Abstract

In Muslim society, the understanding of hijab varies, so the implications for space also vary. Socially, this is possible due to differences in the interpretation of the Qur'an and its implementation. Many Muslim societies operate spatial practices related to clothes and religion, and using clothing as a physical boundary reflects how a person responds to outsiders in their dwelling. The privacy zone in Muslim dwellings can be mapped through the clothing practices found there. This study uses case studies of privacy in six Muslim dwellings as seen through occupants' various clothing practices, from wearing no hijab to wearing hijab with niqab. The study found that the privacy boundaries in Muslim dwellings follow different rules in terms of privacy zones than those of general privacy and investigates the way Muslim women's clothing practices become an expression of spatial boundaries in everyday life. This study suggests the importance for designers of dwellings to consider the beliefs and cultures of inhabitants, including those related to privacy zones based on religious beliefs.

服装作为空间边界:考虑印尼穆斯林住宅的隐私边界

在穆斯林社会，对头巾的理解各不相同，因此对空间的含义也各不相同。在社会上，由于对《古兰经》的解释和执行的不同，这是可能的。许多穆斯林社会都有与服装和宗教有关的空间实践，并将服装作为物理边界，反映了一个人对居住中的外人的反应。穆斯林住所的隐私区可以通过在那里发现的服装习惯来绘制。这项研究使用了六个穆斯林住宅的隐私案例研究，通过居住者的各种服装习惯，从不戴头巾到戴头巾和尼卡布。研究发现，穆斯林住宅的隐私边界在隐私区域方面遵循与一般隐私不同的规则，并研究了穆斯林妇女的服装实践如何成为日常生活中空间边界的表达。这项研究表明，住宅设计师考虑居民的信仰和文化的重要性，包括那些基于宗教信仰的隐私区。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Islamic Architecture (IJIA) publishes bi-annually, peer-reviewed articles on the urban design and planning, architecture and landscape architecture of the historic Islamic world, encompassing the Middle East and parts of Africa and Asia, but also the more recent geographies of Islam in its global dimensions. The main emphasis is on the detailed analysis of the practical, historical and theoretical aspects of architecture, with a focus on both design and its reception. The journal also aims to encourage dialogue and discussion between practitioners and scholars. Articles that bridge the academic-practitioner divide are highly encouraged. While the main focus is on architecture, papers that explore architecture from other disciplinary perspectives, such as art, history, archaeology, anthropology, culture, spirituality, religion and economics are also welcome. The journal is specifically interested in contemporary architecture and urban design in relation to social and cultural history, geography, politics, aesthetics, technology and conservation. Spanning across cultures and disciplines, IJIA seeks to analyse and explain issues related to the built environment throughout the regions covered. The audience of this journal includes both practitioners and scholars. The journal publishes both online and in print. The first issue was published in January 2012.
