آليات مهنة الخدمة الاجتماعية في تنمية الوعي المروري للشباب الجامعي : بحث ميداني مطبق على طلبة جامعة السلطان قابوس

الملخص EN

Cause of traffic accidents in various countries around the world drain a huge amount of human and material resources that not only hinder the process of socio-economic development, but also represent a security concern for leaders and those responsible for the security, health and economic spheres in those countries.

Since the human factor is primarily responsible for the occurrence of such accidents through negative traffic behaviours, it is in the opinion of the researchers the social work profession, through its mechanisms, should intervene to help in raising traffic awareness with a view to modifying those behaviours.

Therefore the problem of the current research is embodied in an attempt to identify the level of traffic awareness among university students, by focusing on the two concepts of “traffic awareness” and “traffic incident”.

The research is descriptive and based on a social survey of a random sample selected from the students of Sultan Qaboos University.

The research results show the level of traffic awareness among respondents and suggest recommendations for its development to ensure effective response to the problem of traffic accidents.
