Abstract:
Civilization Interaction is an everyday life process that affects the city centers and that encourages their continuity in times and discourages them in others, in certainrelation between two : dialogue and conflict. This principle was the basis of study of one of the important phenomena related to the human existence : interaction betweencivilizations, whether dialogue or conflict, and the relation of these two poles on many levels and through many mechanisms, and the effect of this process on city centers positive or negative, according to the relation of these two poles and because that dialogue and conflict represent opposing extremes of the same phenomenon. Thecivilization interaction is changeable, sometimes the dialogue pole dominates, and sometimes the conflict pole. This is reflected on the city centers development. Theabsence of the comprehensive understanding of the co - existence of the two poles within this single phenomenon in architectural and non - architectural theses about thissubject is a reason that initiated this research. Accordingly, the research problem was formulated as " researching for the positive and negative factors in the process ofinteraction among the civilizations which happenes within the circumstances of occupation,and explanation of the degree of the circumstances on the process of interaction between the civilization of invader and the country which below the occupation.. The research theoretical goal is formulated as "to diagnose the change patterns that occur in historical city centers and define their nature, the change effected by the imposition of other civilizations (occupations) on the local ones (within the framework of the dialogue and conflict bipolar equation).On the practical level : the above - mentioned theoretical principles are applied to carefully chosen reallife examples. Using the analytical inductive methodology, the researcher has divided the research into six chapters : chapter one is dedicated to present a general introduction to civilization interaction and its effect on the changeability of historical city centers by listing and criticizing previous relevant researches and theses. Chapter two is devoted to discussing the concept of civilization and civilization interaction through many theses about the civilization interaction within its two poles, the factors that encourage this process and its levels and the alternation of this phenomenon between the poles. Then this relativity is further clarified through shedding light on city and its historical center that witnesses the process of the civilization interaction and the change of this center negatively and positively according to the relative movement between the two poles of the civilization interaction process and its effects on the variables of the center. Chapter four is devoted to build the theoretical framework through understanding one of these factors : occupation factor as one of the civilization interaction factors along with its two poles and the effect of this factor on the changeability of historical city centers within a mechanism of movement between the two poles of the process, through the analysis of chosen historical city centers of occupied civilizations affected by the civilization interaction, be it positive or negative, depending on the movement of the two poles of the process, especially regarding the urban expansion as a result for this factor. The research explain the existence of a gap in the knowledge in terms of relations, such as the relations of the two poles of the civilization interaction, the relativity of relationship between them, through the analysis of historical city centers within the civilization interaction process, affected by occupation factor according to relative criteria to measure this relation, derived from the theoretical framework (that is studied in Chapter four) and explained in chapter five (the practical application). The relation between the two poles of the civilization interaction was studied, along with their effect in the changeability of the historical city centers (of Baghdad, Aleppo, and Jerusalem).Chapter six is divided into two axes; the first was reserved for the conclusions from the research, while the second one is dedicated recommendations of the resear.
