Algerian neighborhoods with high degree of social solidarity
Lhouma is a term used in North Africa, to refer to a neighbourhood / quarter characterised by strong social relations between residents and the space in which they live and practice their daily life.[1][2]
Lhouma has been in the centre of several sociologist studies, due to its importance in shaping and showcasing the lifestyle of Algerians[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]
It is equivalent to the contemporary concepts of sustainable community and socially sustainable neighbourhood that are based on local socio-cultural practices.[11] It is a socio-spatial product defined by the fact of living, playing and socialising in a shared built environment, which in turn groups local residents around a common identity of belonging to the same of area of living.
Hence, Lhouma is not used to refer to any typical neighbourhood or area of living that only houses people, but it indicates an urban area in which frequent social use of space emanates high degree of social cohesion, solidarity, trust, intricate social ties, place attachment and sense of belonging.[12]
