Résumé
Parks have become very important planning require ments, since they are the closest natural spots that people can go to escape from the routine and noise of modern life. This thesis focuses on the different stages of park development in Saudi Arabia. The study starts with the Islamic principles that should impact and control park design in any Islamic community. A descriptive analysis of existing park conditions in Saudi Arabia was then given. A list of criticisms and mistakes in existing parks was given from the viewpoints of Islam, users, and professionals. Finally, the author suggests some important recommendations and practical guidelines for the different parties involved in park establishment. This conclusion was based on Islamic principles, existing errors, people’s requirements and behaviors, and the latest available data regarding park design.
