It highlights how traditional practices and spatial perceptions are adapted within new environments post-migration, and discusses the transformations in livelihood, community dynamics, and architectural forms that emerge due to various socio-economic influences. The adaptive mechanisms and resultant conflicts between traditional and new worlds are also examined.
