The Data on Periodical (Weekly) Market at the End of the 19Th Century in Egypt -The Cases of Qaliubiya, Sharqiya and Daqahliya Provinces The Data on Periodical (Weekly) Market at the End of the 19th Century in Egypt -The cases of Qaliubiya, Sharqiya and Daqahliya Provinces Hiroshi Kato Some geographers and historians are concerned with periodical market, which they define as the place of economic transactions peculiar to so called "peasant society. In Egypt, which is, as well known, a typical hydraulic society, periodical market, that is weekly market (α1- siiq al-usbu i) in the Islamic world, still has the important economic functions in rural areas at the present, as well as it had in the past. The author is now collecting the data on Egyptian weekly market from the 19th century to the present, based upon source materials on one hand, and field research on the other. The aim of this paper is to present some statistical and ge0- graphical data on Egyptian weekly market at the end of the 19th century to the researchers who are interested in periodical market in agrarian society, before the intensive study, which the author is planning in the future, on the economic functions of Egyptian weekly market and their transformation in the process of the modernization of Egyptian society. The source material from which the data are collected is A. Boinet, Geographie Econ0- mique et Administrative de I'Egypte, Basse-Egypte I, Le Caire, 1902. It is the results of the population census in 1897 and the agrarian census maybe took in 1898 and 1899, being annexed to the population census in the previous year. The data are arranged village by village, and contain the statistics on cultivated area, crops, planted trees, animals, industry, traffic by rail- road, and transportation by the Nile and canals, and the descriptive informations and remarks on school, canal, railroad, market, post office and so on. This volume, that is the sole one, although the other volumes were predicted to be published, deals only three Provinces in East Delta, namely (〕aliubiya, Sharqiya and Daqahliya Provinces which include 155, 395, and 468 villages respectively. But fortunately, these three Provinces are the enough cases for comparative study by region at least as for Lower Egypt, because they represent three different types of region; the Qaliubiya is the central region characterized by high population density, intensive production in agriculture and the deep penetration of commercial economy, of which region near to Cairo was swallowed up in the urbanization of Cairo in the 20th century. The Daqahhya is the 80 H.KATO agrarian region famous for the production of not only staple crops but also commercial crops such as rice since pre-modern age, and developed in the early period of the 19th century with the introduction of perennial irrigation to Egypt. The Sharqiya is the peripheral region bordering on deserts with vast uncultivated land left for future reclamation, and rapidly turned into the center of commercial cotton economy with the spread of perennial i汀igation and也e construction of railroad since血e latter half of 19th century. At any rate, in this volume we can find the precious data on Egyptian weekly market at the end of the 19th century. They are the answers of the inhabitants of all villages (1,018 villages) in the three above-mentioned Provinces to the question to which weekly market they used to go. 74 villages, of which 15 are in Qahubiya Province, 39 in Sharqiya Province and 20 in Daqahliya Province, are