This study examined the nexus between a multi-factor human poverty index and the ur-ban factors. Several communities related issues to poverty were investigated in comparison to the characteristics of urban context such as construction type, the height of buildings, and ac-cess to basic services. Social and urban surveys were used in this study. This research high-lighted several problems such as lack of commercial and industrial activities among the case studies.

In questo studio è stata esaminata la relazione tra l'indice di povertà umana multifattoriale e i fattori urbani. Sono state indagate diverse questioni relative alla povertà delle comunità rispetto alle caratteristiche del contesto urbano, come il tipo di costruzione, l'altezza degli edifici e l'accesso ai servizi di base. Per questo studio sono state utilizzate indagini sociali e urbane. La ricerca ha evidenziato diversi problemi come la mancanza di attività commerciali e industriali tra i casi studio
Keywords: Indice di povertà umana, comunità rurali in Egitto, provincia di Al-Sharkia, caratteristiche urbane, tessuto urbano, caratteristiche socio-economiche.
