Abstract
Gated communities have been spread widely in Egypt since the mid-1990s, when Egyptian specialists embraced the privatization of the land sector by selling public land to private real estate developers with social-spatial characteristics distinct from those of conventional ones. This has led to numerous advancement issues within the social and spatial textures of these modern cities. Political issues in Egypt influence the spread of Gated Communities, where the upper and middle their look for the sense of secure and reduce the fear of the ”other”. Housing developers promoted ”Physical Boundaries” geologically proximate areas with shifting social and financial conditions as a ”security for inhabitants” to extend the esteem of the range on one side of the obstruction. This has created a ”them & us” attitude between residents of gated communities and those who are left outside.
Social transformations have gotten to be a rising theme drawing the consideration to be considered, it decides the negligible social prerequisites for long term improvement, which is called basic social capital, where social capital is characterized as highlights of social organization, such as systems, standards and believe that encourage co-ordination /co-operation for common advantage. It is the stick that holds institutions together inside a society permitting them to accomplish human development, economic development, superior mental wellbeing, lower crime rates, the way we associated with people from distinctive social class, shapes our recognition of the ”other”.
This thesis initially gives a brief overview of the methodology before reviewing the findings for 408 respondents using cluster sampling, who reside in different types of gated communities along East-West axis in the greater Cairo region. This paper examines how gated urban community residents (insiders, social actors) uphold their sense of social identity. It investigates motives and social capital domains, as well as the sense of community that results from social identity theory. The principal findings suggest that social segregation affects intergroup attitudes, and this connection is believed to be a contributing factor. Residents’ sense of identity is bolstered by their strong sense of belonging to a group, which shows how homogeneous and highly valued their group is to them. Intergroup attitudes are also shaped by individual preferences, as residents tend to favor those who are similar to them and detest those they perceive to be different.
Followed by reviewing the findings for 411 respondents using cluster sampling, who resided in various locations that varied in terms of their social-spatial characteristics and the degree to which inhabitants of gated communities and open communities were segregated. This research examines the phenomenon of gated communities and how it has affected the behavioral component (generalized trust) of social capital. The main conclusions show that members of both groups—”insiders” and ”outsiders”—have both claimed to have experienced exclusion as a result of either living in or not living in a gated community, respectively. The narratives provide several points of view, demonstrating how discriminators and those who are segregated against have an impact on how ”insiders” and ”outsiders” interact with one another, which may lead to social-spatial segregation in certain areas. They also draw attention to the social division, identifying that gated communities can be a tool or mediator for social transformations and may be social revolution.
