Chapter 1: Introduction of Socotra Island Ahmad Abdelmoneim ZedanThis chapter will present facts of Socotra Island and the need of research of Socotri people, heritage, and cultures.
Chapter 2: Alia YunisWhile UNESCO deemed Socotra as having "universal values" because of its unique and threatened ecology, it failed to mention the uniqueness of the indigenous people and their relationship to its flora and fauna. This chapter considers whether the Socotra people's relationship to the dragon tree becoming a World Heritage Site in 2008 and emerging as an adventure tourism destination in the past five years has created an erasure of local heritage.
Chapter 3: Petr SauerThis chapter will create a special methodology for multicriteria assessment of utility from visiting destinations with a function of "winter exotic tourism" for people from abroad, particularly from "the North". Socotra Island, as a destination with emerging tourism, will be one of these sites. This arrangement will make it possible to make a comparison of conditions for tourism in existing destinations and in emerging ones. A draft application of the methodology will be managed based on publicly available data.
Chapter 4: Taghreed M. Abu SarhanAlthough Socotra's flora and fauna have been extensively studied, little is known about family life, including parenting and childrearing. As change comes to Socotra, it is important to understand the protective factors that will keep families strong. This chapter will present an ethnographic study using observation and semi- and un-structured individual and group dialogue/interviews with Socotri people. The goal is to increase our understanding of Socotri families, including gender roles, expectations for children, and responses to change.
Chapter 5: Qais Ibrahim AlmeqdadThe aim of this chapter is to present research on Socotri people with disabilities and how are they treated by family and society in this remote island. This research will use an ethnographic study applying observation method and semi- and un-structured individual and group dialogue/interviews with Socotri people.

This chapter will focus on understanding indigenous Socotri traditions and how can they form strategies to preserve the special ecology of these islands as pressure from development grows. The aim is to learn how Socotri people have preserved the environment across the generations, and how changes are impacting them.
Chapter 7: Federica Letizia Cavallo & Giovanna Di MatteoOur contribution focuses on Socotra's traditional fishing from the perspective of human geography - considering its constrains and opportunities.
