Sommario/riassunto

With the rare researches that focus on the cross-cultural aspects, this book tends to investigate how Arab immigrants construct and use landscape and public space in Berlin as a host city. The approach of social constructivist landscape research is chosen to highlight the effects of past and present in their experiences, including the effect of home and childhood period, social and cultural background, previous and current migration experiences including the level of integration



and patterns of settlements, the importance of networking including the sense of community and groups and shared interests, as well as place attachment, and hybridization. Biographical semi-structured interviews with 72 Arab immigrants in Berlin were conducted, in addition to both participant and site observation. About the author Mohammed Al-Khanbashi is a scientific assistant at Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen, Institute of Geography, Urban and Regional Development (Active in research and teaching).His scientific focus is on social constructivist landscape research, migration and landscape.
