Chapter 1
Socio economic survey for Al- Jwaiber
SummaryThis study is a socioanthropological one , the aim
of the study is to evaluate the social and economic status
in Al- Jwaiber villages in Thi-qar province , south of Iraq .
The study consists of three chapters , each of which is
divided into sections according to a scientific , objective
and accurate procedure .
The first chapter , which is entitled : the general outline
, was divided into a group of correlated items leading ,at the end , to forming a comprehensive conception about
the problem of the study , the aims, value of the study in
addition to the obstacles that faced this study . a
reference has also been made to the sample and limitations
of the study (place , time and simple of the study ) . then
we explained the tools that have been used in the study .
finally , a reference was made as to the mechanism or
procedures followed by the researched in the study . The second chapter , which is entitled the social
statusthe most important social indicators , was
initiated by a general description of AlJwaiber tribe .
then ,the geography and typology of the area were tackled
including the population according to sex and age .after
that a reference was made as to economy as a
traditional system . the term education was also
explained as to the efficient role it plays in the overalllife of the villagers particularly in terms of pertaining an
incoherent and retarded social and economic system .
after that , the study tackled the problem of emigration
and displacement which the people of the marshes
suffered from . This problem increased after the drying of
these marshes in the last decade of the last century .
The drying process affected the life of the people in terms
of the circulation of illiteracy , poverty and aime .subsequently , an account was made of schooling and

11
necessity of the existence of a modern and developed
educational system .later on , the dwelling and facilities
item was discussed . the facilities (or public services )
includes : medical care, drinking water and electric power
. finally ,this chapter consisted of 12 figures through
which the researchers explained the indicators of
population , schooling , illiteracy , types and areas of
houses , displacement and return in addition to the most
important possessions of the families in the area .also an
account was made , in these figures , of the way deliveries
were handled and the medical care presented to the
pregnant and the whole society in general .
Chapter three is entitled as the economic indicatorsof the society under consideration . in this chapter , the
researchers made mention of the individuals income and
the live stock each family have .this chapter also tackled
the strength and weakness points in the economic
system in the villages . This system is indicative of the
traditional system which is so common in most of the
marshes areas and the neighboring villages. after that , a
bundle of suggestions were made by the researchers whothink that these suggestions will be a good basis for the
renovation of the economic system there .
Consequently , this chapter consists of a group of figures
through which the researchers explained the different
living standards and sorting people according to their
economic status and the quantity and quality of the live
stock they have.
Study subject
Its a revised process and an evaluation for social
economic status in Al- jwabier village that adherent to
Al-Tar city about 50 km south east Nassiryah city
center of Thi-qar . These procedures take through
surveying samples.

Study objectives:
This study aim at many achievements , we can
summarize it :
1-Put a comprehensive view about all social , economic, cultural circumstances for this village and the
capability to apply the results on similar societies .
2-Establishing an information basis about the village
to draw up plans for any expectant developmental
programs in mid- latest future .
3- Distinction and specification for weakness and
strength point in economic system for traditionalsocieties .
4- Analysis the capabilities and local economic
strategies in connection with local sources and kinds
of oldnew economics .
Significancy of the study
This come from the importance of definite aims
because of blundering of governmental andnongovernmental offices competed in marsh and shared
in increase the problems in this areas which bore the
guilt of previous dictatorial regime like emigration ,
chase , arrests, repression , executions and the means of
living .. etc .
This kind of studies will setting up work in future
during objective , scientific and precise results dependingon firm search curriculums used in most world search
centers.
4. Difficulties of the study
The most common difficulty that faced the
researchers is the negative attitudes of the people under
research. they usually do not give accurate information
thinking that the correct information would not useful for

