Abstract

The marshes are possessing natural economic capabilities and environmental resources and unique biological diversity. It inhabited by thousands of citizens for thousands of years, as these residents relied heavily on the natural environmental and economic resources which they depend on them as a basis for their livelihood, and given the increasing continuous demand for these resources as well as the frequent government neglect for this environment, for these reasons the research problem resulted from the weak investment of natural and economic environmental resources and their excessive and unsustainable exploitation, which led to an imbalance in the environmental and economic balance of the region. The main goals of the research were to maintain the natural resources in sustainable and sustainable economic activities for the residents and to achieve the goals of sustainable development, and the research adopted the hypothesis that natural and economic resources can be sustained through sustainable spatial development by activating institutional aspects as well as environmental awareness, which will enhance their sustainability in the present and the future. To achieve this, a complete survey of villages and human settlements in the study area was conducted, as well as a determination of the proportions of the economic activities and their geographical distribution. The research concluded that there is unsustainable use and un-environmentally sound methods for some natural resources through some economic activities such as fishing for fish and birds, as well as a lack of interest and governmental neglect for some of the economic activities, such as buffalo breeding and milk production. The research reached the most important recommendations of the necessity of activating sustainable spatial development and the existence of great opportunities to invest better and sustainable natural and economic resources as well as developing the eco-tourism aspect, to achieve the well-being and prosperity of the inhabitants as well as to preserve the marshes, their integrity and their sobriety within the list of world heritage and their international environmental agreements.
