Summary

Traditional Palestinian dwellings in Hebron's historic district, characterized by their agricultural construction and peasant architecture, reveal intricate design elements and materials that reflect the cultural history of Palestine within Islamic civilization. The study identifies key structural and architectural components unique to this vernacular style, distinguishing it from formal Islamic city designs. Through descriptive, analytical, and documentary methods—supported by images and diagrams—the research highlights the critical role of authentic foundations in preserving these dwellings during restoration. It emphasizes the responsibility of society, institutions, and engineers in safeguarding Hebron's traditional architecture, which stands as a vital resource for understanding regional cultural heritage.
