چکیده:
According to Islamic teachings, human being moves towards perfection if conditions conducive to His/her calmness are realized
at home. According to this view, 'house' represents 'family' and a Muslim's home is regarded as Sacred and private. There is an
inherent tendency in human being towards privacy, the most important of which is realized at home. Therefore, if privacy is
trespassed at home, it may no longer serve as a home. As traditional houses have assumed a more architectural manifestation
due to religious principles (Shariah), identifying these principles and converting them into housing rules and regulations are
among the major concerns of urban planners. This study introduces, analyzes, and compares privacy and hospitality pattern in
the nomads' tents and permanent dwellings through a combined method. In this paper, some of the behavioral patterns related to
the privacy, as mentioned in Holy Quran’s verses, are introduced. The evidence also comes from religious texts showing that
nomads’, Muslims’ and Zoroastrians’ tents in Kerman have been influenced by religious beliefs. The findings of this study stress
the need for privacy and shows that there is a direct relationship between the concept of family in a culture and the scale of
privacy and territory .
