Description

World has been through many economic and financial crises in the past ages that vary according to their causes, repercussions and direct and indirect effects on individuals, states and governments. These crises had been studied in wide range by researchers from an economic perspective, but they did not address the extent of awareness of individuals in these crises. Therefore, this study focuses on the awareness of Omani citizens of the economic crisis due to its importance in facing such crisis. Additionally, the economic crisis is of a great importance, therefore, it is necessary to raise awareness of citizens of it, its consequences, and how to face it. In addition, there is a need for citizens to be aware of the economic culture, which is a culture of consumption and saving, as we are facing these days many challenges that necessitate learning many basic economic concepts, to be able to use and apply them. Therefore, this study is considered as an attempt to reach the concepts, facts, economic and social values of citizens, which form a mental framework that helps citizens to understand the economic reality, its policies, transformations and problems. We hope also that this framework directs the economic activities of citizens to contribute with the development of society so they can have a suitable life which is free of economic problems. Accordingly, the study focused on achieving a number of objectives which are as follows: to reveal the awareness of the Omani society about the causes and consequences of the crisis, to identify the Omanis' awareness of the economic crisis effects, whether they are social, cultural, economic or health, and to investigate the level of awareness according to different demographic, economic and social characteristics of the study sample. Finally, to reveal the expectations of Omani society about the occurrence of such crises in the future and to report suggestions made by respondents on how to avoid such crises in the future. The study will use two types of tools for data collection. The first one is the questionnaire, which will be directed to a random sample of Omani society members, in addition to the interview, which will be applied to a number of employees working in the Ministry of Finance or workers with economic specialists. The study will be applied on a representative sample from the different governorates of the Sultanate (North, Central and South), which will include a number of Omanis from different social, economic and cultural levels. As for the time domain, the study will be carried out over a period of two years in several stages (desktop research, collection of preliminary sources, preparation and arbitration of study tools, fieldwork and data collection, analysis and discussion of results) during certain times to be determined.
