    (University of Khartoum, 2019-12) الفاتح محمد علي سعيد
    مستخلص هدف البحث إلى تسليط الضوء على قضية التنافس على الموارد بين مجموعات الرعاة بمنطقة المصورات الصفراء بولاية نهر النيل والتي تتميز بكونها إحدى أهم المناطق الأثرية بالسودان المدرجة ضمن قائمة التراث العالمي لليونسكو. اعتمد البحث المنهج الوصفي والتاريخي مع طرق كيفية لجمع البيانات ميدانيا عن طريق الإقامة وسط مجتمع البحث، حيث تم تدوين الملاحظات الميدانية بجانب إجراء المقابلات المعمقة مع الإخباريين وعقد جلسات الحوار البؤرية مع مجموعات محلية. توصل البحث إلى عدة نتائج أهمها أن البيئة الطبيعية تلعب دورا مهماً في وجود هذه المجتمعات بالمنطقة للاستفادة من الموارد المائية والمراعي في فصل الخريف في شكل هجرة دائرية موسمية. كما وجد البحث أن ظهور العمل في حقل الآثار سبب رئيس في استقرار هذه المجموعات بالمصورات خاصة في فترة عمل البعثات الآثارية كونه يمثل فرصة للحصول على عمل يغني الأفراد عن بيع جزء من القطيع للحصول على الاحتياجات الرئيسة للأسرة. كما توصلت الدراسة إلى وجود علاقة عكسية بين معدلات الأمطار السنوية وزيادة حدة التنافس بين السكان المحليين على العمل مع البعثة الآثارية بالمنطقة الأمر الذي يفسر لجوء السكان لإستراتيجية تكيف مع الأوضاع البيئة المتغيرة من أجل ضمان موارد معيشية مناسبة. توصل البحث أيضا إلى وجود توافق بين العمل مع البعثات الآثارية وتوفر فائض عمالة لدى الأسرة الرعوية؛ ذلك أن موسم العمل في حقل الآثار يكون دائما في فصل الشتاء أي الفترة التي لا يمثل فيها سقي القطيع هاجسا كبيرا بالنسبة للرعاة وبالتالي يوفر القطاع الرعوي فائض عمالة يتم استيعابهم في حقل الآثار. كما كشفت الدراسة عن وجود عملية إعادة تنظيم للعمل داخل الأسرة التي يتم استيعاب أحد أفرادها من قبل البعثة حتى لا تتضرر الأسرة في أي من أنشطتها. يوصي البحث بضرورة وجود تنسيق بين كافة الجهات الفاعلة ذات الصلة بقطاع الآثار والحكم المحلي والولاية من ناحية والمجتمع المحلي من ناحية أخرى. كما أوصت الدراسة أيضا بأهمية بذل السلطات الحكومية جهدا في تطوير السياحة وتطوير الصناعات اليدوية المحلية التي تجيدها النساء خاصة الأمر الذي يؤدي لتوفير المزيد من فرص كسب العيش للسكان المحليين.  The research aimed at shedding light on the competition over resources between groups of pastoralists living in the area of Musawwarat As-Sufra in River Nile State which is one of the most important archaeological sites in Sudan that has been registered in UNESCO's list of international heritage. In this context, several key-questions were raised pertaining to the impact of the competition over natural resources and work opportunities in the field of archaeological excavation on the relationship between local inhabitants and on the type of interaction between them and archaeological missions and how that influences their ways of living. The research depended on descriptive and historical methods and used qualitative data collection tools to gather information through participant observation, in-depth interviews with key informants and focus group discussions. The research has several findings the most important of which is that the natural environment plays a crucial role in the existence of these communities in the region that benefit from water resources and grazing in the rainy season by way of seasonal migration. The research found that the availability of work opportunities in archaeological sites is a major reason for the settlement of these groups in Musawwarat especially during the presence f archaeological missions because they offer work opportunities thus sparing the workers the sale of animals in order to satisfy basic needs for their families. The research also revealed that there is inverse relationship between annual rainfall and the degree of competition over work opportunities provided by the archaeological mission in the area for local inhabitants. This explains why inhabitants resort to a strategy of adaptation with changing environmental conditions in order to ensure better living conditions. The study also found that because the season of archaeological work is always during winter when herd watering does not pose a big problem nomadic sector is able to provide an additional manpower for archaeological excavation. The research also found that families tend to reorganize their labour if one of its members is involved in the mission's work thus avoiding any adverse effect on any of its activities. The research recommends that coordination is necessary between all actors concerned with the archaeological sector, local government, and the state on the one hand and the local community on the other. The study also recommended the necessity of making more efforts by government authorities to develop tourism and local handicrafts made by women which will avail more livelihood opportunities to the local inhabitants.

    العنف الأسري في قريتي عجب سيدو وسيفاوا بولاية القضارف
    (University of Khartoum, ) ., سعد محمد عبد الكريم أبكر ; ابتسام ساتي إبراهيم ; قسم علم الاجتماع والانثروبولوجيا الاجتماعية
    This research deals with the problem of domestic violence as one of the social problems that threatens security and social peace in different human societies whether rural or urban, as it affects the individual, the family and the society. Unlike many other studies, this one attempts to address the concept of domestic violence within a wide spectrum, including practices that are not generally perceived as violence such as early marriage, forced marriage, divorce and polygamy as measures and indicators of domestic violence in rural societies. In this study the researcher seeks to know the views and ideas of the rural communities about domestic violence and the ways and means used to combat this phenomenon in Ajab Sidu and Sifawa villages in Gedaref State. The objectives of the study are to clarify the concept of family violence in the study society, to see the views of the two villages about domestic violence, to investigate the causes and types of domestic violence practiced in small rural communities in Sudan and to see the role of the family and the other social institutions in dealing with domestic violence. It is a comparative study based on the qualitative approach using primary data collected through open interviews, focus group discussions, observation and other primary tools. Secondary data has also been derived from the theoretical reports, scientific research, books, journals, internet, etc. The study reached a number of findings, the most important of which is that the concept of domestic violence in the society of the study is based on the idea that violence is only directed against women, despite the existence of violence against men. The study also found that the values and the traditions of the society encourage male domination and women subordination, which had an impact on the division of labor and the distribution of tasks on gender basis. Another finding was that divorce is an indicator of domestic violence in society, as its affects children, women and social peace. Customs and traditions play a major role in perpetuating domestic violence by encouraging members of the society to early marriage, polygamy, divorce, etc. In the context of physical violence, the study proved that women may be physically more aggressive than men in their relationships with their husbands. It also showed that the behavioral values limiting the tasks of women within the house only lead to the practice of some types of domestic violence in the society. Therefore, the study recommends the importance of activating the role of schools and mosques in stressing positive behavioral values such as acceptance of the other and the freedom of expression. It also recommends that mass-media should participate through cultural programs in awareness rising of the dangers of domestic violence. Further, it recommends that those who are responsible of the educational policy in Sudan generally, and in Gedaref state in particular, should concentrate on equal educational opportunities for girls. Family issues should be included in school curriculum and the role of school social worker should be activated.
