The Nature and Functions of Urban Jurisprudence as a Branch of Islamic Civilization Sciences

"Urban Jurisprudence" or "Construction Jurisprudence" is a collection of legal provisions, issues, and rules that directly relate to construction, urban development, and land development, including buildings and cities. It also explains legal provisions related to roads, residential areas, green spaces, commercial areas, industrial zones, and agricultural lands. In other words, Urban Jurisprudence refers to the jurisprudential examination of individual and social behaviors related to construction and urban development, and this jurisprudential examination is the application of evidence. This article, employing a descriptive-analytical method, aims to identify an overlooked aspect of Islamic jurisprudence and answer the question: What is the nature, subject, method, sources, background, and function of Urban Jurisprudence? The research findings indicate that the subject of Urban Jurisprudence is the obligatory actions at the individual and social levels in the field of construction. The methodology of Urban Jurisprudence is sometimes foundational, sometimes prescriptive, and sometimes a combination of both, requiring a more comprehensive jurisprudential framework than existing ones. Moreover, to clarify the issues and phenomena of Urban Jurisprudence, there is a need for humanities and engineering sciences. "Urban Jurisprudence," with its various subcategories, can be considered a subset of "Legal Provisions" in the traditional map of Imamite jurisprudence (acts of worship, transactions, and rulings) and in the proposed model by Martyr Sadr in public conduct.
