“…They found that a more efficient energy system, in which nuclear and renewable technologies produce 70% of electricity in 2032, could be realized if fuel prices are deregulated. Groissböck and Pickl (2018), on the other hand, examined the future energy mix in Saudi Arabia under different fuel-price scenarios and concluded that certain scenarios could result in renewables satisfying nearly a third of energy needs by 2030. Finally, Matar and Shabaneh (2020) examined the viability of importing and/or storing gas in the Kingdom and how this would affect future power generation builds.…”

“…This result should caution policymakers and investors against immediately assuming that the storage-PV symbiosis is the best or most natural route without considering the load profile, flexibility of available generation, and better interconnection potential in a given scenario.

“…Protecting and conserving the historical buildings within the heritage is one of the responsibilities in sustainable development and saves the local traditions for the future in ways that can be managed and invested in tourism purposes (Gravari-Barbas 2018, Su, Bramwell et al 2018). The Albaha region is characterized as having its own unique environment compared with other regions of Saudi Arabia (Al-Robai, Mohamed et al 2017, Groissböck andPickl 2018). In general, a hot climatic environment is typical of Saudi Arabia, where shading strategies and efficient construction materials must be used for minimising heat transference.…”

This paper investigates and analyses the redesigning of a heritage village in the southern region of Saudi Arabia to determine the impact of sustainable design strategies and green open spaces for the village rehabilitation. Heritage village development is an important step to consider for sustainable urban planning and design due to its influence in urban development, the local economy, and historical conservation. Al-Qahad heritage village has been selected as the case study due to its involvement with different historical domestic buildings, military castles, and mosques and its location on the main highway between Albaha and other regions. Furthermore, this heritage village reflects in its urban identity the local environment, social culture, and local construction materials and vernacular architecture. The applied approach involved visiting Al-Qahad heritage village for (a) analysis of the site and environmental conditions, (b) mobility survey analysis, and (c) the application of urban sustainable design strategies for redesigning Al-Qahad heritage village. The site visit included a physical survey to determine the current condition of buildings regarding heights, conditions, land use, and construction materials used. The output of the study is to redesign the heritage village including suggesting some other urban facilities, such as a museum, hotel, and other social activities to attract visitors and rehabilitate the village. The study highlights the importance of many urban sustainable design strategies that can be applied in other heritage villages in Saudi Arabia to protect and conserve the historical buildings and invest in these facilities for tourism purposes. Saudi Arabia is a nation rich with heritage villages, which are found across the country especially in the southern region. The study concludes by offering several recommendations for developers and investors.
