General Discussion and Conclusion of Study Recomendations Appendix (Cross-tables - Questionnaire). Introduction In spite of the over population problem which Egypt faces, many theoretical and academic studies have been conducted on this problem. Meanwhile the applied research about this problem is very little which indicates no balance between the problem and the member of applied studies. In the past few years, many private association, have contributed in this field beside governnental efforts in order to overcome this problem. Family of the future is considered as one of the pioneers in this field for its efforts and activities to achieve the objectives of the national policy of population FOF started its activities 3 years ago (in 1979). It specifies a great part of its activities for the awareness of the population problem in general and the usage of contraceptives in particular. FOF plans mainly to arhieve this goal through the rallies which are held in over-populated areas,especially in the urban areas which are characterized with high birth rates. Another important activity of FOF is directed towards providing physicians and pharmacists with contraceptives at reasonable prices for consumers. The FOF research department conducted research studies to explore public physicians and pharmacists attitudes towards FOF products and its distribution system. The findings of these research studies has assisted in constructing its policy and future plans . The current research aims are to study the relation between FOF, rallies and their effects on the distribution system among physicians and pharmacists. Subject of the Study The main objective of FOF rallies is to inform people about the population problem and family planning methods. -2- FOF believes that this will increase the sales of its products and, also raise the usage efficiency. To continue the rallies activity, we have to be sure that.the costs and efforts of conducting rallies is proportionate with its effectiveness on sales. For future plans it is important to answer the following question: Did rallies achieve its goal and increase the distributed quantities of contraceptives? The answer of this question is the main goal of our study. Objectives of the Study The purpose of this study in general is to identify the relation between the FOF rallies which were held in greater Cairo in 1982 and the distributed amounts during the same year. The Objectives of the Study are: 1. Identify the rallies effectiveness on increasing attendants'intormation about contraceptives and also the suitability of this information. 2. The effect of attending rallies on using contraceptives in general and FOF products in particular. Identify the relation between time sequence of rallies and the demand of contraceptives. 4. Identify the relation between the geographicall distribution of raliies and the flow of demand of contraceptives. I. Methodology 1. Sample selection 2. Study tools 3. Data collection 4. Analysis. II.

Geographical distribution and time sequence of rallies which were held during 1982. 2. The relation between number of rallies and number of attendants and the sales quantities of FOF products. IV. Conclusion and Reccmendations. I. Methodology 1. Saple Selection The samplinS population of this study is the public who attended the FOF rallies in greater Cairo during 1982. According to the FOF recorded data, FOF conducted 906 rallies with (53861) attendants (males and fenales). These rallies were held in (28) geographical areas in greater Cairo. The sample was selected in two steps: 1. The three areas with the highest niuber of rallies were selected from the 28 areas of greater Cairo. These areas are: Shoubra, Tababa and Giza. 229 rallies with 13740 attendants were held in the above three areas during 1982. This is equal to 25.3% from the total number of rallies and 25.5% from the total number of attendants. 2. A stratified random sample was drawn from the FOF list of rallies'attendants during 1982. This sample consisted of (158) attendants (80 males and 78 females). To achieve the objectives of this study a control purposive sample of (162) persons (82 males and 80 females) who never attend FOF rallies was randomly selected fron the same three areas. This means that the total sample consisted of (320) persons. II.Study Tools A. Recorded Data This study depends on the FOF available recorded data about number of rallies, number of attendants, and distributed quatities of FOF products during 1982. These products are: IUD copper T, copper 7, "Amman" foaming tablets and "Topps" Condum. B. Questionnaire A quastionnaire has been designed including parts about demographic information, knowledge about family planning and FOF association, sources of getting contraceptives, and suggestions about rallies and contraceptive methods. This questionnaire has been tested anong 32 cases, and according to the pre-test results the questionnaire was modified. (A copy of this questionnaire is attached in the Appendix). C. Individual Interviews Individual interviews were held among FOF medical representatives and distributers to obtain extra information about rallies and distribution systems to integrate with field study data. III. Data Collection Ten FOF trained volunteers carried out the field work in three weeks, and at the sane time three researchers tabulated the FOF recorded data Ii,five weeks. The office and field data check have been done during March 1983. Three expert researchers conducted the individual interviews during April 1.983. IV. Analysli 1. Analysis of variations in the quarterly data of the distributed quantities of FOF products to physicians and pharmacists during 1982. This is done by calculating the weighted geamatric means for this data. 2. Analysis of variations in the quarterly nunbers rallies which were held during 1982 in the (28) areas.

