Culture of neighborhood Anthropological study in popular housing areas

Abstract

The issue of neighborhood culture is one of the important topics that occupied anthropologists and social interest in general, as it represents social relations with multiple implications, including that it reflects a coherent and coherent social reality among members of society in general. Urban anthropology has devoted itself to the study of the city and considered it a distinct social unit in itself in terms of its origin and development, the factors affecting it and the social relations within it. The modern era witnessed great urban inflation as a result of rural population flows, which made the city face a rise in its growth rates due to the resulting rapid transformations In all economic, social and cultural levels, and as a result of this transformation that has occurred in urban growth, multiple housing patterns have emerged, among them the popularity and chaotic neighborhoods here and there in the suburbs and the parties without any planning, and it is noted that this unbalanced growth The unorganized reflected clearly on the type of relations between the population, so cities have become a type of population heterogeneity in characteristics and in the cultural and social background. This heterogeneity is accompanied by the emergence of relationships that were distinguished by impersonal and individual ideas and beneficial relations overwhelmed them. Because of the patterns that they inhabit, according to cultural values, relationships of solidarity, friendship and cooperation arose from them, but by virtue of the change in the housing system, many residents turned into different areas, as this led to the weakening of the neighborhood ties and emotions that arise between individuals, This study aims to reveal the nature of neighborhood relations in popular housing areas, learn about the cultural and social directives of neighborhood relations, and learn about images of popular cooperation and common social events for neighborhood relations. The study relied on the inductive and analytical method that clarifies scientific facts based on the studied social reality.
