dc.description.abstractA review of advanced industrial technology as an approach to developing industrial desert communities in arid countries of the Middle East is offered. Appropriateness of the new approach for the development of the physical and the social environments of these countries on the national, on the desert regional, and on the desert community levels is assessed. A close examination of the Saudi Arabian experiment in developing Jubail and Yanbu industrial communities is presented. The ability of these desert cities to survive and to evolve into permanent human settlements is tested and alternative sources for their sustenance are explored. A model process which is based on an advanced, systematic and comprehensive approach to development technology is proposed for the development of a permanent desert community in an arid region. A framework of requisites for successful development of permanent human settlements in adverse desert locations is proposed.en
