TextProducer: Haifa : University of Haifa 2011Subject(s): Online resources: Abstract: The development of new religious centers is often accompanied with negative consequences on the natural and/or social environment and sometimes these lead to spatial transgression and lengthy conflict. Transgression, in the sense of going beyond accepted limits, occurs when people criticize something they judge deviant or divergent in order to strengthen their own ideological position (Cresswell, 1996). This study constitutes one component of an extensive study on new religious sites and spatial transgression in Israel. This portion is based on a case study of the Baha'i shrine and gardens in Haifa, located in the center of town, in the vicinity of populated residential neighborhoods.