mentioned as weekly markets for the inhabitants of the three Provinces, as well as the city ofDamietta and 6 cities and villages located in other Provinces. The names of villages within the each circle of transaction of the 80 weekly markets, that is to which weekly market the inhabitants of villages in the three Provinces used to go, are as follows: Qahubiya Province Qaliub Distnct: (1) Izbet Shalaqan-Kafr Silim, EI Akhmnn, Abu EI Ghet, Khilwat EI Baradaa, EI Baradaa, Bahada, Zifetet Shalaqan, Sandabis, Shalaqan, Kafr Hem, Kafr EI Hiwala, Kafr EI Haris, Kafr EI Shurafa (2) Qaha - Tirsa (3) Qaliub - Kafr Silim, EI Kharqama, EI Akhmhn, Abu EI Ghet, Aghur EI Sughra, EI Sidd, Aghur EI Kubra, EI Baradaa, Khilwat EI Baradaa, EI Sabbah, Basus, Bahada, Kafr EI Sebil, Hallaba, Sandaiun, Sandabis, Shubra Shihab, Shalaqan, Sanafir, Qaranfil, Qalama, Kafr EI Hiwala, Kom Ishfin, Kafrai Ramada wa EI Turguman, Kafr Abu Gumaa, Kafr EI Haris, MitHaifa, Mit Nama, Nai, Nawa, EI Qubba, EI Amiria, Bahtim, Bigam, Damanhur Shubra, Shubra EI Khema, Musturud, Munta (4) Tanan -EI Sidd, EI Hassania, EI Sabbah, Sandaiun, Sandabis, Sinhira, Qaranhl, Qaha, Qalama, Kafr Abu Gumaa, EI Kom EI Ahmar, EI Zahwiyin, Sindiwa, Tahanub, Nawa (5) Shubra EI Khema -EI Amiria, Mit EI Sirig Nawa District: (6) Balaqs-Kom Ishfin, Mit Haifa, EI Manaiyel, EI Hazzania wa Kom EI Samn, EI Khusus, Siriaqus, EI Mataria, EI Amiria, Bahtim, Bigam, Damanhur Shubra, Musturud, EI Salamania, EI Gaafra (7) EI Khanka-EI Manaiyel, Abu Zaabal, EI Qalag, EI Minaiya, Birka EI Hagg, EI Khusus, Siriaqus, Sindiwa, Kafr Hamza, Kafr Ibaian, Musturud (8) EI Qashish -EI Sidd, Sinhira, EI Kom EI Ahmar, EI Gaafra, EI Attara, EI Hazzania wa Kom EI Samn, EI Zahwiyin, Nawa, Nub Tana (9) EIMars-EI Qalag, BirkaEI Hagg, EI Khusus, Siriaqus, Kafr EI Shurafa, Kafr EI Gamus, Kafr Abu Sir, Kafr EI Basha, EI Mataria, Musturud DATA ON PERIODICAL MARKET 8 1 (10) Shibin EI Qanater-Tahuriti, Kafr EI Suhby, Kafr Abd EI Nabi, Kafr Ah Ghali, Kafr Saad Beheri, EI Manaiyer, EI Zawamil, EI Ghaffana, EI Deir, Mansuret Namul, Sinhira, EI Kom EI Ahmar, EI Hasafa, EI Salamania, EI Zaabal, EI Ahraz, EI Qulzum, EI Attara, EI Shobak, EI Minaiya, EI Mureg, Kafr EI Wir, Tell Bern Tamim, Zifetet Mashtul, Sindiwa, Mansuret Shibin, Tahanub, Kafr EI Deir, Kafr Ibaian, Kafr Shibin, Kafr Taha, Kafr Sindiwa, Miniet Shibin, Nub Taha, Zawiet EI Sheikh Sanad, Kafr EI Shurafa EI Qibli (ll) Zawiet EI Naggar (12) Nawa - Kafr Taha Tukh District: (13) Benha- lsmt, KafrEI Shawi Khaitr, KafrMansur, KafrAli SharafEI Dine, Kafr EI Sheikh Amer, Kafr Radwan Ismail, EI Shuqr, EI Baqqashin, Barqata, Gamgara, Shiblanga, Qutaiymt EI Azizia, Kafr Mues, Kafr Abu Zahra, Kafr EI Arbiin, Kafr Azab Ghunem, Mit Kadi, EI Ramla, EI Amar EI Kubra, EI Shimut, EI Hissa, Imiai, EI Abadla, EI Safaina, Batamda, Biltan, Giziret EI Agam, Digwa, Zawiet Biltan, Minshat Ismat, Sandanhur, Tant EI Gizira, Tahla, Farsis, Kafr EI Hissa, Kafr EI Shimut, Kafr Farsis, Kafr EI Arab, Kafr Atalla, Kafr EI Sheikh Ibrahim, Kafr Tahla, Kafr Ilwan, Kafr EI Haddadin, Kafr Mansur, Kafr Minaqir, Kafr Sandanhur, Migul, Mit EI Attar, Marsafa, Mit Khanazir, Mit Aasim, Nuqbas (14) Tukh EI Malaq -EI Amar EI Kubra, EI Shimut, EI Hissa, Ikiad Digwa, EI Siafa, EI Salhia, Barashim EI Kubra, Barashim EI Sugra, Imiai, EI Abadla, EI Safaina, EI Deir, EI Manzala, EI Kharawla, Biltan, Tirsa, Giziret EI Agam, Digwa, Dandana, Kafr Hasan Saad, Minshat Ismat, Zawiet Biltan, Sandanhur, Shubra Hans, Tant EI Gizira, Farsis, Qarqashanda, Kafr EI Hissa, Kafr EI Shimut,.

