Indicators of hospitalization in urban spaces of religious cities (Imam Hamza Al-Gharbi Street (pbuh) case study)

Noor Al-Huda Hamza Ajeel & Ameera Jalil Khamis
Abstract

The relationship between humans and the environment extends back to the beginnings of life, and this relationship has had an impact on mental, physical, and spiritual health. In recent times, modern research has focused on the topic of healthy environments, and several concepts have emerged, including the concept of healing in the urban environment, which represents the process of creating physical, social, and cultural environments that achieve psychological, physical, and spiritual health, and connect people to the environment to preserve and interact with it in a way that generates comfort and tranquility for the residents. The research is an attempt to study the role of sacred thresholds as therapeutic stimuli for the urban space of the city, through their positive impact on human health. The research problem was identified as the cognitive deficiency regarding the role of sacred thresholds as cultural and social stimuli in creating healthy urban spaces characterized by their ability to promote psychological, physical, and spiritual healing, which is reflected within these spaces through the diversity of user behavioral functions. The research hypotheses were identified, and the research adopted an inductive-experimental approach. The research samples were selected from the urban space adjacent to the western shrine of Imam Hamza (AS), and the space was monitored and filmed using aerial photography and 30-second videos (using a Mavic Air 2 camera and a mobile phone). The study revealed that urban spaces near the shrine are characterized by high therapeutic indicators and behavioral pattern diversity.
