Abstract

The 1948 war resulted in a brutal and abrupt transformation of the settlement system in the territory included within the bounds of the State of Israel. Housing of jews in former Arab urban areas induced the process of transforming the pre-state colonial urban system of palestine into the urban system of the emerging nation-state. The development of former Arab settlements was directly linked to their location vis-à-vis the pre1948 Jewish settlement system. Two case studies depict different problems and development prospects for former Arab towns repopulated by jews. The first is that of the former beisan, which became the Israeli town of Bet Shean. The second is the case of former Al-Majdal, the basis of the Israeli town of Ashkelon.
