UM ARUZAM TOWN is situated in the eastern part of the Coastline Stripe and at the Al
Bombah Gulf , Libya , with 40 km. eastern of Derna City, as well as, it belongs to the semi
arid land region, with very lack of rainfall and scarcity of water sources' in this region.
An attempt has aimed to study the population change size, growth rate attitudes and their
demographic & geographical characteristics'. The study has also estimated the population
ages structure &sex percentages change and with their Population Pyramid pattern. An
investigated has also studied the population resettled, and revealed the main factors affected
on the different geographical phenomenal of the area population. So, to a chive this goal,
besides the Censuses data, a random sample of 150 families were selected, representing8.1%
of the target population, was using questionnaire technique. As a result, the study generally indicated that UM ERUZAM population's growth curve was moved very slowly rate due to
high out migration. UM ERUZAM population's growth rate can be classified in to three
category groups: Maximum growth rate, which it has rapidly ranged from 4.4%-5.0% during
the period of 2015-2019and 1984-1995. Medium population growth rated less 3.0% which it
has recorded during the Censuses of (1973-1984 and 1995-2006 )and2006-2019. The
maximum growth rate of this area's population because the resettlements project for the
herding nomadic, Bedouin and to the agricultural projects as well as to civil jobs, with
available services facilities; e.g.; health's, schools, transportations', etc.. Low growth rate
under 2.0% it was recorded during the periods 1954-1964,1964-1973 and 2006-2015. It can
be attributed this rapidly decreased of population growth rate, and it expected to continue
decline, because it can be attributed to the failed of most development projects in this rural
area, as well as the growth rate is mainly depended on the natural growth with the lack of inmigration movement I . The main factor responsible the increases percentage of medium
ages group of the population community are the substantial improvement of health care,
educations and welfare facilities, which are available in this area. According to the
demographic cycle standers, the UM RUZAM population growth rate can be posted in the
third category , which it means that the population society is still belonged to the youth stages
