ABSTRACT

It would be difficult to find a city, which offers in as limited an area as many unique aesthetic creations, whose influence on the evolution of art and architecture, has been as great.1

Of particular significance are two issues: a) the social organization of the communities through the Afocha and the Kebele administration, b) the close urban-rural linkages, which are also significant in the Harari language […] Harar Jugol is considered to be of outstanding universal value having also exceptionally well preserved its social and physical inheritance.2
