Supervisor of Thesis: Salim, M., Ferwati. Forms, Designs and symbols are components of the built environment that communicate information about the place and its identity to users. Users discern information from their environmental settings, combined with their personal interests and perceptions. The premise of this thesis states that the identity of traditional architecture undergoes two paradoxical processes dynamic transformation and resistance to changes caused by global culture and societal modern needs. Qatar is placing a great attention on the change of urban and architectural identity by the rapid wave of urban development. This thesis attempts to define contemporary architecture in Qatar, through analyzing Qatari vernacular architecture, outside effect of global factors and to what extent Qatari architecture resists the change. To test the proposed premise, this thesis prolongs into human geography using Torsten Hagerstrand’s diffusion theory. The methodology of the thesis is structured to: revision of related literature and field analysis that contains: interviews, field observations of four chosen sites and field survey. Findings, and discussion illustrate tables and diagrams, that are anticipated to show that resistance of the local identity and the acceptance of new architectural styles lead to a new semiotic presentation of Doha region. The thesis ends up with a set of recommendations for the iii application of aspects of Qatari vernacular architecture and urban environment, in order to strengthen the local identity while taking part of the global culture. iv DEDICATION This thesis is dedicated to This thesis is dedicated to both my parents.

  • Language Ideologies, Schooling and Islam in Qatar
    Language in the Mirror: Language Ideologies, Schooling and Islam in Qatar Rehenuma Asmi Submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy under the executive committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 Rehenuma Asmi All rights reserved ABSTRACT Language in the Mirror: Language Ideologies, Schooling and Islam Rehenuma Asmi My study explores language ideologies in the capital city of Doha, Qatar, where school reform movements are placing greater emphasis on English language acquisition. Through ethnography and a revised theory of language ideologies, I argue that as languages come in greater contact in multi-lingual spaces, mediation must occur between the new and old relationships that are emerging as a result of population growth, policy changes and cross-cultural interactions. I interrogate the development concept of the “knowledge economy” as it is used to justify old and new language ideologies regarding Arabic and English. As Qataris change their education systems in response to the economic development framework of the “knowledge economy,” they are promoting language ideologies that designate English as useful for the economy and “global” citizenship and Qatari Arabic and Standard Arabic as useful for religious and cultural reasons. I argue that Standard English, through its association with the “knowledge economy,” becomes “de-localized” and branded an “international” language. This ideology presents English as a modern language free of the society in which it is embedded, to circulate around the globe. In contrast, Standard Arabic is represented as stiff, archaic language of religious traditions and Qatari Arabic is presented as the language of oral culture and ethnonationalism.

  • The State of Qatar National Physical Activity Guidelines First Edition
    The State of Qatar National Physical Activity Guidelines First Edition The State of Qatar National Physical Activity Guidelines First Edition “And your body has a right over you.” Prophet Muhammad PBUH Qatar National Physical Activity 4 Guidelines - 2014 Senior Editor Dr. Khalid Walid Al-Bibi, CETT, CHFS, CNS Director, Sport Science Professor, Health and Human Performance College of Arts and Sciences Qatar University Doha, Qatar Qatar National Physical Activity Guidelines - 2014 5 PREFACE This book was written as a practical guideline reference and not as a scientific resource. Distilled from the latest scientific evidence and driven by local realities, the intention of this book is to be an immediate and easy source of information for practitioners, physicians, educators, and individuals who wish to prescribe or engage in regular physical activity. We limited the number of beneficiary populations in the first edition of the National Physical Activity Guidelines for Qatar (NPAG-Q) to the most prevalent epidemiologies currently facing the nation. Subsequent or special e-addendums will include special populations, such as people with disabilities, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, restrictive and obstructive pulmonary disease, spinal cord injuries, asthma, multiple sclerosis, cancer patients, etc. Behavior modification cannot be considered independently from cultural norms, local sensibilities, and environmental factors. Hence, we were careful to address social and environmental factors that are unique to Qatar. Sport scientists, epidemiologists, public health experts, health promotion specialists, health care professionals, and physicians from Qatar and the world contributed to the development of these guidelines. It is our hope that Qatari citizens and residents alike will use NPAG-Q as a guiding reference as they prepare to lead more physically active lives.
