More than half of the Negev Bedouin population, before the beginning of the third millennia, left the desert and settled in small towns of modern character.

The main problems remained unchanged: (a) limitations on freedom of choice and movement, (b) lack of personal independence, and (c) the heavy burden of housekeeping.
