With a variety of case studies, the contributors explore the expe- riences of female pilgrims to Mecca and other pilgrimage sites, and how these are embedded in historical and current contexts of globalisation and transnational mobility. This volume will be relevant to a broad audience of researchers across pilgrimage, gender, religious, and Islamic studies.

  • Hajj As a Case Study
    Review of Modelling and Simulating Crowds at Mass Gathering Events: Hajj as a Case Study Almoaid Owaidah1, Doina Olaru2, Mohammed Bennamoun1, Fer- dous Sohel3,1, Nazim Khan4 1Department of Computer Science and Soware Engineering, The University of Western Australia, 35 Stirling Highway, Crawley WA 6009, Australia 2Business School, The University of Western Australia, 35 Stirling Highway, Crawley WA 6009, Australia 3College of Science, Health, Engineering and Education, Murdoch University, 90 South Street, Murdoch 6150 Australia 4Department of Mathematics and Statistics, The University of Western Australia, 35 Stirling Highway, Craw- ley WA 6009, Australia Correspondence should be addressed to [email protected] Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation 22(2) 9, 2019 Doi: 10.18564/jasss.3997 Url: http://jasss.soc.surrey.ac.uk/22/2/9.html Received: 30-06-2018 Accepted: 08-03-2019 Published: 31-03-2019 Abstract: The Hajj is an Islamic pilgrimage that involves four main holy sites in Makkah, Saudi Arabia. As the number of participants (pilgrims) attending these events has been increasing over the years, challenges have arisen: overcrowding at the sites resulting in congestion, pilgrims getting lost, stampedes, injuries and even deaths. Although Hajj management authorities have employed up-to-date facilities to manage the events (e.g., state-of-the-art infrastructure and communication technologies, CCTV monitoring, live crowd analysis, time scheduling, and large well-trained police forces and scouts), there is still overcrowding and “unexpected” prob- lems that can occur at the events. These problems can be studied and mitigated by prior simulation, which allows for preparation and deployment of the most appropriate plans for crowd management at Hajj events.

  • The Role of Religion and Tradition in Garden Conservation: a Case Study
    Title: ‘The role of religion and tradition in garden conservation: A case study of Qadamgah tomb-garden, Neyshabur, Iran’ Author: Sara Mahdizadeh Source: Exegesis (2013) 2, pp. 14-23 The role of religion and tradition in garden conservation: A case study of Qadamgah tomb-garden, Neyshabur, Iran Sara Mahdizadeh Introduction After the Venice Charter of 1964, the policies, guidelines, regulations, selection criteria, theories, concepts and terminology regarding heritage conservation changed, and continue to evolve. The approach towards heritage has expanded, moving away from a focus on single important monuments to include the environments and contextual surrounding of heritage, from a static, museum-like approach to a more dynamic one.1 However, in practice, conservation works that are guided by the of ICOMOS2 charters (e.g. the Nara Document on Authenticity of 1994, Burra Charter of 19993) are more concerned with preserving the ‘material authenticity’ and the ‘original fabric’ of cultural heritage, without considering the importance of authenticity in terms of intangible/intrinsic values. Concerning architectural conservation, ‘authentic restoration’ is hard to achieve, in particular with respect to historical landscape and gardens, due to the nature of their dynamic process of change.4 This paper will set out to depict the potential role of Shi’a belief and traditions as an alternative strategy for garden conservation through the examination of Qadamgah tomb-garden as a case study. This provides a contrast to the dominant material approach to conserving cultural heritage, motivated by the economic or political inclinations of the authorities or managers of the heritage sites. Qadamgah is a physical representation of the belief of Iranians towards their eighth Imam.

I Have spent my youth in servitude to the Creator of this world, to His Apostle (may God's blessing be upon him), to the great Imams, and especially the Eighth Imam's exulted sister (may peace be upon her), whose Holy Shrine has blessed the city of Qum. As the trustee of the Shrine, all this time I have lived in the hope that one day qualified men of research and scholarship would study the Hazrat 's Shrine for features and details of its building and architecture, as well as the history of its development during different epochs, so that the scientific unveiling of many of its as-yet unknown artistic features would be available for people in this country and abroad. 13 I should point out here that in the past a number of scholars have carried out a good deal of research on the Shrine and have published several splendid books, all of which have been valuable in their own right and, no doubt, have met the approval of the Hazrat.
