Living together in a contested territory is extremely difficult, and people have to suffer from complicated segregation of invisible or visible for a long time. The war and conflict between Palestine and Israel greatly harmed the quality of life of citizens, and this isolation caused great tension and distrust among them. In Palestine, an average of 8,000 people has one public space. However, due to the continuation of the war, people’s communication types and public spaces are still declining.
