Résumé

Summary: Little is known about the genesis and the spacial structure of the settlements in Inner-Oman, South-east Arabia. The present paper describes the situation of the settlements and oases in the central region of Inner-Oman by means of three case studies. The older oases and their villages show a more irregular spatial pattern than the younger ones, owing to the social-tribal structures of the settlers, their religious customs and the existing water laws. The existence of all oases in Inner-Oman depends upon an underground watercollecting-system, the so-called Falaj, which has been common throughout Inner-Oman since several centuries.
On the Ḥārithī-oases al-Darīz, al-Qābil and al-ʿIzz; the Ḥajariyyūn-oases al-Mintirib, al-Ghabbī, Jāḥis, Shāhiq and Hawayah (Ḥawiyya).
