| Abstract | ||
| The research mainly aimed to identify the implementation of the rural family’s implementation of household electrical energy rationalization practices in Ismailia Governorate, and to achieve the objectives of the research, three centers were randomly selected from the governorate, namely the centers of Ismailia, Al-Tal Al-Kabeer, and Abu Sweir. Ismailia, the village of Tahiriya center of the great hill, and the village of Manayef Abu Sweir center, Then, a regular random sample was drawn from the three villages inclusive according to the Kressigi and Morgan tables, and the sample size was 350 individuals from the three villages and distributed according to the percentage of each village’s representation in the entire research area. It fits the nature of the data used, including numerical frequencies, percentages, arithmetic mean, standard deviation, simple and multiple correlation coefficient, and multiple linear regression coefficient. The study reached some results, the most important of which are the following: 1- Most of the surveyed rural families (52.80%) had a medium level of implementation of household electrical energy conservation practices, while more than a quarter (27.08%) had a high level of implementation of the practices, and about one-fifth of the surveyed households (20.12%) had a low level of implementation Household electrical energy conservation practices. 2- It was found that there were eleven practices whose average implementation was high and ranged between (3.21-3.90) degrees, and there were fifteen practices whose average implementation ranged between (2.07-8.83) degrees, and six practices whose average implementation was low and ranged between (1.06-1.86) a degree out of a maximum degree of 4 degrees. 3- There is a significant relationship between each of the studied independent variables and the degree of respondents’ implementation of electrical energy rationalization practices, and that these variables explain about 74% of the total variance in the dependent variable, but most of this percentage contributes to the following variables: the respondent’s education, the number of the respondents’ family members Number of dwelling rooms, income, average value of the electricity bill, number of children in education, trend towards rationalizing household electrical energy, awareness of the family’s energy problem. 5-The research resulted in a number of problems that hinder the respondents from implementing practices to rationalize electrical energy, some of them are economic, such as the high prices of all energy-saving lamps and electrical appliances, others are related to lack of awareness of lack of awareness of energy-saving recommendations, and some are related to values and habits such as ostentation and ostentation on occasions with extravagance. in electricity. | ||
