Spcial thanks also to Mr. WILFRIED HERRICH for giving me the oportunity and the time to write this report. FOREWORD: This report is a collection of information about Nangarhar Province (Agam and Kudikhel districts) which shows the situation of thesettlement, life of the people, methods and techniques of the construction in this area. The main object of this reportis to present the traditional types of construction, the climatical, topographical conditions and the seismicity of the area. Knowing about these information will give us the opportunity to make proper designs for this area and to avoid of mistakes regarding types, size, technical problems of buildings etc. The survey data was collected on the basis of interviews and discussions with keymembers of the villages in the surveyed area. PRESENTATION OF THE SURVEY GTZ /DESP Domestic Energy Saving Project started its cross border activity in Dec. 1991. After various missions for needs assessments and negotiation, the residential building program was setup in Agam village /Khugyani District /Ningarhar province. Recently a survey team was assigned to conduct a technical mission in the projecttarget area. The survey was conducted from 26.04.92 upto 04.05.92. The main objective of the survey can be - stated as follows: 1. To study the stabilized bricks production unit in Agam. 2. To do a technical evaluation of the houses build with support of DESP. 3. To survey the traditional housing both inAgam and Kudi Khel. 4. To collect data in order to understand the seismicity of Agam and Kudi Khel. Based of these main topics, climatical conditions in both areas were also assessed. The program of the mission had been carefully prepared during a oneday preparation meeting with T.A. and S.H. in BMTRC, but time allocated to the survey was not enough compare to the work load necessary to achieve the objectives of the mission. In addition,to survey the traditional houses in regions like Agam andKudi Khel with respect to the traditional structure of Afghan society is not an easytask. To get the permission to enterinside the houses required a lot of talkwith the chief of each family. Though enough time was planned forthe completion of thereport, it wasn't possible to achieve it within duetime, because of participation in daily activities and involvement in other priority tasks. However, because of the abovementioned reasons we could not go as deep as we wanted, but it is hoped thatthis work can contribute to theobjectives of the project in a moderate way. The present report refers to thethird and fourth part of the terms of reference of the technical mission conducted in April /May 1992. -To survey the traditional housingboth in Agam and Rudi Rhel. -To collect data in order tounderstand the seismicity of Agam and RudiRhel. Note: The survey of traditionalhousing in Kudi Khel will be added later onto this document. A detailed analysis of theseismicity of Agam and Kudi Khel will bepublished separately. INTRODUCTION Nangarhar is one of the most important province of Afghanistan which is located in the eastern part of the country with an area of more than 18,000 km2. This province is surrounded in the west by Kabul province, in the north by Laghman and Kunar provinces and in the east and south Nangarhar shares a 250 km border with the Kunar, Khyber and Mohmand tribal agencies of Pakistan (NWFP). To the south is the Safid Koh mountain which reaches a height of 4,500 meters. Jalalabad is one of the fifth largest cities of Afghanistan with a population of 56000 (counted in 1979). The highway of Kabul to Peshawar is passing through this city with a length of 250 km. Most people living here are Pushtoons. The settlement in this area is composed of extended families. In Nangarhar province there is about 20 Woluswalies and Alaqadaries as follows: - Achin - Bati Kot - Behsud - Chaparhar - Dara -e -Noor - Kama - Khogyani - Dor Baba - Deh - Bela - Goshta - Hisarak - Kouz Kunar - Lalpur - Mohmandara - Nazian - Pachir -o -Agam - Sherzad - Surkh Road Reference Map 1 General Map of Afghanistan DAP4 DARWAZ U.S.S.R.

Author’s Acknowledgments This report would not have been possible without the generosity and assistance of the director of the Harmony Research Program at the Combating Terrorism Center (CTC), Don Rassler. Mr. Rassler provided me with the support and encouragement to pursue this project, and his enthusiasm for the material always helped to lighten my load. I should state here that the first tentative steps on this line of inquiry were made during my time as a student at the Program in Near Eastern Studies at Princeton University. If not for professor Şükrü Hanioğlu’s open‐minded approach to directing my MA thesis, it is unlikely that I would have embarked on this investigation of Yunus Khalis. Professor Michael Reynolds also deserves great credit for his patience with this project as a member of my thesis committee. I must also extend my utmost appreciation to my reviewers—Carr Center Fellow Michael Semple, professor David Edwards and Vahid Brown—whose insightful comments, I believe, have led to a substantially improved and more thoughtful product.
