本文旨在通过实证分析来探讨发展中城市的文化与住房偏好之间的关系。基于阿莫斯·拉波波特的框架，本研究将“文化”一词分解为不同的组成部分，并测试它们作为加沙城住房偏好预测因素的重要性。本研究基于对该市成年人的 1,269 次面对面访谈得出结论，加沙的住房偏好是由文化组成部分决定的，主要是与性别、政治、宗教、亲属关系和社会关系问题相关的文化组成部分。调查结果显示，在文化成分中，亲属关系和对妇女的态度可能对个别巴勒斯坦人寻求新住房至关重要。本研究试图超越文化的宏大概念来考虑其组成部分，并将这一框架应用于不同的文化。
This article aims to ground the relations between culture and housing preferences in a developing city with empirical analysis. Based on Amos Rapoport’s framework, this study dismantles the term “culture” into different components and tests their significance as predictors of housing preferences in Gaza City. Based on 1,269 face-to-face interviews with adults in the city, this study concludes that housing preferences in Gaza are determined by components of culture, mainly those related to issues of gender, politics, religion, kinship, and social relations. The findings revealed that among cultural components, kinship relations and attitudes toward women are likely to be crucial for individual Palestinians seeking new housing. The present study is an attempt to move beyond the grand concept of culture to consider its components and to apply this framework to different cultures.