    Mr. Mohamed Kamal El Din Barakat Chairman During the fiscal year 2004/2005, the Egyptian government undertook significant structural reforms to the financial and monetary policies that led to an increase in the GDP (gross domestic product) growth rate to 5.1% compared to 4.2% in the previous year as well as a reduction of the inflation rate to 4.7%. Furthermore, the foreign exchange markets witnessed stability and the monetary reserves of foreign currencies increased to more than $20 Billion. This improvement was reflected upon all market sectors including banking. Consequently, it impacted Banque Misr's financial achievements for this year where total assets had grown by 17.3% to reach L.E 106.8 billion. As for the deposits, they grew by 16.3% to reach L.E 93.2 Billion and the shareholders' equity increased by 2.6% to reach L.E 3.5 Billion. Concerning loans, the total loans portfolio grew by 3.8% to reach L.E 37.8 billion. Furthermore, the bank continued its support for small and micro finance projects by offering credit facilities engaging higher employment rates for economy support. The financial investments increased by 26% to reach L.E. 39.1 Billion. In this context, the Bank's newly introduced investment fund with daily current revenue (day by day account) was highly accepted by the customers. This was reflected by the increase of its net value from L.E. 200 Million on its issuance date during August 2004 to reach more than L.E. 2 Billion by the end of July 2005, the total profits before provisions and taxes increased by 74.3% to reach L.E.

    448 Urban Regeneration and Sustainability URBAN REGENERATION OF PUBLIC SPACE – AL-ALFI STREET – DOWNTOWN CAIRO S. ATTIA, Z. SHAFIK, A. EL HALAFAWY & H.A. KHALIL Department of Architecture, Faculty of Engineering, Cairo University, Egypt. ABSTRACT Urban regeneration has been an accepted strategy for reviving city centers around the globe in Western Developed settings and in developing cities for decades. In Cairo, post January 25th Revolution, the Egyptian government sought an approach to upgrade several sites in downtown classical Cairo, to set new conditions for use of public space, to redistribute the power of authority and re-define the rules for the claim of public space of the city. The Cairo Governorate officially launched many projects within the same period; mainly focusing on refurbishing squares and streets, facades face lifting, control- ling vendors’ trespassing and regulating car parking space among other regulations within Downtown area. However, having accepted and acknowledged the governmental intentions of the regeneration projects a question poses itself as to ‘How the community perceives and cherishes those initiatives?’ More important questions are raised regarding the regeneration of Al Alfi Street, the case study that addresses the governmental attempt in down town Cairo in 2015. It brings to light the dynamics enacted between different stakeholders. A research is conducted by adopting participant observations, surveys, questionnaires, and interviews with the local community and different stakeholders to understand their perception and appreciation to the ‘2015’ urban regeneration attempt. The findings of the paper set the urban regeneration principles in a discussion aiming at assessing the stakeholders’ involvement versus their goals and measuring their satisfaction with the outcome of the project, while still posing the ques- tion of the meaning of urban regeneration to the local community and to alternative scenarios that could yield more successful outcomes.

Preparatory Work The candidate survey locations were visited several times to: • Select a suitable location for each survey station. • Determine the required manpower of surveyors and supervisors • Sketch the site and its surrounding features. The following precautions were considered when selecting the survey locations: • The survey site has to be on a straight part of the road to provide sufficient sight distance for the surveyor to see the coming vehicles and to secure the safety of the survey team. • The survey site should be on a level road section to avoid the increase in vehicle speed in the down-grade direction which may increase the hazards possibility against the survey team. • The survey site has to be on an illuminated section as possible to provide adequate vision to the survey team during dark periods of the survey works and maintain safety aspects to the survey team. • The survey site has to be easily accessible by optimizing the transport process of the survey team to/from each site. • A detailed sketch for each survey station site should be prepared by the site supervisors. (1) Locations of Traffic Count Survey A total of 17 traffic count stations were, originally, selected to carry out the manual classified count (MCC) for two days during 18 hours starting from 6:00 A.M. till 12:00 A.M. These count stations can be classified into two major categories. The first category (10 bridges) is represented by a screenline along the Nile River.
