Abstract

The main concern of this paper is to explore and analyze the influence of the environment on the built heritage in Saudi Arabia. It is hypothesized that the environment formed and initiated the main features of the built heritage in Saudi Arabia. This influence, in addition, is adapted through different variables such as cultural, natural, and climate, including religion, traditions, geology, location, land nature and soil, and macroclimate and microclimate. These variables, in fact, formed the main features of the built heritages, including pattern, type and character. Other external factors, to some extent, also influenced the architectural elements of the built heritage, especially the interrelationship with other civilizations (Wang et al in Heritage 4:2942–2959. https://doi.org/10.3390/heritage4040164, 2021). The investigation of the environmental variables, therefore, used to define the influence of each variable on the main features of different buildings of the built heritage, particularly houses, and palaces in Saudi Arabia. The analysis, moreover, focused on the shared features of these buildings in the main regions of Saudi Arabia. The purpose is to define that although the climate and the natural variables may differ in Saudi Arabia, the built heritage shares the main urban pattern and architectural features mostly as a result of the influence of the cultural variable, particularly the religion, traditions, and habits. In other words, cultural variables have a direct influence on defining the shared features of the built heritage. Furthermore, the rationale of this analysis is to prove that the built heritage is highly valuable because it was initiated and developed as a part of its environment. It afforded its residents with their religious, traditions, habits, social, and living necessities. Therefore, it requires protection for the future generations in Saudi Arabia (Alnaim MM (2022b) J Archit Plann 34:223–238. https://doi.org/10.33948/JAP-KSU-34-2-5, 2022b; Spahic in A conceptual framework for sustainability in Islamic architecture: the significance of the islamic concepts of man and the environment.

环境对建筑遗产的影响，沙特阿拉伯地区

摘要本文主要探讨和分析环境对沙特阿拉伯建筑遗产的影响。假设环境形成并启动了沙特阿拉伯建筑遗产的主要特征。此外，这种影响还通过文化、自然和气候等不同变量来适应，包括宗教、传统、地质、位置、土地性质和土壤，以及宏观气候和微观气候。事实上，这些变量构成了建筑遗产的主要特征，包括模式、类型和特征。其他外部因素也在一定程度上影响着建筑遗产的建筑元素，尤其是与其他文明的相互关系（Wang et al in Heritage 4:2942-2959. https://doi.org/10.3390/heritage4040164, 2021）。因此，对环境变量的调查用于确定每个变量对沙特阿拉伯不同建筑遗产（尤其是房屋和宫殿）主要特征的影响。此外，分析的重点是沙特阿拉伯主要地区这些建筑的共同特征。这样做的目的是为了确定，尽管沙特阿拉伯的气候和自然变量可能有所不同，但建筑遗产的主要城市格局和建筑特征却基本相同，这主要是受文化变量，特别是宗教、传统和习惯的影响。换言之，文化变量对确定建筑遗产的共同特征具有直接影响。此外，这一分析的基本原理是证明建筑遗产具有很高的价值，因为它是作为环境的一部分而产生和发展的。它为居民提供了宗教、传统、习惯、社会和生活必需品。因此，需要为沙特阿拉伯的子孙后代提供保护（Alnaim MM (2022b)，J Archit Plann 34:223-238。https://doi.org/10.33948/JAP-KSU-34-2-5, 2022b；Spahic 在《伊斯兰建筑中的可持续发展概念框架：伊斯兰人类与环境概念的意义》中的论述。建筑环境中的技术与可持续性会议，2010 年 1 月 3-6 日。利雅得，2010 年）。
