Abstract

Dana is located in the province of Tafilah in the South Jordan. It is a village between mountains abandoned by its inhabitants who had moved to El Kadissia to enjoy services such as electricity, roads and schools. But they returned to their beloved village, restored the old houses and preserved them despite its unsuitabe roads. The Royal Association played a great role in the protection of nature and founded the women’s association which produces artifacts as, jewelry and dried vegetables and fruit, which are considered as a source of income. Women also started working in the field of tourism, in souvenir shops. The episode shows the great change, as the rural woman became a partner in the development, working side by side with man in all fields. Some successful experiences of the village residents are shown.
