Fareeda (Um Qarawi)

Fareeda (Um Qarawi) spoke about the need for community-based economic security infrastructures (spatial and social), and emphasized that Ein Qiniya’s agricultural production along its two wadis:* Wadi alDilb and Wadi alOqdeh is an asset that should be maintained and improved. She wishes to see the village expand and have multiple centers, while maintaining its regional characteristics, whereby constructions should follow regulations for agricultural housing and establishments (small scale houses, cultivated gardens and orchards, no multistory residential buildings). Um Qarawi imagined creating a fenced residential compound with her children and their families on land close to the village’s entrance. She wished to expand the school, and have a services center, a police station, two additional mosques, a café for women,** a circus and an entertainment park, cycling paths, playgrounds, public transportation, among other spatial ideas aimed at improving connectivity and life quality in Ein Qiniya.

* Wadi alDilb and Wadi alOqdeh are seasonal water streams. Before the topography of the area and watershed systems were altered, and before climate change impacts increased, the water of the Wadis was more abundant, flowed over a longer period, contributed to the region’s agricultural productivity, and unlike today, the water was clean.

** There is a café for men, during the research period we used it several times to conduct workshops.
