Social world, hiking and nation: The Israel National Trail
Hiking is a system of spatial behaviour. This study explores hiking as practiced along the Israel National Trail and posits that hiking and the hikers' community together constitute a 'social world'. Our study asked three primary research questions: As the mobility of hiking is typically contextualized within the social world of the pastime, how has the conceptualizations of social world and mobility contributed to the research? What are the char…
Why Do People Hike? Hiking the Israel National Trail
The main aim of this study is to better understand why people hike the Israel National Trail (INT) and the behavioural, experiential, and spatiotemporal phenomena that accompany this activity. In this explorative study, we assumed that hiking the INT encompasses both universalistic aspects of hiking, in its capacity as a mobility system shared by hikers of long‐distance trails worldwide, and particularistic aspects of hiking, that can be identifi…

Water Resources and Conflict in the Middle East
The Middle East is a region of international concern and political unrest. This book forms a complete reference to both the hydrological as well as the social, economic, political and legal issues in the region and shows how water shortages threaten the renewal of military conflicts and disruption in the area. With resources over-extended due to natural and human causes, the book analyses the river basins of the Euphrates, Tigris, Nile and Jordan…
Environmental Change and its Implications for Population Migration
"This volume provides an ample overview of state-of-the-art understanding of the multi-dimensional phenomenon of migration, in the characterisation of migration drivers, in environmental and agro-economic case studies and modelling issues as well as socio-political analyses."--BOOK JACKET
Wait For Us - We're Not Ready Yet: Holy Land Preparations for the New Millennium - The Year 2000
The purpose of the paper is to examine the premise that pilgrimage to the Holy Land in the year 2000 was staged as a 'hallmark event' for Israel, and to a lesser extent, Jordan and the Palestinian Authority. Many Christian sacred sites are located in Israel (Jerusalem, Nazareth and the Sea of Galilee) and in the Palestinian-held areas (Bethlehem). Staging a mega event or a hallmark event in Israel/Palestine, a region renowned for its political in…

Turning desert to bloom: Israeli‐Jordanian peace proposals for the Jordan rift valley
This study examines the recent peace plans for the Jordan Rift Valley, located between Jordan and Israel. With the expansion of the peace process in the Middle East, a number of documents were prepared that included plans for the development of the Jordan Rift Valley. These include the peace treaty between Jordan and Israel; a peace plan prepared by Israel; a peace plan developed by Jordan; and a plan made by the World Bank for the development of…
Resettling Displaced People in North and South Cyprus: A Comparison
The Turkish and Greek Cypriote became internally displaced within the borders of Cyprus in two different periods and in two different ways. Both communities constitute con-national refugees—an outcome of intercommunal conflict in 1958 and in 1960-63 (the Turkish community) and the Turkish occupation of 1974 (the Greek community). This paper compares the two communities each to the other and to other groups of con-national refugees. The Turkish Cy…

Place-Names in Israel's Ideological Struggle over the Administered Territories
This paper deals with the symbolic role of place-names as expressions of ideological values. Names are symbolic elements of landscape that reflect abstract or concrete national and local sentiments and goals. In the case of Israel, the selection of place-names has become a powerful tool for reinforcing competing national Zionist ideologies. Implicit in this competition are two major Israeli place-name themes: the message of essentialism or contin…

The collapse of the Lebanese state
In the 1980s, Lebanon cannot be considered to be a sovereign independent state, and its government controls neither most of the territory of the state nor its people. Lebanon, which was established as an independent state in 1946, is a jigsaw of religious-ethnic communities which share a long history of continuous conflict. There are several Christian communities in Lebanon: the Maronites consider themselves to be the founders of the Lebanese sta…

Place Identity of the Israeli Kibbutz
Place identity of the kibbutz in Israel is shaped by its collective identity which is reflected in the landscape. The individuality of a kibbutz member is expressed in a single landscape element: private gardens in front of the family residences. The kibbutz center is regarded as sacred space; concentrated in it are all the communal institutions including the most important and conspicuous structure, the dining hall. Behavior circuits strengthen …
