Heritage culture and planning is a key factor in tourism and urban development that needs to be considered for the protection of urban and architectural identity, and the conservation and rehabilitation of historical buildings. The purpose of this paper is to investigate and analyse the current conditions of heritage villages in Saudi Arabia, and identify factors for the development of these urban legacies, both economically and environmentally. The study aims to identify the urban and architectural factors influencing the development of heritage villages and historical facilities in Albaha, KSA. A site visit and physical survey analysis approach was selected as the main approach in this study. Multiple heritage villages across Albaha in the southern region have been selected for inclusion in the study according to specific criteria. The analysis covered the urban design style, land use and facilities, the height and condition of buildings, the vernacular architectural style, the construction materials used, transportation, and the application of sustainable criteria. The findings indicate poor heritage conditions, and non-exploitation of these villages for economic and tourism purposes. Heritage development in Saudi Arabia has been discussed based on the outputs that support urban designers, architects and developers to conserve and restore these historical facilities. The study confirms that there are huge opportunities for investment in heritage villages in Albaha, where an economic impact can be achieved through historical facilities.
Abstract \n Environmental factors in early life can influence child development and increase its vulnerability to neurobehavioural disorders in adulthood. The relationship between the mother and her cubs plays an important role in maintaining their physical and mental balance.\nThis work investigates the effects of maternal-offspring postnatal stress on anxious and locomotor behaviour in the first place and its effect on the lipid profile of adult male rats in the second place.\nKittens (SS) were separated from their mothers for 3 hours daily from 9h to 12h from the 3rd to the 14th postnatal day (n = 8). Another group (T) did not undergo any type of stress (n = 8) was object to this study. The behavioural study was conducted using the Openfield test at D70. At D75 a decapitation was made and the collected blood was used for the biochemical study namely: cholesterolemia and triglyceridemia. \nThe results indicate that postnatal stress of 3 hours maternal separation in adult male rats resulted in a significant decrease in locomotor behaviour, an increase in anxious behaviour, and a significant disruption of the lipid profile of the adult rats
