Eco-friendly Communities in Recycled Spaces: Environmental Behaviour in Rural Egypt
Recently, several studies have been conducted to develop a sustainable society, one of which is urban, linked to public and socially responsible principles; thus, sustainability is tied to public values. Consequently, eco-friendly communities might serve as a model of sustainable urbanism and improve the environment’s and the general public’s quality of life. This research aims to investigate one of the eco-friendly communities in Rural Egypt, SEKEM Farm, a sustainable green urbanism project whose founders established it with a holistic, sustainable development vision with the potential of representing, upon spreading and can positively impact reversing rural–urban migration in the future. The research objective is to set the features of eco-friendly communities of recycled spaces and to determine the factors that led those communities to achieve positive results. In addition, it states the criteria that could help others to repeat the same concept successfully. Methods of both diagnostic and descriptive will be used for setting the features of eco-friendly communities. The empirical study in the research includes site visits for observation and mapping the human behaviour using paper, time-lapse, and video photography; this step aims to analyse the user pattern in real-time. Finally, the outcome indicates a comprehensive model/framework to describe the influential primary factors that affect pro-environmental behaviour. Additionally, based on these results, the suggested criteria could be repeated in different recycled spaces to be transformed into eco-friendly communities.
