Baqa ash-Sharqiyya ((アラビア語:باقه الشرقية)) is a Palestinian town in the northern West Bank, located northeast of Tulkarm in the Tulkarm Governorate. According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS), the town had a population of 4,101 inhabitants in 2007.〔(2007 PCBS census ). Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS). p. 107.〕 Refugees made up 20.4% of the Baqa ash-Sharqiyya's population in 1997.〔(Palestinian Population by Locality and Refugee Status ) Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics〕 Approximately to the west, on the other side of the Green Line, lies Baqa al-Gharbiyye, ("the western bouquet of flowers") which is under Israeli jurisdiction. Both towns were originally one town, known as Baqa, until the aftermath of the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. Prior to the Second Intifada, Baqa ash-Sharqiyya consisted of 4,000 dunams; Israel confiscated about 2,000 dunams of land in order to build the Israeli West Bank barrier.〔(Baqa Al Sharqia: A Palestinian village isolated by the Segregation Wall ) Land Research Center. 13 August 2003.〕 ==History== Baqa ash-Sharqiyya is situated at an ancient site. During early Ottoman rule, in 1596, Baqa ash-Sharqiyya was located in the ''nahiya'' of Qaqun in the Sanjak of Nablus. It had a population of 35 households, and paid taxes on wheat, barley, summer crops, olives, goats and/or bees, and a press for olives or grapes.〔al-Salim, Farid. (Landed Property and Elite Conflict in Ottoman Tulkarm ). ''Jerusalem Quarterly''. Autumn 2011.〕〔Hütteroth and Abdulfattah, 1977, p. 159〕 In 1882 the Palestine Exploration Fund's ''Survey of Western Palestine'' described Baqa as "a very small hamlet on high ground, with olives. It has a well to the south and a little ''Mukam'' (Muslim tomb) to the north; scattered olives surround it, and there are two or three palms close by. A few houses stand separate, on the south east, near a second Mukam, called Abu Nar ("Father of Fire")."〔Conder and Kitchener, 1882, SWP II, p. (152 )〕 A stone with Arabic inscriptions located over the entrance of the old village mosque could be the beginning of an endowment (''waqf'') text.〔Sharon, 1999, (p.88 ).〕 In the 1922 census of Palestine conducted by the British Mandate authorities, Baqa Sharkiyeh had a population of 269, all Muslims,〔Barron, 1923, Table IX, Sub-district of Tulkarem, p. ( 27 )〕 increasing by the 1931 census to 330, still all Muslim, in 67 houses.〔Mills, 1932, p. (53 )〕 In 1945 the population of Baqa ash-Sharqiyya consisted of 480 Arabs with a land area of 3,986 dunams, according to an official land and population survey.〔Government of Palestine, Department of Statistics. ''Village Statistics, April, 1945.'' Quoted in Hadawi, 1970, p. (74 )〕 Of this, 173 dunams were designated for plantations and irrigable land, 2,870 for cereals,〔Government of Palestine, Department of Statistics. ''Village Statistics, April, 1945.'' Quoted in Hadawi, 1970, p. (124 )〕 while 14 dunams were built-up areas.〔Government of Palestine, Department of Statistics. ''Village Statistics, April, 1945.'' Quoted in Hadawi, 1970, p. (174 )〕 As part of the 1949 armistice agreements following the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, King Abdullah of Jordan ceded the captured Wadi Ara region to Israel in exchange for land near Hebron. This resulted in Baqa al-Gharbiyye falling on the western side of the Green Line, separated from its eastern counterpart, Baqa ash Sharqiyya. The separated towns still have close social and economic ties, however this has been reduced due to the completion of the West Bank barrier around the "Baqa enclave" of the Seam Zone.〔(Profile: Baqa Sharqiya Enclave & Qafin ) UNRWA〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Baqa ash-Sharqiyya」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
