    Notes: Abstract The aim of this paper is to study the relationship between population distribution and medical facilities in the Arab Republic of Yemen. In order to do this hospital work-loads have been calculated for each province. The results show that the provision of health services, in the country as a whole, is rather critical, while the situation in certain provinces has reached a dangerous level. The paper concludes with a call for the Yemeni authorities to substantially improve the delivery of medical care on a nationwide scale.

    The status of geography in Saudi universities with special reference to King Saud University (1986)

    Notes: Abstract Although there are several departments and subdepartments of geography in Saudi universities and other institutions, these departments have so far failed to produce professionals who are capable of filling the posts offered by the employers in both the public and private sectors. This paper suggests that since the demand for geography graduates with general training is rather low at presents, it is time for geography departments to turn to professionalism in the field so that geography graduates can compete favourably for the available posts. This calls for a new look into the geography curriculum, particularly at university level with a view of improving the skills and aptitude of geographers to assume a more positive role in the process of development. The paper also calls for the regional specialisation of geography departments in Saudi Arabia as a step forward towards solving the existing job problem for geography graduates, as well aas underlining the involvement and commitment of geographers to issues of development at the local, regional and national scales.

    Geographic analysis of manufacturing industry in Saudi Arabia (1986)
    Springer

    Notes: Abstract The study focuses on the analysis of manufacturing industry in Saudi Arabia by examining development, structure and spatial distribution. The analysis has shown that Saudi manufacturing is basically of recent development and is highly capital- and energy-intensive, particularly the hydrocarbon-based groups. Perhaps the most conspicuous weakness of Saudi industrialization is the almost total dependence on expatriate labour. Foreign capital and expertise share in the building and development of the industrial sector by providing technical, managerial, and marketing skills. Saudi industry is heavily subsidized by the government, and the public sector plays a commanding role in industrial development. Large-scale basic industries are owned and run by the government, while light manufacturing of the import-substitution type is dominated by the private sector. One of the main characteristics of manufacturing industry is that it is scantily diversified, modestly concentrated and remarkably linked geographically but not functionally or structurally. Although the authorities are exerting tremendous efforts to achieve a regional balance in industrial development, Saudi manufacturing industry is significantly polarized, urban-oriented and highly associated with the major axes of population scatter. Like all developing countries beginning to industrialize, Saudi manufacturing industry faces certain problems which have to be resolved so as to lay the foundations for a sound and prosperous industrial future. The paper goes on to indicate problems and to suggest solutions.

    Health care pattern and planning in Saudi Arabia (1989)

    Notes: Conclusion Although the study of workloads has shown superior medical services for the whole of Saudi Arabia, proliferation of more services is required in both the Northern and Southwestern regions where the standard of medical care falls short of the national average. Also more efforts have to be made to increase the number and improve on the performance of primary health care centres throughout the rural areas so as to reduce the contrast in the level of medical facilities between urban and rural areas. To be committed to such a high standard of medical care, it is not only important to build hospitals and health centres which are provided with the latest equipments, but it is also necessary to concentrate on the training of manpower. Medical colleges, nursing schools and technical institutes should take the responsibility to train more staff. In 1985 only 10% of the physicians working with the Ministry of Health were Saudis, and in case of the nursing and technical staff there is almost total dependence on expatriate labour. This is perhaps the most outstanding weakness in the Saudi medical service, but the situation is expected to improve during the coming decade as more medical and technical staff are expected to graduate from the various institutions. Finally, this study has shown that Saudi health services have grown substantially both in volume and quality during the past 20 years, thereby reflecting the seriousness of the authorities to deliver this vital service to all people. High quality medical services will lead to substantial reductions in the death rate, particularly that of infants, as a result of which the country will witness a rapid upsurge in population in the foreseeable future. A healthy and highly productive population is essential for a country experiencing an economic boom like Saudi Arabia.
