 At the time of the Prophet, the mosque was a center for worship activities and economic activities, learning, socio-politics, etc. From this mosque environment, great figures in Islam were born who were not only strong in religion but also intellectually and mentally. However, the mosque has decreased in function now so that it is only a place of prayer. This phenomenon also occurs in the city of Medan, which is one of the largest cities in Indonesia, with the majority of the population being Muslim. Therefore, Medan often becomes the center of various activities, including Islamic religious activities in the area. Unfortunately, Medan does not yet have adequate facilities that can accommodate various Islamic religious activities, so it needs an activity center known as an Islamic center. The design of the Islamic center in the city of Medan solves design problems with an approach methodology ranging from literature studies, site surveys, and design concept analysis. This Islamic center applies a design concept by taking Islamic values ​​that are not indifferent to the surrounding environment so that elements of the local culture are still considered. It is hoped that this Islamic center will not only be able to become a center of activity, especially Islamic religious activities in Medan, but also an area of ​​learning about Islamic and local values ​​in its design

Abstract: Islamic architecture appears not only as mere ornament, but is a media that plays an important role that has its own charm for every visitor/user, because a good design must respond to geography, location, climate, size, culture and others. The dome-shaped mosque building has thrived in the Islamic world and has become a symbol of expression of the structure and identity of a mosque. However, in the last two decades, many mosques without domes have appeared in Indonesia. Mosques with modern geometric elements are increasingly standing majestically in several areas in Indonesia. Some architects began to eliminate the dome element in the mosque, but still displayed Islamic values. One of the mosques without a dome is the Great Mosque of West Sumatra. The design is a square building that instead of a dome but instead forms a gonjong. The design of the Great Mosque of West Sumatra was criticized by several figures in West Sumatra, who said that the design of the mosque was unusual because it did not have a dome due to some literature stating that one part of the mosque was a 'dome'. news about the existence of a mosque ornament which is claimed to be a form of motif commonly used by Jews (Pentagram). The purpose of the study was to identify the design idea of the Roof of the Great Mosque of West Sumatra which describes the shape of the stretch of cloth used to carry the Hajar Aswad stone, the concept of three symbols: the springs (the elements of nature), the crescent moon and the Gadang House. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative. The results of the study indicate that the value and meaning of the architectural design philosophy of the roof of the Great Mosque of West Sumatra, which is represented by the architect in its design concept, has a lot of compatibility with the mosque building that has been designed. The concept is very clearly visible so that even ordinary people are very easy to understand.Keywords: Mosque Roof, Bagonjong Roof, Representation Abstrak: Arsitektur Islam muncul bukan hanya sebatas ornamen semata tetapi merupakan media yang berperan penting yang memiliki daya tarik tersendiri bagi setiap pengunjungnya/pemakainya, karena sebuah desain yg baik harus merespon geografi, lokasi, iklim, ukuran, budaya dan lain-lain. Bangunan Masjid berbentuk kubah telah tumbuh subur dalam dunia Islam dan menjadi sebuah simbol ekspresi struktur dan identitas dari sebuah masjid. Namun dua dekade terakhir ini di Indonesia mulai banyak bermunculan bangunan masjid tanpa kubah. Masjid dengan unsur-unsur geomotrik modern semakin banyak berdiri dengan megah di beberapa wilayah di Indonesia. Beberapa arsitek mulai menghilangkan unsur kubah pada masjid, namun tetap menampilkan nilai-nilai Islami. Salah satu masjid tanpa kubah tersebut adalah Masjid Raya Sumatera Barat. Rancangannya berupa bangunan persegi yang alih-alih berkubah tapi justru membentuk gonjong. Hasil rancangan Masjid Raya Sumatera Barat pernah dikritik oleh beberapa tokoh di Sumatera Barat, yang menyebutkan rancangan masjid tidak lazim lantaran tidak memiliki kubah karena adanya beberapa literatur yang menyatakan bahwa salah satu bagian dari masjid itu adalah ‘kubah’, bahkan ada beberapa keraguan tersebut yang berhembus kabar tentang adanya bentuk ornament masjid yang diklaim sebagai bentuk motif yang biasa dipakai orang Yahudi (Pentagram). Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengidentifikasi gagasan desain Atap Masjid Raya Sumatera Barat yang menggambarkan bentuk bentangan kain yang digunakan untuk mengusung batu Hajar Aswad, konsep dari tiga simbol: sumber mata air (the springs: unsur alam), bulan sabit dan Rumah Gadang. Metode yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah deskriptif kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa nilai dan makna filosofi desain arsitektur atap masjid Raya Sumatera Barat yang direpresentasikan oleh arsitek dalam konsep desainnya, terdapat banyak kesesuaian dengan bangunan masjid yang sudah dirancangnya. Konsep tersebut sangat nampak jelas terlihat sehingga orang awam pun sangat mudah untuk memahaminya.Kata Kunci: Atap Masjid, Atap Bagonjong, Representasi

