Djerba: Testimony to a settlement pattern in an island territory

This serial property is a testimony to a settlement pattern that developed on the island of Djerba around the 9th century CE amidst the semi-dry and water-scarce environment. Low‑density was its key characteristic: it involved the division of the island into neighbourhoods, clustered together, that were economically self-sustainable, connected to each other and to the religious and trading places of the island, through a complex network of roads. Resulting from a mixture of environmental, socio-cultural and economic factors, the distinctive human settlement of Djerba demonstrates the way local people adapted their lifestyle to the conditions of their water-scarce natural environment.

杰尔巴：岛屿区域定居模式的见证

该系列遗产见证了公元9世纪前后在杰尔巴岛的半干旱缺水环境中形成的定居模式。其主要特点是密度低：岛屿被划分为经济上自给自足的聚集街区，它们通过完善的道路网络互联，并与岛上的宗教和贸易场所相通。杰尔巴岛独特的人类定居模式通过展示环境、社会文化和经济因素的混合作用，阐释了当地人如何调整生活方式以适应缺水的自然环境。
