The authors researched the outdoor space in old town districts of five cities in Uzbekistan, an Islamic country in Central Asia. Two of these five cities, Khiva and Bukhara, are well-preserved and give us the impression that they are more open, with more open lots compared to other old town districts in typical Islamic cities in Arabic countries. In an attempt to confirm this, together with these cities, the researchers selected seven cities in Arabic countries and determined the area of their public open spaces such as streets, roads, and squares including parks, and calculated the ratios of the total open space areas to the total acreage of each city. Since the ratio was highest for Khiva and that for Bukhara was the third highest, and since the second highest city Shibam is quite exceptional, the authors think that this measurement can be useful in determining the openness of cities.
