(An analytical study of sustainable development projects and their impact on social satisfaction)

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the concept of sustainable development, examine the types of sustainable development projects, measure the level of social satisfaction in communities where sustainable development projects are implemented, analyze the relationship between sustainable development projects and social satisfaction, and provide recommendations for enhancing the impact of sustainable development projects on social satisfaction. The study population is the local residents of Suhar, and the study sample included 400 individuals from the study population. A questionnaire was used to measure the social satisfaction of the residents with major sustainable development projects. The results of the study indicate that the residents of Suhar are generally satisfied with the sustainable development projects in the region and believe that these projects bring many important benefits to the community. However, caution should be exercised against overgeneralization and the data should be viewed more objectively to identify areas that may need further improvement.

The study results indicated that : Residents of Suhar are generally satisfied with sustainable development projects in the region. Sustainable development projects bring many important benefits to the community, such as improving living standards, providing job opportunities, improving basic services (health, education, housing, ...), protecting the environment, enhancing security and stability, and stimulating community participation. There is a positive relationship between sustainable development projects and social satisfaction. The more sustainable development projects there are in a community, the higher the level of social satisfaction among its residents.
