RESIDENTS'INTEGRITY IN THE CONCEPT OF HIJAB IN A SMALL TYPE OF URBAN ROW HOUSE

Abstract

The goal of this study was to investigate inhabitants' attitudes toward the application of the hijab idea to small-type residences in metropolitan areas. The primary rooms of a small house are usually the living room, bedroom, toilet, and kitchen. There is no apparent divide between public and private area with this constrained spatial plan. The hijab, as a teaching that governs behavior according to Islamic teachings, and a house that works to accommodate activities are supposed to work together to form an Islamic spatial layout. The descriptive approach is used in this study to assess the residents' integrity in applying the hijab idea to urban residences with restricted land area. This study includes two variables: (1) physical hijab, which consists of four indicators (layout, wall elements, doors, windows, furniture, fences, and plants); and (2) non-physical hijab, which consists of signs of resident and visitor behavior, as well as adab in Islam. The study's findings indicate that the occupants' integrity is moderate, with the concept of hijab in urban dwellings manifested in (1) physical hijab with spatial planning that separates public and private spaces; and (2) non-physical hijab in the form of behavior or manners that apply Islamic rules