him . in addition , the survey teams are , most of the times
, unable to do the interviews and filling the form
properly . we have made , in advance a program which
guarantees the formulation of items in the questionnaire
and holding the workshops for training the researchers
to fill the form properly and how to deal with the
people under consideration .
5. Sample and limitations of the study
We have followed the sample-policy , as it were ,
because of the difficulty of making a total numeration
for the social , cultural and economic status for Al-
Jwaiber villages in Al- Tar shire . the samplestyle is oneof the reliable procedure in the scientific research due
to the reliability and reality of its results and it also saves
time and effort . three villages of al-jwaiber tribe were
selected . These village are : AlDawara ,Al-Aberat, Al-
Safha and Al- Beraij .
6. The tools of the study
The tools of the study are represented by thequestionnaire sheet , interview and the direct scientific
observation method. All of these methods are very
common in the social and anthropological researches .
the researches had distributed 100 forms . Three work-
groups had done the mission of distributing the forms on
the people . the three work group themselves were
distributed on the three villages .each group was
assigned to one village . these groups had done theirjobs successfully . these work-groups had successfully
applied the skills they had been taught in the work shop
held for them in the MRC.
7. The procedure of study
This study depended on a mechanism which is highly
depended on in the cultural anthropology *. this study
has been implemented by the use of the socio-
8/13/2019 16. Cultural Communications
14/37
14
anthropological methods , the most important of which is
the interview ,questionnaire sheet and the direct
scientific observation . thenumeration of the society
under research was done by the use of the random
sample method.
Among the nine village that Al- Jwaiber tribe consists
of , only three villages were selected . these villages are :
Al Safha and Al- Braij,al-abrat and Al-Dawara . These
villages represent one third of the nine villages . The
population of these villages constitute 10% of the total
number of people for the nine villages . Although the
three villages are situated in the eastern part of overall
location for Al- Jwaiber tribe, they are actually disparatefrom each other. the first village occurs on the left side
of the Euphrates on the administrational borders of Al-
Tar shire center . The second village is parallel to the first
and is about 3.5 km to the north east of it , on the
right side of the road that connects Al-Tar to Al- Fuhood
shrine . the third village is about 4.5 km and 2.5 km from
the first and second respectively . the three village
actually consists a triangle in which the third village isthe summit while the second and third are the extremes
of the base .

