| Abstract | ||
| The present work was designed to address the views and knowledge of the fishermen of Burullus Lake regarding the impact of the development of the lake on their community. The data were collected from 137 total respondents via a questionnaire using a personal interview. For their personal data, most of the respondents are young with intermediate qualifications, married and support families. On the impact of the development of Lake Burullus on fishing, funding sources and obtaining licenses were agreed upon as obstacles facing most of the respondents in addition to the emigration of fishermen. In addition, the majority agreed that there are still problems despite the development. While, for family problems, the majority agreed that there are still family problems related to the period of time off and living expenses that worsen by time. Considering social safety, most of them agreed that there are no means of social safety for the sake of the fisherman and his family. For the housing environment and prevailing services, the majority agreed on the existence of problems in the housing and the surrounding environment adding to the weakness of services. In general, fishermen are facing problems with non-available solutions. Therefore, the concerned authorities should give more attention to the status of fishermen, spreading awareness and culture among them to preserve the lake and its resources. | ||