  • Chapter 4 Logistics-Related Facilities and Operation: Land Transport
    Chapter 4 Logistics-related Facilities and Operation: Land Transport THE STUDY ON MULTIMODAL TRANSPORT AND LOGISTICS SYSTEM OF THE EASTERN MEDITERRANEAN REGION AND MASTER PLAN FINAL REPORT Chapter 4 Logistics-related Facilities and Operation: Land Transport 4.1 Introduction This chapter explores the current conditions of land transportation modes and facilities. Transport modes including roads, railways, and inland waterways in Egypt are assessed, focusing on their roles in the logistics system. Inland transport facilities including dry ports (facilities adopted primarily to decongest sea ports from containers) and to less extent, border crossing ports, are also investigated based on the data available. In order to enhance the logistics system, the role of private stakeholders and the main governmental organizations whose functions have impact on logistics are considered. Finally, the bottlenecks are identified and countermeasures are recommended to realize an efficient logistics system. 4.1.1 Current Trend of Different Transport Modes Sharing The trends and developments shaping the freight transport industry have great impact on the assigned freight volumes carried on the different inland transport modes. A trend that can be commonly observed in several countries around the world is the continuous increase in the share of road freight transport rather than other modes. Such a trend creates tremendous pressure on the road network. Japan for instance faces a situation where road freight’s share is increasing while the share of the other

A., A. M. SERAG AND MAHA I. EL-SAYED Plant Protection Research Institute, ARC, Dokki, Giza (Manuscript received 5 January, 2011) Abstract The population dynamics of the green shield scale, Pulvinaria psidii (Mask.) (Hemiptera - Coccidae) was studied for two successive years (2008-2009) on guava trees at Shibin El-Qanater district, Qalubiya Governorate. The obtained results revealed that, P. psidii occurred on guava trees all the year round and has two overlapping generations a year. The 1st generation started from early March to early August/mid-August, peaked in mid-May (early summer) with duration of 5.0 - 5.5 months at field conditions of 20.7 - 21.3°C and 70.7 - 71.9%R.H. The 2nd generation occurred from early May to mid-November, peaked in mid-August (late summer) with duration of 6.0 - 6.5 months at 24.2 - 25.0°C and 69.4 - 70.4%R.H., respectively. The favorable time for abundance of P. psidii occurred in early and late summer during both high temperature and relative humidity. The adult population was relatively higher than nymphal population one in winter months and this may be due to the cold weather and most of the nymphs attained to the adult stage which sheltered on stems bark or in the stem cracks. Daily mean temperature and %R.H. were effective on both nymph and adult populations in 1st and 2nd generations in the two studied years, the population was correlated with the increase of temperature.

It is exposed to huge amounts of serious pollutants especially heavy metals. The main objective of this research was to evaluate the spatial distribution of the heavy metals in water and sediment of the lake. Accordingly, Metal index (MI) and pollution index (PI) were calculated to assess the contaminations of the lake water with the metals named Fe+2, Mn+2, Cu+2, Zn+2, Pb+2, and Cd+2. MI and PI values confirm that most sites of aquatic utilizations are highly polluted with the mentioned metals. Four Pollution Indices were used for the environmental assessment of Lake sediment. The indices included three single indices, Enrichment Factor (EF), Index of Geo-accumulation (Igeo) and Contamination Factor (CF). While the fourth, Pollution Load Index (PLI) was an integrated index. The pollution indexes confirmed that the Lake sediment was contaminated with these elements. This is attributed to discharging of the effluents of different industrial wastes into the lake. Key words: El-Manzalah Lake, Heavy metals, pollution index Received; 15 Feb.
