Abstract

The research attempts to measure the impact of a group of indicators for the dimensions of human development in the Egyptian governorates (Gross Domestic Product Index - Life Expectancy Index - Education Index) in the period from (2010-2022), using the descriptive analytical approach and the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), where Differences appeared in the level of human development between the governorates (it decreased slightly) from the year (2010-2022), through governorates that appeared at the first level, such as the governorates of (Port Said - Cairo - Suez - Alexandria), other governorates recorded a low level, And others are at an intermediate level, which gives an indication of the development trends in the lower governorates while exploiting the spatial potential in the governorates. Accordingly, the governorates can be classified according to that variation to determine priorities for directing development according to the values of each guide and the extent of the need of each governorate. It turns out that (the education index) is the strongest influence. In the rise in human development rates with a regression coefficient (0.98), followed by the GDP index with a regression coefficient (0.004), with a severe decline in the life expectancy rate with a coefficient (-0.004). This result is explained by the Covid-19 pandemic, With the classification of the Egyptian governorates in terms of levels of human development, the research recommended the necessity of achieving balance between the governorates by paying attention to focusing development on the three sectors of human development in (Fayoum - Minya - Assiut - Sohag), and paying attention to the health sector in (Beni Suef - Qena - Luxor - Damietta). - Dakahlia), and in the educational sector in Luxor Governorate.
