Abstract

This study drives at identifying the mechanisms of environmental convenience for divergent classes of Cairo city. The sample is applied on (150) male/female individuals using the Scale of Environmental Convenience as a means for collecting data to be applied on a sample of the poor (Monshaat Naser quarter – Roud El-Farag quarter – Al-Megawreen cemetery). The researcher uses the social survey method for deducing social reality and analyzes the problem ecologically and for giving a conception of quality of life. The researcher uses multiple theories such as (Psychological analysis of Freud – The behavioral school – The human school – the ecological system theory). The research comes to several results which most important are: there are significant statistical differences between the study sample (tomb’ residents/slum quarter) on Scale of Environmental Convenience. The study recommends giving more consideration and concern to that marginalized category in order to improve their conditions and overcome the diseases they are exposed to because of lack of cleanness, establishing as well some projects to overcome the unemployment problem and improve the condition.
