“…It is important to state that this study looked at the open spaces as numbers without investigating the value and quality of these sites. Other studies (Mandeli, 2008;Mandeli, 2010;Aljoufiea et al, 2012;Addas, 2015;Yoseph, 2017;Addas, 2017;Addas & Rishbeth, 2018;Alawi & Mostafa, 2019;Mandeli, 2019)…”

Public open spaces are essential for residents’ social interactions and recreational activities, improving wellbeing as well as offering economic and environmental benefits. Saudi Arabia is aiming to enhance the quality of life in all its cities through different national programs and projects. One of the key performance indicators is increasing public open space per capita from 3.47 m2 to 3.9 m2 by 2020. This study measured the current public open space per inhabitant in Jeddah by using a geographic information system to identify the types of public open spaces that make up the per capita value in the city. Jeddah is located in a rapidly developing country, and it is a re-planned city where the current status of public open spaces falls short of users’ expectations and does not meet international standards. This study suggests that the Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs and municipalities should adopt a systematic approach to tackling the spatial distribution of open spaces in Saudi cities. In addition, there is a need for the proactive involvement of planners, landscape architects and designers in the planning process.

“…Cultural literacy [52] in landscape design and management becomes of crucial importance as the landscape architect or the team of architects from one cultural context working in another strongly different cultural context nowadays is everyday reality. Another aspect related with multiculturalism and landscape architecture are the global migration and contemporary multicultural cities [1][2][3][4]. Such cities require public spaces acceptable and comfortable for their diverse population [17; 34; 52; 54].…”

The paper presents the overview and comparative analysis of landscape cross-cultural and sub-cultural perception research methodologies in order to develop hypothetical methodological framework of interdisciplinary evaluation of cultural differences in landscape perception. The landscape research methods used for the analysis of impact of socio-cultural factors on landscape perception can be classified as mix of psychophysical and cognitive approach and are mostly based on the statistical analysis of the results of sociological research. Drawing the research closer to the relational concept, we propose the hypothetical methodological scheme of interdisciplinary evaluation of cultural differences in landscape perception that integrates landscape research with the knowledge of cultural studies, quantitative sociology (statistical analysis of the results of sociological research: factor analysis, component analysis, correlations, etc.), environmental psychology (cognitive mapping, Landscape Image Sketching Technique, landscape and environmental preferences, way finding, eye-tracking, etc.), and geography (geomatic) (geographic information systems, remote sensing).

Many countries of the world suffered the problem of historical neighborhoods within their urban entity, through various treatments and phases. Regardless of numerous treatments, the city in general is described as an organic entity that has past, present, and future. This past with its birth, originality, and transformation had to have relied on material and spiritual assets that surrounded it, and the urban texture that lived and continued in the peripheries of the cities during the past era is only cultural humanitarian production that interacted and was environmentally consistent and covered the human needs that were related to time and place. In this article, three international experiences were chosen from countries that are different in their geographic location and cultural heritage, and have analyzed their experiences to conserve the historical identity of cities, as follows: The first experience which is handled by the research is the experience of France in the renovation, conservation, and improvements of heritage sites. Any type of dealing on whatever level with historical areas (whether subject to maintenance, improvement or renewal) were subject and belonged to a general plan that was set based on a comprehensive view of the city as a whole, taking into account all elements that affect the problem, including economic, social, cultural and political matters. It is known that France holds advanced philosophical and theoretical heritage in the field of urban planning based on situations of the senior architects and theorists of planning in the past century. The second experience studied in this article takes place in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and presents astounding results in the field. It was renewed and was conserved by autonomous efforts by the rehabilitation of many historical cities and restoration of their vitality and spirituality to become attractive to tourism, heritage value, and investment. North America included the United State of America and Canada.
