Abstract

This work primarily aims to cover and analyse the phenomenon of open spaces in residential buildings of Eastern civilization. The function of the high walls in Eastern civilization was a rounding of intimate life of the family and satisfying of the religious customs. The wall not only had a function of a separation, but it had the opposite role, the role of convergence of those who lived behind it, and it also allowed the privacy of the family. Based on the analysis, conclusion was drawn that this was the most authentic open space in the landscape, which was also the bearer of local identity. The results and research of the urban area showed that by the synthesis of the theoretical aspects of the treatment of open space and inspection of all types of premises a conclusion can be drawn that open space, as part of the tradition, goes back much further than the circles of Eastern civilizations, and enters into the sphere of the analysis area during the period of the Roman Empire.
