“…Since the year 2000, several local government organizations have started to introduce the concept of CCs. The country’s vision of 2030 is now changing the concepts of design and planning for urban space at micro scales; for this, establishing new CCs is gaining popularity as part of modernizing the country (Fakieh, 2016).…”

Purpose The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) has been experiencing extensive development in the fields of architecture and planning in recent decades, which has included developing community centers in neighborhoods. These community centers have significant impacts on the social, cultural, recreational and economic lives of the inhabitants. The study has looked into the concept of modeled and non-modeled community centers among 114 neighborhoods. Moreover, the study aims to suggest that decision-makers should make efficient decisions to uphold amenities through the centers at the neighborhood level after considering the evaluation techniques included in this paper to ensure a sustainable urbanization. Design/methodology/approach The authors collected both qualitative and quantitative information through structured and un-structured interviews in the city of Jeddah. Afterward, the authors evaluated the centers with a summarized grading point based on qualitative judgments. Note that the online questionnaire survey was prepared to distribute in approximately 100 neighborhoods. However, 71 neighborhoods took part in the survey, with a total number of 402 responses. Moreover, the authors made a subjective evaluation of the studied neighborhoods to understand the quality of services offered by the community centers. Findings The obtained results reveal that the community centers in the city of Jeddah are playing important roles for socialization, allowing younger people to interact in a positive way, providing services to the communities and supporting volunteer work in and around the neighborhoods. Consequently, the research paper emphasizes the future needs of these important social infrastructures as part of a neighborhood design tool in the context of Jeddah city, KSA. Originality/value This research attempts to document the need for community centers in the city of Jeddah. Consequently, the study evaluates 26 different community centers to understand whether the improvements are required for supporting community activities. Indeed, few research works have made an effort to study community centers’ role in urban life in a unique geographic context. Through this research project, the authors have highlighted the implications of community centers in urban life in the city of Jeddah.

“…As it turned out, female adolescents experience greater challenges. The factor of gender is seldom addressed and rarely described in other studies, although it remains paramount given the gender equality campaigns that currently take place in the world (Fakeeh, 2016).…”

“…About five thousand students and children on scholarships have ASD. In compliance with KSA's Vision 2030 and The National Transformation Plan 2020, which provides for the empowerment of persons with disabilities, the Ministry of Labour and Social Development has ordered to cancel scholarships for young people with ASD and finance the relevant ASD services in KSA instead (Fakeeh, 2016). KSA runs short of essential services for ASD youth, and thus, it is necessary to develop new high-quality services in different centres and establishments (Alshuwaikhat & Mohammed, 2017).…”

The study investigates the problems of adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) from the perspective of ASD specialists and adolescent’s families. It comprises of 228 ASD specialists and 294 families of ASD adolescents. The sample represents all areas of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (henceforth – KSA): north, south, east, west and centre. Variables of the study are adolescents’ gender, age, residential area, as well as the qualification of ASD specialists and family members. To accomplish the study, the researchers designed a questionnaire that includes variables regarding six significant problems: Educational, Recreational, Economic, Health, Psychological, and Social. The results reveal that families rate the economic problems higher than average, while the recreational ones – lower; specialists rate economic problems higher than average and educational ones – the lowest. As for gender variable, specialists and families note the differences in favour of females; for age variable, specialists and families note that 15-18 years old ASD adolescents have more problems. The results show that qualification of specialists as well as family members is of significant relevance in relation to ASD adolescents. Both specialists and family members are mostly from the central regions.

This study focuses on the decline in math scores among fourth-grade students in Saudi Arabia, which is a significant concern. The Saudi Arabian Ministry of Education is taking steps to improve education and provide students with the necessary skills for their future careers. Understanding what affects student achievement is key to solving this problem. Motivation in education is a critical factor that influences students' attitudes and their success in school. This research looks at how academic motivation affects educational success through a process called mediation analysis. It considers how self-concept and values, which come from motivation, play a role. The study uses the expectancy-value theory of achievement motivation to create a model that explores how motivation and other factors like school bullying, feeling connected to school, and perceptions of teachers interact and affect each other. Mediation analysis helps examine the direct and indirect effects these factors have on student achievement. Data from the trends in international mathematics and science study (TIMSS) for fourth graders in Saudi Arabia is used to see if the theory fits with the experiences of Saudi students. The findings show that self-confidence is crucial for academic performance, affecting students' motivation, readiness to face challenges, and overall learning attitude. However, math attitude does not directly influence self-concept. School bullying is identified as a significant negative factor in math achievement. These outcomes stress the need to address school bullying to improve math scores and highlight the importance of self-concept and motivation in boosting academic success.