Chapter two
Social statusthe most important social indicators for
AlJwaiber tribe
Al-Jwaiber is a formidable tribe which consists of
nine villages which are disparate as to their areas ,
population and location . although each of the nine
villages has its own name , all of them adhere to the
general name of the tribeAl- Jwaiber . This does not
mean that (relational system *) in this tribe is a unified
one which is based totally on blood relationship . In fact, many people in the tribe are descendats of other tribal
origins . This does not constitute a defect in the social
structure ;
on the contrary , it is a common system in most of the
tribes that in habit the lower parts of the Euphrates in
Thi-qar province , and even in the end of Euphrates in
Basrah. The system is also common in all the Iraqi tribes .
This system is called Al-Kitba . It refers to a writtenagreement between the new emigrants and the owners of
the land that the new emigrant would like to settle in .
This document usually specifies the rights and duties of
the new emigrants so that they could be part and parcel
of the tribe they made the agreement with the Euphrates
,before it reaches Suq Al-Shyukh city , branched to two
rivers , the right branch is called Euphrates . Relational
system is one of the system underlying the social structurefor any society .
Anthropological studies depended much on the systems
of the social structure for any society intended to be
under research , while the second one is called al ukaika .
the first one goes through Suq Al-Shuykh and Karmat
Bani Saeed cities bisecting them into two parts this river
is itself subdivided into a group of small streams that
pours out into the marshes . The second branch flows
8/13/2019 16. Cultural Communications
16/37
16
towards the south east parallel to the first bisecting many
tribes that inhabit on its side . When this branch reaches
Karmat Hassan it subdivides itself into two branchs or
subdivisions . The first subdivision is called AlUkaika
while the second one is called Karmat Hassan river . On
the two sides of these branches and their brook , which flow
into the marshes , and which are finally called Al- Abrat
* ,the villages of Al-Jwaiber are situated .
1.GeographyAdminstrationally speaking Al-Jwaiber tribe is
associated with Al-Tar , Suq Al-Shuykh city . Some of
the people fro Al-Jwaiber inhabit on theadministrational border of the shire taking apart
with other tribes that also surround the shire and
are adminstrationally associated with it . More over ,
the borders of this tribe are themselves the borders of
al-tar shire with other shins Karmat Bani Saeed
,Al-Fuhood and Al-Islah . This shows the
importance of the geographical location of this tribe .
it is like a triangle which separates theadministrational borders of three constituencies .
These constituencies are al-Nassiriyah represented in
Islah , Al-Chibaish represented in al fuhood and
suq al-shyukh , which is represented by al- jwaiber
tribe itself,
* al-abrat is the plural of abra which is a local
nomination used by the villagers in most of the south of
Iraq . This word means the small streams that branchfrom the main rivers and vanish gradually as they flow
for irrigating the lands , hence the name al-abrat village
2.TypographyAll Al-Jwaiber villages occur on the out skirts of
the marshes . the marshes cover many parts of the tribes
lands most of the year . the villagers make use of the
8/13/2019 16. Cultural Communications
17/37
17
banks of the rivers as roads for the people and vehicles(
these banks were made as dikes by saddams government
to dry the marshes) .sometimes , they , also use these
banks for dwelling specially when the river water goes up
in the flood season where the low lands are usually flooded
with water .
3.PopulationThe population of Al-Jwaiber , in all the nine villages
is about (10000) people . The female percentage is a little
bit higherthey are about ( 5250) females while the
males are (4750) . when these people were divided into age
groups , it was found that the group lower than 6 years, for both sexes , is about (2350) which constitutes a
percentage of (23,5 %) while the second group which is
limited between (6-12) years is about (2550) which
makes (25.5 %) . the third group, limited from ( 13-18) is
about (2100) which makes (21%) . the last group , limited
from 19 years on , us about (3000) which makes (30%) of the
total number of the Al-Jwaiber's population .
4.EconomyThe people of Al-jwaiber , like all the
neighbouring tribes , are highly influenced by the
surrounding environment . all their economic activities
focus on the ecological system which is the system of the
marshes environment interconnected with and is part of
ecological system of the neighbouring , rural area . the
people's main vocations are agriculture raising cattle andfishing , but these vocations are practiced in a primitive
way . That is why , the production is usually very limited
and does not contribute , in making the over production
which is necessary for increasing those people's wealth .
Economic system , strength and weakness point and local
strategies will be dealt with in details in the second
chapter which will be assigned to the economic indicators
in the city under discussion .

his life time . These include : family , neighbours ,
companions , local community and unofficial information
.in addition , and as we have mentioned formerly , the
circumstances of the marshes people are very hard .
That is because , on the other hand , the hard and tough
marshes environment and the intentional or uninterntional
policies of the former Iraqi government on the other . All
these policies came to devote the catastrophe of these
people and to increase the traditionality of their life .
6.Emigration and displacementThe marshes people were subject to emigration and
displacement all the last decades for many reasons . Oneof these reasons wais the excessive increase or decrease in
the water level which will cause the loss of the source
of living made available by water . The second reason was
the persecutive measures made by the previous regime
which made people migrate . It goes without saying that
migration has bad effects which lead to poverty family
rupture , education retrogress and the circulation of
diseases and crime .
7.SchoolingSchooling is one of the most important routes for the
socialization of any society in the world . The inferior
educational system in the villages under consideration
has made the socialization traditional and unproductive
.The schooling retrogress in these areas has many reasons .The first and most important of which is the reduction
of the social awareness that does not consider school as
a necessary place for developing the individuals . the
second reason is the declining of the schools in the south
of Iraq in general and the marshes area in particular .
These schools are short of suitable buildings ,equipment
and adequate staff necessary for making successful
schools . Hence , the horrible increase of the illiteracy
8/13/2019 16. Cultural Communications
20/37
20
level among these people .the percentage of the illiteracy
among the house holders is (43%) while the percentage
of the literate householders is (25%) . the percentage of
those who have finished the primary school is (23%)
while those who finished the secondary school (or the
college) constitute only (2%) . The research realize the
importance of the existence of an educated father in the
family , hence we realize , by the same token , the extent of
the cultural problem result from the above percentages.
This problem is reflected on the overall life of those
people and on all the activities they do in their life .
As for the offspring , the percentage of illiteracy is 26%
while the percentage of those who still study in theprimary stage is 31% .the percentage of those who study
in the intermediate stage is (4.6%) while those at the
secondary school are only (1%) . These figures suggest the
following :
1.The horrible amount of escape from schools .2.The influence of the people's traditions on
coeducation . the females are forced after a shorttime from their study , to leave the school at the
early stages of learning . so , at best , they finish the
primary stage only .
In this research we neglected the age groups below six
years , that will make it easier for the reader to under
stand the significance of the other percentage for the
other age groups .

