| Summary/Abstract |
This article examines the relationship between state and society in the Ottoman Empire during the 17th and 18th centuries by examining concepts and practices of privacy. Fatwas of Ottoman jurists reveal certain principles ordering the division of urban areas into public and private spaces. The article explores their application during the rebuilding of Damascus after its devastation by an earthquake in 1759. Archival sources disclose the priorities that guided the state in reconstructing a ruined provincial capital: religious values; a concern for the inhabitants' well-being; and, rather prominently, an intent to maintain a dichotomy between public and private. In this the Ottomans were different from their contemporary European counterparts, who often took advantage of major disasters to reshape relations between rulers and subjects. This divergence is demonstrated in this article by comparing post-1759 Damascus with London after the Great Fire of 1666 and Lisbon after the 1755 earthquake.

The recent land use policy ol' "landing the l')eere;tse in Rural ('onxtrttelion Land with the Increase in L.'rh:tn ("onxtruetion l.and" i.\ an attempt of the government to address the tensions between protecting arable land and providing land lior construction by means of more intensive use of land. Nevertheless. the implementation ol" the policy has triggered notch controversy. in particular about predominant dependence upon retrial residential land totes consolidation and the pursuits of rural~ urban construction land quota transfer. Although local governments often take the blame for these issues. the case study of the comprehensive land consolidation project in Gull reveals the type of dilemma with which they are confronted. [t is shown that the potential for land consolidation is limited. whereby local governments have to turn to rural residential land consolidation to achieve the targets set by the central government for land consolidation. Furthennorc. the displacement and resettlement of rural dwellers puts tremendous financial pressure upon the local government. and it would be impossible to implement the central government mandate to build a new socialist countryside without selling land at a higher price. This article discusses the possibilities for a market-led land consolidation process and concludes that the targets of land consolidation and the implementation of the linking policy should \-'ar_v from region to region to match local levels of economic development and specifieities of the rural economy.

| Summary/Abstract |
One paradoxical reality of reform-era China is that the right to the city does not necessarily go to those who have already moved to the city.By employing the perspective of urban accumulation regime and taking Shanghai, the most populous city in the world's most populous country, as a case study, this paper elucidates how urban citizenship can be granted and explores the underlying rationale. The paper argues that the right to the Chinese city, which emphasizes eligibility rather than entitlement, has become part of the broader project of entrepreneurial city building.
