Abstract

One of the most important elements of Public space in Stone Town of Zanzibar is the Baraza. The Baraza is the place where people sit, meet, talk, and even rest. In its simplest form, the Baraza is a platform built in front of houses or in open Public spaces. Although the Baraza was brought to Stone Town from rural areas of Zanzibar in the past century, today it is a part of its identity. The main question of this research is that at the present time, given the formation of new Public spaces, as well as the development of communication and social networks, what role do Barazas play in the daily life of the inhabitants of Stone Town? Primary research data has been compiled through semi-structured interviews with residents, and secondary reports, articles and books have also been consulted. This research shows that in spite of lifestyle changes and the development of the media, the Baraza is still an essential part of the everyday life and culture of the inhabitants of Stone Town: it is regarded as an information base, a place for entertainment, a social unit, a political platform, and a religious base.
