<p>The objective of this paper is to clarify the pattern of block formation, segregation, housing types and their transformation, based on the clinical survey of the Kuttichira district in Kozhikode, India, as part of the research project entitled “Study on the formation and transformation of port cities in the Indian Ocean”. Calicut is a well-known port city inhabited by various foreign merchants, where trade goods carried by dhow ships from Arabia and those carried by junk ships from China are transshipped. Kuttichira is the district where Mappila Muslims, who formed the first Muslim community in South Asia, live.</p>
