Résumé en anglais

Our case study is concentrated in the Roman city of Jerash as it could be one of the best models of studying the subject of natural and cultural settings in which it is characterized by harmonious and integrated natural and cultural settings, Jerash is a fertile context of conceptuality, ideation and innovation that could show us the intelligence of the human in dealing with his environment and how did he express his own way of thinking and belief, in addition we will see how the religious, spiritual, and mythological aspects had the greatest dominance over the whole setting in Jerash in terms of scale, open architecture, physical and visual features, and the gentleness of its placement on the landscape that finally created a united composition in the entire setting of the city.Actually, the original cultural and natural settings of Jerash began to be invaded by the modern city, therefore this study aims to identify the current threats facing the natural and cultural settings of the city, in which we made a proposal for a comprehensive treatment and curative management for the impinged new buildings and the revitalization of the disturbed natural and cultural settings of the ancient city Jerash
