The Impact of the Religious Dimension as Building, Urban Fabric and the Social Behavior of the Population

The M'Zab Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Algeria, exemplifies how religious architecture and urban design have shaped social behavior and urban authenticity. This study reveals that the Islamic urban fabric of Ghardaia, founded by the Abadites in the 10th century, blends practical creativity with ethical systems to adapt to the region's harsh climate while preserving architectural uniqueness. The research highlights the valley's enduring influence on urban planning, showcasing its adaptive design, aesthetic appeal, and social customs—inspirations that continue to attract global attention.
