Ramadan: indications of debtors

Some of their vision beyond the street that a physical entity debit found for the movement, so they are clearly away from the valuable material on the classic route to the value of community outreach They see on the street continues to be a social and find a place to meet and interact who are building community Urbanite interdependent, and if not Street failed to function this turns into a mere component of industrial dead debtors have no real value of only one movement. 

What is personally believe that the street in the city has such contemporary social value and become merely functional outlet for cars is no place for social convergence. Surprisingly, the value of the street or in the traditionally Arab city is the traditional social value and "the right of easement" any right of passage is a social right compromise by dropping people from their property for the manufacture of public space in the city. The strange thing is that (Braudel) when compare between the cities of the Mediterranean basin and southern Romanian northern Arab / Islamic stressed that the concept of public space in the Islamic city park which was contrary to the concept of space in cities Romanian Open to all, but he criticized the shrinking of public space opening up of European cities in The present time. The face is that Astgrabi (Braudel) never did understand the composition of the Arab city and the concept of public space in which meanings and semantic Street and symbolic value (language), which are manufactured relationship Whole scene and the market. All these relations move a set of social meanings unforeseen create a sense of public city. Can confirm here that the Arab city can be better understood across the population rather than through wood, which contained the stone homes. Can understand this city more in Ramadan in the school thirty days seem old city social cell animation and everything becomes meaningless.

Starting on the evidence of the Arab street in the city in very clear language in the very organization that, despite the tortuous and uneven form used by everyone, there are methods used some of the city's population and there are methods used by homes located on the road, which is difficult to organize an internal reading material and every street indicative meaning Particularly by road, which links public market Mosque and lead to the seat of government often Ati_kl where social meanings Taatmzar deep in the practice of daily life in clear and often symbolic significance as a show Whole axes by maneuvering exciting visual show, while internal roads where populations that are meaningless In warm warm show of Ramadan strongly show Ramadan habits, some of which still hold today. I remind myself I lived in the city of Hofuf old Ramadan mean that my childhood life of the evening through the streets of the city while they sleep for days in the year by virtue of Ramadan at dawn and turned the road within the space community to warm festive time of magic passes (Botabilh or bewitched) and his successor will walk on the streets of the city echo Allaghaseg that was sought, the old city was celebrating Ramadaan dramatically which we lost completely in these days, we have wide streets but the king makes a social organization for these street value of social indicative whether in Ramadan or not Ramadan.



Urban rituals during Ramadan seem obvious in the market and recall here that the market Caesarean section in the city of Hofuf (like all markets in the cities I visited the old Arab many of them in Ramadan) celebrates Ramadaan particular manner, no one denies the movement of trade caused by the mobility of Ramadan, which constitute the first since the beginnings The city's Arab / Islamic and social values were formed around many can not ignore the month of Ramadan for consumption as that month of knowledge and patience, perhaps this contradiction between those involved assumed that contradict one another is what makes the nature of the market in the old Arab city in the area to celebrate Ramadan and watching the opening ceremonies and social evening in Particular details of the city where the internal activities of some consumer moves to a depth of the city to make it open to the street on the city, what more does not allow outside Ramadan be available this month in "social", which reveals the flexibility of the Old City and its ability to shape and absorption of temporary and permanent change and the ability of its population Dealing with the events that make renewed signs of physical perimeter, although indications linked the occasion of this event but "repetitive" manufacture memory and the accumulation of experience metropolitan. In the Arab Old City and there was still gather points where men and another for youth and children in the city are old there "Almcrac" rally which older age at dawn to see the sunrise every day, in fact, the place of social dialogue and an instrument for continuing the city and in this place becomes Ramadan space for even Samar After dawn prayers. Old City was "breathing" socially was not closed as some claim, but was open to the full population but were closed to the strange and uncovering its secrets easily to anyone except when they become part of it, yet it during Ramadan is trying to be less closed sense that "Devils Mcefdh" opened the city at night and makes it all the points of convergence of city streets so that I feel that Hofuf other city in Ramadan and I feel some alienation after the voting, I still feel bitterness in my throat even today not because the modern city feel the same alienation, Ramadan, like other months In this city of Vietnam, but I've always felt babyish first day of Eid, and I can not interpret that even after all these long years.

What I would like to say here that the city must respond to events and must be turned semantic meaning as appropriate and not become rigid The old Arab city wear several constants throughout the year as appropriate and perhaps some of these Thobes still feel especially in cities that still maintain the old heart City mere ceremonial and celebratory mass undoubtedly is not the pace of Ramadan and one thing and another thing the holidays and every form of celebratory occasion, which turned him streets and squares and even facades housing, before all this sense of people and style when dealing with space city. We are waiting for Ramadan this year I do not know whether the Saudi contemporary city will feel they have not yet ready to celebrate Ramadan or they become accustomed one type of celebration throughout the year to other inhabitants do not make sense connotations debtors different each time.