8- Dwelling and services
A-Dwelling
The slender incomes mentioned above bring out the real value
of the consumer services that the people of the villages can get ,
like education , medical care , etc . by the same token , the life-style for those people , i.e , raising cattle and poultry , reflected
clearly on the nature of their habitation , the quarter of the
people were like separate houses consisting of a barn for the
animals . The people who preferred to live in separate quarters are
41% . It is also worth mentioning that 66% of the families under
survey live in mud houses, while 4% live in houses built of reed .
A for those who live in houses built of brick , they constitute only
30% of the total number of the sample .
The number of rooms in these house varies from one houseto another , those whose house consist of one or two rooms are
45% ,those whose house consist of three or four rooms constitute
44% of the total number . The percentage of those house comprise
of five or six room was only 11% . It is worth reminding that
the average number of family members for the people under
research is more than (8) members .
B-Medical care
Regarding the medical care , which is a must for any process of
development ( the medical care is particularly important for
developing the human who constitute the working hands ) , it is not
actually available in the specified villages ,the people in all these
villages have to drive for over half an hour to hit the closest
clinic , they also have to drive for an hour and a half to reach the
closest hospital .
It is worth mentioning that most of the deliveries in these
villages are done by a local midwife ; the percentage of such
deliveries is 65.6% , he percentage of the deliveries which weredone by obstetrician is 23% , he percentage of the deliveries done
by a legalized midwife is 10.4%,most of these deliveries were not
being taken care of during pregnancy .
C-Drinking water
As far as drinking water and drainage system are concerned
, the lack of drinking water is a problem by itself. To make this
water available , the native of these villages spend much of their
slender incomes. Drinking water is brought from remotepurification station ,the drainage networks are also nonexistent . it is
8/13/2019 16. Cultural Communications
28/37
28
worth saying that great emphasis was made in relation to the
installation of desalination stations and drainage networks for all
the people ,these demands were made in many world conferences
and forum since the beginning of the nineties of the last century .
D- Electricity
The availability , distribution and cheapness of the power have a
great influence on supporting the economic and social
development especially the rural and remote areas.
The time of providing electricity for the fore-mentioned
villages does not exceed (9.2) hour daily ,even the electric connection
does not contribute to supplying these villages with enough power .
As such , life in these villages does not improve through furnishing
with lights or the use of power in the agricultural production orthe agricultural industry . the shortage of power contributed also
to the increase of migration from the countryside to the city . In
addition, most of the electric networks are incapable of meeting
the cumulative demand for electricity ,this demand is expected to
be even more cumulative in the few next years because of the
rapid increase in the population .

