  • The Bedouin Recognized Villages and the Jewish Settlements in the Negev
    The International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination 21 March 2014 Between Discrimination and Abandonment: The Bedouin Recognized Villages and the Jewish Settlements in the Negev Photograhpy: Yotam Ronen | Research: Michal Rotem Introduction Over the past decade, the Israeli Government decided to recognize thirteen Bedouin unrecognized villages in the Negev (Appendix). While the recognition of two of the villages is at an initial stage, the other eleven, on which this report will focus, already have a ‘blue line’, that defines the area of the village. This step, that was supposed to bring services, infrastructure and detailed planning for those villages, has not changed much on the ground. In practice, in the vast majority of these villages there is no infrastructure, the services are poor and inadequate for the majority of residents, and due to the lack of planning, the house demolition policy and the prevention of building permits continue. At the same time, over the last decade, three new Jewish settlements were established in the Negev area, two were resettled by Jewish religious communities, and another four Jewish settlements are currently in an advanced planning and establishment stage. These settlements, populated by a relatively small number of residents, enjoy a variety of services allocated by the government, and also receive building permits for new structures and extensions to existing ones. In addition, plans for at least twelve more settlements are now on the agenda, most, if not all, are designated for the Jewish population (Appendix).

  • Bedouin in the Negev Updated: June 2014
    FACT SHEET1 iataskforce.org Topic: Bedouin in the Negev Updated: June 2014 Demographics, Socio-Economic Status and Politics At the end of 2011, 204,700 Bedouin lived in the Negev, accounting for approximately one 2 third of the population in the region. In addition, 60,000 Bedouin live in the Galilee and close to 10,000 in central Israel.3 The term “Bedouin” defines various groups of traditionally pastoral nomadic, desert- dwelling Arabs (exclusively Muslims). Since the 1950s, the Bedouin in Israel have undergone a process of sedentarization with an emphasis on agricultural production The Negev Bedouin have one of the highest natural growth rates in the world, 3.6% in 2011. This means that the population doubles once every 19 years.4 The Israel Land Administration projects that the Negev Bedouin population will reach 300,000 by 2020.5 6 Demographic Features (2011) Negev Bedouins Muslims – General Jews Natural growth rate 3.6% 2.4% 1.5% Fertility rate 5.55 3.51 2.98 Ages 0-19 60.9% 49.2% 33.3% Median age 15.1 20.4 31.5 Infant mortality (per 1000) 11.6 6.6 2.6 The Bedouin who live in the Negev are by far Israel’s most disadvantaged community in terms of per capita income, unemployment, poverty rate, education and public infrastructure. 1 Compiled by Prof. Elie Rekhess, Associate Director, Crown Center for Jewish and Israel Studies, Northwestern University 2 CBS, Statistical Abstract of Israel, 2012, table 2.6. 3 Yosef Ben David, The Bedouin in Israel: Social and Land Aspects (Jerusalem: Jerusalem Institute for Israel Studies, 2004).

They have Israeli citizenship, but those living in the “unrecognised” villages have no address registration, which can lead to problems with accessing services. Living conditions in the “unrecognised” villages are poor: there is no electricity, running water or transportation. Services in the “recognised” villages are also severely substandard, with only elementary schools and ba- sic healthcare facilities.3 Most worryingly, homes in the “unrec- ognised” villages are under con- stant threat of demolition, with the Israeli state recently having adopted more restrictive regu- lations and undertaken a large- Photo ctredit: Sidreh-Lakiya ctredit: Photo scale campaign of clearing entire The Bedouins of the Negev desert are one of the villages, leaving their inhabitants most disadvantaged minorities within Israel. homeless.4 Numbering between 160,000 and 180,000 peo- ple, they are systematically excluded from Israeli The unemployment level among society and denied the rights and standard of the Bedouin is higher than living enjoyed by the majority population.

    Journal of Rural Studies 62 (2018) 40–52 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Journal of Rural Studies journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/jrurstud ☆ Social topography: Studying spatial inequality using a 3D regional model T ∗ Meirav Aharon-Gutman , Mordechai Schaap, Idan Lederman Faculty of Architecture and Town Planning, Technion, Israel ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: This study's point of departure is the need to develop a new theoretical language and tool-box to contend with Spatial inequality the rising inequality that continues to expand under the spatially intensive and high density conditions stemming Social topography from demographic growth and large migration movements. Its response to this challenge is a 3D regional model 3D modelling based on the immersive visualization theater (VizLab) maintained by the Technion's Faculty of Architecture and VR in sociology Town Planning. Following the breakthrough in research on spatial inequality facilitated by VR technology, we propose “social topography” as a theory and a modelling method that stands to make a significant contribution to both qualitative and quantitative research methods. Social topography, we maintain, creates a new sociology: one of contour lines and spatially embedded hierarchies that exists under VR conditions and enables us to put on 3D glasses and go where the research community has not yet gone before. This article's point of departure is the assumption that the world ‘out Spatial relationships between different social systems and actors there’ contains inequality that continues to expand and intensify on continue to sort themselves in an increasingly globalized economy, different scales in various parts of the world, as reflected in reports of coexisting with growing spatial inequalities that mirror and re- scholars in the United States and countries of the European Union produce better scrutinized structural inequalities.

  • The Abu Basma Villages a Decade of Underdevelopment
    The Abu Basma Villages A Decade of Underdevelopment Executive Summary Noga Dagan Buzaglo August 2014 The report was produced in conjunction with Bimkom: Planners for Planning Rights, in the framework of a joint project, "Promoting Adequate Planning and Development of Recognized Bedouin Villages in the Israeli Negev". The publication has been produced with the assistance of the European Union. The contents of the publication are the sole responsibility of the Adva Center and Bimkom and can in no way be taken to reflect the views of the European Union. 39 A decade after establishment of the Abu Basma Regional Council and initiation of the process of recognizing the villages within the Council, most of these communities remain under-developed. This paper examines the obstacles to significant development of the Abu Basma villages and outlines recommendations for a development plan. The final part of the paper reviews the current status of the Abu Basma villages. The paper focuses on socio-economic development. The organization Bimkom: Planners for Planning Rights, have submitted a parallel analysis that focuses on town planning and construction. The Abu Basma Regional Council was established in 2004 with jurisdiction over approximately 68,000 dunam. The Council functioned as one unit until November 2012, when the then Minister of the Interior split it into two regional councils – al-Kasom and Neve Midbar. These two councils were still in the process of formation in early 2014, but there appears to be no functional difference between the unified regional council and the two new ones; therefore this paper treats the villages of Abu Basma as one entity.