In this essay, we are interested in examining migrating Catholic communities which were shaped and reshaped within the historical context of Viet Nam war in 1954. They were established after the migration of millions of Catholics from Northern to Southern Viet Nam immediately after Geneva Agreement in 1954. Therefore, by examining the particular structural traits of the emigration Catholic Communities we attempt to reconstruct the reproducing process of village structure based on the communities’ triple structure: kinship structure, governmental structure and religious organization.

Because current emissions accounting approaches focus on an entire city, cities are often considered to be large emitters of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, with no attention to the variation within them. This makes it more difficult to identify climate change mitigation strategies that can simultaneously reduce emissions and address place-specific development challenges. In response to this gap, a bottom-up emissions inventory study was undertaken to identify high emission zones and development goals for the Durban metropolitan area (eThekwini Municipality). The study is the first attempt at creating a spatially disaggregated emissions inventory for key sectors in Durban. The results indicate that particular groups and economic activities are responsible for more emissions, and socio-spatial development and emission inequalities are found both within the city and within the high emission zone. This is valuable information for the municipality in tailoring mitigation efforts to reduce emissions and address development gaps for low-carbon spatial planning whilst contributing to objectives for social justice.

Purpose This study aims to conduct an experimental investigation into the effectiveness of using Islamic values and environmental knowledge in advertising for plant disposable containers on the level of willingness to purchase such products for religious ceremonies and rituals among Muslim consumers in Iran. Design/methodology/approach A sample of 270 individuals participating in one of the religious assemblies in the city of Shiraz in Iran was classified into three groups (a control and two experimental groups). A pretest was administered for each group; then both experimental groups received brochures whose contents were associated with environmental and religious messages about environmental protection. After four days, a post-test was similarly conducted for each group. The data were collected through a questionnaire and analyzed using one-way analysis of variance. Findings The results revealed that the use of religious and environmental messages in advertising for plant disposable containers could boost the willingness to purchase such containers for religious ceremonies and rituals; however, the effectiveness of using religious messages was stronger compared to that of the environmental ones. Research limitations implications Given that the present study was conducted based on an experimental research design in a real context, there was the possibility of the presence of other variables outside the control of the study design and affecting its results. Practical implications Increased awareness regarding the harmful environmental impacts of plastic containers and emphasis on religious duties to protect the environment can affect targeting a sector of the Muslim community endowed with strong religious beliefs. Originality/value This study confirmed that consumer values and beliefs could have effects on their purchase and consumption behaviors.

Cairo is a constantly expanding and changing megalopolis, whose residents negotiate the binary oppositions of centre/periphery, development/poverty, and local/global. This paper investigates the literary representation of the Egyptian capital in four novels by Shalabī and Abū Julayyil published between 1981 and 2008. Firstly, it overviews recent scholarship about the literary geography of Cairo. Then, it examines the narrative techniques employed by Shalabī and Abū Julayyil to portray semi-official spaces, such as historical palaces now in decline, hash dens, shantytowns, and buildings on the verge of collapse. I argue that these spaces interact with the rest of the city, while developing a highly local culture, embodied by eccentric humorous characters.
