The object of this research is the exploration of the effects of planning regulations on house form and privacy in low-density single-family dwellings (villas) in the context of Saudi Arabian cities. The research explores two main issues: firstly, the importance and the effects of privacy violation between neighbouring villas through overlooking on their residents' behaviour and use of house spaces; and secondly, to investigate the residents' preferred house form. To assess these two issues practically, seven suburbs from three different cities, representing large (Riyadh), medium (Tabuk) and small (Haqil) urban centres in Saudi Arabia were selected for carrying out a questionnaire survey. The selection of these suburbs was intended to represent, as far as possible, the different social groups in Saudi Arabian society. The population of the survey was the villa residents in these suburbs, who were asked questions regarding their use of house yards and windows, and tested on their awareness of planning regulations, and the effects of these regulations on house form and degree of privacy. The respondents were also asked about their preferred house form. The results indicated that privacy is considered an important issue by residents, and the effects of privacy violation, through neighbours overlooking each others' houses, were very clearly seen on the residents' reduced use of overlooked yards, compared to those not overlooked, as well as through the construction of extra fences to block overlooking from neighbouring houses. Although the residents showed a high degree of awareness about the effects of the villa house form on the high degree of overlooking, they showed a far greater preference for living in villas rather than attached courtyard house forms. The final conclusion of the research demonstrates the failure of the present planning regulations to promote an acceptable house form that allows for a reasonably sufficient degree of privacy protection. While some research and housing schemes have promoted house forms different from that of the villa, these have proved to be unacceptable and were rejected by residents. The recommendation of the current research is that efforts to find a solution to the problem should instead focus upon means to reduce the effects or degree of privacy violation between neighbouring houses, while maintaining the popular house form of the villa.

In 2019, three coins were found in the same stratum in a large Roman villa called the Villa of Titus, which was constructed between the late first century BC to the early first century AD. Two of the coins are bronze asses and one is a copper quadrans, all of which were struck under the emperor Claudius and range in date from AD 41-54. This thesis, through the use of methodologies, determines as much information as possible about the coins and the stratum within which they were found in order to learn more about the villa’s past. In the first chapter, the main methodologies that are used to examine the coins and context will be examined in detail, which include iconographic, epigraphic and archaeological analyses. The second chapter uses iconographic analysis, along with epigraphic analysis, to examine the coins found at the Villa of Titus. First, there is an overview of the Roman mint and imperial coinage with a focus on Claudius’ coinage; since, all three coins are struck under Claudius. Then, a synopsis of Claudius’ iconography on all of his coinage is used to determine where the villa coins fit in his iconography. The historical context is also surveyed in order to determine why certain images were chosen for the coins. In the third chapter, the archaeological context in which the coins were found is examined. First, two case studies on coins in the archaeological context are studied to determine how coins are interpreted differently depending on the context in which they are found. Then, the methodologies from these examples are used to analyse the Villa of Titus context, which includes taking a detailed look at the materials found in the stratum, determining the function, determining the depositional process and finally describing the interpretation of the stratum. / Thesis / Master of Arts (MA)
