Ghazzal, Zouhair, 'Shared Social and Juridical Meanings as Observed in an Aleppo ‘Marginal’ Neighborhood', in Myriam Ababsa, Baudouin Dupret, and Eric Dennis (eds), Popular Housing and Urban Land Tenure in the Middle East: Case Studies from Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, and Turkey (Cairo , 2012; online edn, Cairo Scholarship Online, 24 Jan. 2013), https://doi.org/10.5743/cairo/9789774165405.003.0008, accessed 25 Apr. 2025.
Abstract
This chapter details the various aspects of urban informality and methods of property registration in informal settlements in Aleppo, as well as the tribal codes that govern social relations in these neighborhoods. It describes how, by making a false declaration of breach of contract in court, the parties officially set out the details of a plot and the names of its owners. The author carries out a micro-sociological study of working-class neighborhoods in Aleppo in order to show that their residents handle crimes and homicides themselves, following customary tribal law, before referring cases to the police.
