“…Many similar case studies have been documented by researchers in relation to various heritage conservation projects located in Croatia, Poland, Costa Rica, the United Kingdom, Italy, Albania, the Netherlands, Ecuador, Sweden, Belgium, Romania, Iran, the Czech Republic, Jordan, and Canada [14][15][16][17][18]. These case studies located in diverse geographical contexts prove that local communities play a significant role in the success of adaptive reuse projects [19,20]. Additionally, many innovative technologies nowadays support conservative heritage interventions founded on interdisciplinary and collaborative approaches to sustainability, as suggested by Levy.…”

“…Several scholars have recommended the establishment of protocols and a framework of collaboration between ministries and governmental institutions to overcome the gap in legislation relating to built heritage [4,7,49]. A review of the literature highlights a practical knowledge gap [19,24,29,48,50,53] in assessing interventions in urban heritage reuse and evaluating the sustainable strategies adopted by private and governmental institutions. This study aims to fill the gap by providing a practical method for assessing urban heritage interventions and sustainable reuse, which can be adopted by owners, local stakeholders, and professionals in situations where the legislative framework needs to provide further guidance.…”

Saudi Arabia witnessed unprecedented urban development starting from the 1930s due to oil discovery, leading to the construction of new contemporary cities and high-tech buildings. Recently, starting from the late 1990s, an increasing feeling of esteem toward vernacular architecture and local traditions has promoted several heritage rehabilitation projects. This paper aims to assess selected urban heritage interventions to highlight the importance of sustainable approaches in heritage reuse. An assessment of sustainable reuse was conducted by adopting sustainability criteria and principles in compliance with Saudi Arabia’s national vision for 2030 (Saudi Vision 2030), which targets sustainable growth in the post-oil era. Analyses and data collection make it possible to compare four selected case studies based on materials and techniques for preservation, governmental institutions involved, the assessed methodologies of intervention, and relevant parameters (legibility, reversibility, overshadowing, alteration, replacement, and anastylosis). Results show how different institutions have adopted diverse approaches in conservative methodologies based on heritage values to provide flexibility in the reuse of buildings and adaptation to contemporary needs. Assessing the sustainable reuses of Saudi heritage can lead to a strategic change in national growth targeting social, economic, environmental, and ecologic results.

“…Currently, one of the primary challenges for historical cities is evaluating whether the measures implemented in heritage environments effectively contribute to attaining the SDGs and promoting sustainable education 89 – 91 . The lack of comprehensive methods for data analysis, the scarcity of tools that promote digital transition, and the lack of social awareness are the main problems highlighted in the literature 92 , 93 . In response to this need, the proposed method demonstrates significant potential to analyse the synergies between green areas and architectural heritage, while also promoting the implementation of effective and sustainable measures that yield greater well-being for the population and environmental improvements.…”

Urban green areas minimize the negative effects of climatic change and improve the sustainability of historic cities. Despite this, green areas have traditionally been considered a threat to heritage buildings because they cause humidity changes, that accelerate degradation processes. Within this context, this study evaluates the trends in the inclusion of green areas in historic cities and the effects it causes on humidity and conservation of earthen fortifications. To achieve this goal, vegetative and humidity information has been obtained since 1985 from Landsat satellite images. The historical series of images has been statistically analysed in Google Earth Engine to obtain maps that show the means, 25th, and 75th percentiles of the variations registered in the last 35 years. The results allow visualizing spatial patterns and plotting the seasonal and monthly variations. In the decision-making process, the proposed method allows to monitor whether the presence of vegetation is an environmental degradation agent in the nearby earthen fortifications.The analysis of the historic fortified cities of Seville and Niebla (Spain) shows a gradual increase in green areas and an interest in locating them near the earthen fortifications. The impact on the fortifications is specific to each type of vegetation and can be positive or negative. In general, the low humidity registered indicates low danger, and the presence of green areas favours drying after heavy rains. This study suggests that increasing green spaces to historic cities does not necessarily endanger the preservation of earthen fortifications. Instead, managing both heritage sites and urban green areas together can encourage outdoor cultural activities, reduce the impacts of climate change, and enhance the sustainability of historic cities.

“…With KSC filled with visitors, abandoned buildings began to be repaired and renovated in preparation for investors who wanted to open a business in Kayutangan [42]. Adapting old or abandoned buildings by applying new and suitable functions to them can be a sustainable architectural practice because reusing existing buildings can 1324 (2024) 012057 IOP Publishing doi:10.1088/1755-1315/1324/1/012057 9 reduce environmental damage while maintaining the building's authenticity during the building restoration/repair process [33], [35], [43], [44]. The intervention level made to the active old/historical buildings is different than the abandoned buildings.…”

Kayutangan was a historical Central Business District (CBD) area of Malang City since the Dutch East Indies era. However, it is slowly dying because of the emergence of new shopping centers and CBD in Malang. To strengthen the branding of Malang as a Heritage City, the government is revitalizing Kayutangan, which has been dormant before. Therefore, this research investigates how historical public space revitalization and community activity contribute to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This research uses the descriptive qualitative method using case study that examines the community activities using place-centered mapping and changes made by the revitalization effort. There are three new activities emerges in KSC; social, economic, and cultural activities. The research results show that the revitalization of Kayutangan Street Corridor (KSC) and the emergence and collaboration of social, economic, and cultural activities successfully revitalized KSC in sustainable ways. Seventeen new activities are emerging; 70.6% are the emergence of economic activities, and the remaining 29.4% are cultural activities. The emergence of these activities resulted in thirteen activity-enlivening spots, 61.5% caused by economic activities and 38.5% driven by cultural activities. The economic and cultural activities succeeded in attracting social activities. Crowded with visitors and its strategic location increases investors’ interest in opening a business in KSC that contributes to the existing building’s preservation and Kayutangan and Malang City’s economy. The government facilitates the music groups to perform on-site as one of the district’s attractions. The result of KSC’s development suggests that the revitalization can contribute to three goals of SDGs on good health and well-being, decent work and economic growth, and sustainable cities and communities.
