Abstract

The researchers used the methods of social survey and comparative approach. Part of the research community, namely, the interview, the observation and the questionnaire, and was based on the "non-probabilistic" sample of 200 displaced persons returning to Mosul and 200 displaced persons returning to Ramadi. The researchers found several results, the most important of which is that there is a similarity between the displaced in the reasons of their displacement between the two cities, in order to feel safe and with many problems, including: the inability to adapt, the cost of rent allowances, begging, homelessness, alcohol and drug addiction, Family relations, the spread of epidemics, diseases, etc., and distrust of the central government in achieving security.