Chapter 3Socio-economic indicators of Al-Jwaiber villages
IntroductionPoverty can be ascribed many complex and multi-
dimensional reasons. These reasons include : education , climate ,
sex , age and available resources in addition to many other
reasons . There is a great diversity between all the poor in the
countryside concerning the problems they are facing and the
possible solution for such problems . On the other hand , there is
a complete consent that the political and economic stability and
the existence of state investments in the economic and social
infra -structures are important prerequisites for achievingconstant economic growth and the reduction of poverty in the
rural areas .
Moreover, and because of the great ignorance of the poor villagers
with economy , public policies should focus on important affairs
such as making available the agrarian lands and credit for the
poor and making it easy for them to obtain education , medical
care and other food requirements which could be done by
carefully designed program for public employment .
In order to understand poverty , we must study the
accompanying economic and social situation . this is so because
the diversity of the levels of poverty is affected by sex , age ,
income and the place of living (rural and urban areas ). The
percentage of poverty in the countryside is about 63% on the
world's level. The poor in the countryside face much worse
conditions than the poor in the cities concerning consumption ,
education , medical care drinking water , health facilities , housing
, transportation and communications . as a matter of fact the
improper governmental policies , like the perspective treatment of
the agrarian section and disregard for the infra-structures (socialand economic ) , have contributed a lot to the circulation of
poverty in the country - side and city on a bar .
This study pays a great attention to estimating the economic
and social situation for some of the villages in Al-Jwaiber tribe
( Al-Dawara, Al-Braij, Al-Safha and Al-Abra ) in Al-Tar shire .
the standards of living in these villages descended to a great
extent through a long period of time . This descendence of the
standards of living was accompanied with a state of
backwardness in all the fields : the limitedness of production ,

According to figure (14) also , the percentage of the well- todo
families is 18% where as the percentage of the in between
families (neither poor nor rich) is 17% .
Regarding the consumer goods these families have , 43% of
them were registered to have a fridge . those who have a water
based air conditioner were only 31% , those who have a cook
stove were 16% , no family was registered to have an air
conditioner ( AC) .
2-livestock
Raising livestock is ,at a large scale, the most common
occupation for the residents of the villages , unfortunately the nativeof these villages depend on the roving pasturage . This type of
pasturage is improper because it is difficult to look after the cattle
while it is moving . The animals are also more liable to stress,
diseases and the decrease of the growth average because of the
servers climatic conditions in the area. The grazing lands are by
themselves not so grassy and are usually neglected and misused .
The modern techniques in raising cattle are so limited . The.
villagers are also more interested in increasing the number of the
animals than increasing their production in terms of meat , milk
and wool.
As shown in figure 15 , the number of the livestock being
possessed by the locals of the villages under consideration is (657).
Sheep constitute 53.1% with 48 males and 301 females of which there
are 221 producing milk. As for bovine, they constitute 30.7% of the
total number of animals. The number of calves is (34) while the
number of cows is (168) of which (86) produce milk. Regarding
buffalo ,the percentage was 11.6% with(8) males and (66) females of
which there are (34) produce milk. Finally, the percentage of goatsis 4.9% with (6) males and(26) females of which there are 23
milkers .

Weakness points in the economic system
In the Previous chapters ,we discuss the issues which
form the whole frame of the people social , cultural andeconomic life . We face real problems in the socioeconomic
system of the studied area , these problems include :
- the illiteracy among different age groups .- the spread of traditional ideas that play an essential
role in people convictions .
- the obvious absence of services .- the spread of poverty as a result of unemployment and
low wages.
- The existence of barren , anarchist as well as thewhole economic system depend on fragile elements .
The compelling circumstances that causing by economic
blockade specially in 1991-1997 lead to crush most of
these restrictions , there are great available capabilities at
this society , the youth provide the greatest share that
contribute in successful economic and industrial projects
establishing at the regions contain many laborers in
addition to need to straighten through professional
administrative and financial training . We must find
opportunity for education for both sexes with establishing
qualitative courses and train the people in harmony with
establishing projects coincide with it .
