence. However, in recent years – and presumably since the onset of the Syria Civil War – the prevalence of illicit drugs in Jordan has become an important issue. While the question regarding whether this presence is due to Jordan historically being used by traffickers as a trafficking hub – or whether illicit drugs have indeed gained a foothold amongst Jordanian youth – remains, analysis of this issue is necessary in order to better understand this contemporary issue. Interestingly, rural areas such as towns within the governorates of Jerash and Ajloun (in northern Jordan) are at least anecdotally said to have a high prevalence of drug use within them. While no official government data is available to illustrate the prevalence of illicit drugs per governorate, and social stigma associated with addiction prevents the opportunity for extensive interviews to take place with those struggling with addiction, a plethora of media reports are available that provide insight into this pressing issue, in addition to limited anonymous interview access with individuals struggling with addiction. Accordingly, this research article will use interviews and content analysis as methodologies to both analyze available media excerpts to better determine whether illicit drug use is indeed becoming more prevalent amongst Jordanian youth or whether the rise in the presence of illicit drugs in Jordan is due to increased trafficking as a result of border security issues related to the Syrian Civil War.

    Journal of Sociology and Social Work December 2019, Vol. 7, No. 2, pp. 115-125 ISSN: 2333-5807 (Print), 2333-5815 (Online) Copyright © The Author(s). All Rights Reserved. Published by American Research Institute for Policy Development DOI: 10.15640/jssw.v7n2a12 URL: https://doi.org/10.15640/jssw.v7n2a12 Emerging trends in the Jordanian Host Community: Service Delivery Gaps, Ethnographic Shifts and Social Tension: a Field Study in the Governorates of Jerash and Ajloun Dr. Basem Al Atom1 Abstract This field research study examines the underlying causes of social tension between Syrian refugees and the Jordanian host community in Northern Jordan. It does so, moreover, within the framework of the current shift being undertaken by international and local non-governmental organizations from an emergency response to Syrian refugees to a development response. Specifically, such a shift brings with it an increased focus on livelihoods as a means of sustainable economic empowerment. With a focus on livelihoods, however, comes an increase in the potential for tension between employers and employees. Furthermore, this tension complements an already-existing tension that exists between landlords and tenants. Understanding the sources of these types of conflict will help mitigate against future tensions and better facilitate social cohesion amongst Syrian refugees and the Jordanian host community. Keywords: Syrian refugees, host communities, social cohesion, social tension, dispute resolution 1. Introduction This research study provides an overview and analysis of research undertaken between February 2018 and April 2018. The purpose of this report is to examine the underlying causes of social tension between Syrian refugees and the Jordanian host community in Northern Jordan, and to help mitigate against future tensions and better facilitate social cohesion between these two communities.

ABSTRACT This study investigates how the diverse archaeology of Jordan can be presented to different segmentations of visitors. As a country with abundant archaeological resources and heritage potential for tourism industry, there should be serious consideration toward the management and development of such resources in order to preserve them for future generations on the one hand and to provide economic benefits both to the local community and the national economy. The diversification of heritage tourism packages, and proposals for different alternatives among the potential of variety of different heritage sources, is one of the more efficient ways of spreading the load across the major sites in the country. As a case study, the creation of a tourist trail among the Decapolis cities is outlined since these cities form an important component of the history of Jordan and exploring their variety and diversity may give them further meaning and significance.
