Based on the sociology of development and the sociology of culture, this paper seeks to discuss the complex relationship between the quality of the dominant development model on the one hand, and the state of accumulation at the cultural capital scale, with its structures, processes and values on the other. How has the adoption of the global capitalist model over the past decades led to negative consequences at multiple and different levels, especially socio-cultural associated with the deterioration of the social conditions of the middle classes, which are the habitat of cultural capital with its three main components: the Embodied, the institutionalized as well as the Objectified, and the consequent socio-cultural problems of a structural type. The paper proposes an alternative development vision that devotes positive and effective cultural value systems that allow an equal socio-cultural accumulation on a more equitable basis, through which more vibrant, inclusive and sustainable development horizons are opened, taking into consideration the great importance of the cultural system, with all its components, in comprehensive development strategies.

This research paper aims to find the settlement strategy that the Israeli occupation uses to establish, build, and expand its network of settlements over time. This strategy is based on certain motives and uses certain mechanisms and means that were established through a set of plans and projects for the purpose of expropriating Palestinian land and displacing indigenous people. In addition, this strategy includes settling a large number of Israeli settlers on the land expropriated from the Palestinians. All this aims to help Israel achieve its settlement strategy and impose a new de facto situation. The research paper finds that the Israeli settlement policy is based on an already decided plan through which Israel attempts to dominate and control the strategically most important sites in the West Bank to serve its political, economic, and security interests. All this comes at the expense of the Palestinian population and its land. Therefore, the current study stresses the necessity of preparing a comprehensive strategy or plan to achieve sustainable development of the Palestinian lands in order to face dangers posed by the Israeli settlement expansion. It also encourages horizontal urban expansion of Palestinians instead of vertical urban expansion in order to confront Israeli expropriation and confiscation of Palestinian land.

In response to the vision of 2030 to preserve the environment, sustainable development, and with technological development, the approach to Assistive Technology (AT) has been an effective way to develop many skills of learners with special needs, starting from their early childhood; In a way that helps them to think, apply and actively participate in their environment. One of the most important ways of Utilizing (AT) tools is to use them in the various types of children’s literature (poetry, theater, and story…) directed to the child, including environmental and health concepts. Accordingly, this research is directed to the Critical Review; based on the Systematic Literature Review’s study of the most representative published scientific literature, which links Assistive Technology tools and children’s literature with the environmental and health implications of the various branches of children’s literature that contribute to the development of environmental and health awareness among children . To fill the research gap in this area, this paper will depend on the qualitative (descriptive) approach in collecting data from the previous research literature. In addition, collecting some data from part of two cases study, one from the down syndrome, and the other from the hearing and speech impaired; to investigate the main research question, namely :What is the effectiveness of Utilizing assistive technology tools in children’s literature to develop environmental and health awareness among children with special need? The most important findings of the current research were the success of using and investing assistive technology tools in presenting types of children's literature for children with special needs, and in providing them with environmental and health awareness through it and documenting their relationship with their environment in a positive way to preserve it, and to achieve sustainable development.

Microfinance should be considered and planned as a major means of economic development at the national level and as a means of reducing poverty, bringing about real development, and raising the standard of living of the rural population, which is the main hypothesis that pointed to the need to monitor what is happening in the microfinance sector, in particular the role of the Local Development Fund, since it is mainly located within the countryside through local units in the provinces. This leads us to a question: What is the real impact of the microfinance services provided by the Local Development Fund in alleviating poverty and economic opportunities for clients? This paper aims to identify the role of microenterprises in alleviating rural poverty and to study the economic and social impacts of micro-enterprises on borrowers. The results show that the total volume of microfinance lending is 29.5 million L.E for 8,471 projects in 2009/10, but real prices show that there is a significant decline in the value of financing directed against current prices. The real funding volume was 9.7 million L.E in 2020/21. It turns out that there are moral differences between the sample members of the borrowers who own. It was found that there were significant differences between the sample members of micro- enterprises and non-borrower sample members of economic variables, with the calculated value of (T) estimated at 10.9, 8, 4.6, 5.8, and 1.8 per monthly income, savings, asset ownership, increased employment opportunities, and development of productive behavior respectively. This compares with the T-rated values where the T values calculated were greater than their scheduling counterparts, and those differences are in favor of borrowers from local development fund clients. About 69% of the sample of micro-entrepreneurs explained that there has been an improvement in their standard of living, as evidenced by the improved level of the food they receive and their interest in educating children and following up on the state's health care initiatives to maintain their health. The research recommends reviewing the distribution of funding to the provinces to target the poorest provinces, in addition to not repeating the same projects in the same places and diversifying activities, focusing on agricultural, rural, and environmental productive activities and moving away from consumer, and service activities that are not fully sustainable and do not increase real employment opportunities. Increasing the value of the loan where it is contrary to the value of microfinance described by the definition of the micro-project with the micro-financing strategy prepared by the state, and the financing rules announced by the Financial Supervisory Authority and funding provided by other official bodies in the country such as the SME Development Authority and micro, which contributes to the movement of customers from projects that meet their basic need to the level of effective microprojects, and thus the final impact of microfinance becomes useful, which It allows borrowers to break out of poverty and contribute significantly to sustainable economic and social development.

Algeria, like the most countries of the world, made a lot of efforts to raise the standard of living of the population, and this by adopting development programs for which huge financial allocations were made. This research paper aims to study the extent of the impact of these programs on the reality of sustainable development in Algeria, and we have reached the conclusion that those plans during the period (2005-2019) have achieved many results on the economic and social level, but they failed to achieve all dimensions that achieve optimal exploitation resources to ensure their survival for future generations.
