Abstract

The study aimed to develop the environmental responsibility for archaeology inspectors of Egyptian sector
For achieving this, researchers have designed a checklist of the most important environment’s issues (by reviewing resources of ancient Egyptians), then they have designed the program in the form of several topics, namely, (cleanness – protection of water resources – protection of green resources – conserving biological diversity – learning – public health). Moreover, this is followed by designing a scale of environmental responsibility (environmental information test – scale of environmental attitudes – scale of environmental behavior – scale of locus of control ); later, they have specified a group of archeological inspectors, about (30) inspector to hold a pre-application of the scale on the group’s individuals then administer the proposed program and its components and subjects in the time duration from 6/8/2017 to 18/9/2017. Finishing the pre-application of the scale of environmental responsibility, the scale is re-applied once more on the environmental group
Results indicate and reinforce the effectiveness of the proposed program in developing dimensions of environmental responsibility among inspectors of Egyptian archeology sector  the results showed presence of statistically significant differences between pre and post measure application at (0,001) of significance level ,average (93,708 ) for pre measure, average(223,026 )in favor of post application, Eta sugar( 0,976 )
the results proved that experimental group has developed an environmental responsibility for the whole six environmental issues mentioned in the program. The research asserts that ancient Egyptians (pharos) have been a good example to be followed in their interaction with the environment and its issues. It also exposes that monument’ inspectors’ recognition to dealing approaches of old Egyptians with their environment and its problems at that time leads to development of environmental responsibility among those inspectors and research recommends to Applying program, reinforces acquiring archeology inspectors’ environmental responsibility
