“…The extension of the Vertical structure and changes of the staircase location of unbalanced levels, It is evident that these changes were implemented without following; professional measurements standards, building structure capacity, limitations of electrical and plumbing services installations. The researcher introduced a new conservation checklist for the building condition from the previous studies (Chuan & Deguchi, 2011) (Feilden, 2003 (Langston & Shen, 2007) (Wahren, 1993-94) (Varanda, 1998) and the current by on-site observations of the building defects (Table3).

The study aims to identify the existing practices of adaptive reuse of Sana'a heritage tower houses and their application to the new building use and interventions on the original fabric. A case study on Dawood Hotel was undertaken with the following instruments: 1) Structured interviews with the Building Authorities; 2) On-site observations of the building conditions; 3) Literature search on the previous conservation projects reports. The finding suggests improvements on conservation practices by highlighting the discrepancies of the existing heritage building control procedures and requirements. It facilitates the local building authorities to formulate new systematic and transparent conservation guidelines.

“…According to Chua and Deguchi (2011), the adaptive reuse of old buildings can revitalize the whole neighborhoods, prevent crime and increase the security of the local community. Further an essential social impact of adaptive reuse is the creation of social dynamism of the area (Mısırlısoy and Günçe, 2016).…”

“…Scholars also have a critical view regarding the social impact of adaptive reuse of old buildings. First, with adaptive reuse the uniqueness of heritage of old buildings is lost due to modern uses (Chua and Deguchi, 2011). Second, the new adaptive reuse of old buildings can increase the traffic and can create parking shortages in the surrounding area (Chua and Deguchi, 2011; Hulsey, 2012).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to study the sustainable impact of adaptive reuse of shopping malls built during communism in Kosovo. Design/methodology/approach The present study uses qualitative research using semi-structured interviews with architects, civil engineers, real estate developers and facility managers. Findings The study found that it is the predominant opinion of respondents that the economic impact of adaptive reuse of old shopping malls in Kosovo is reflected through extension of useful life of the malls, lower cost of reuse vs demolition, economic and tourism development of the neighborhood, job creation and increase of property prices in the surrounding area. In addition, the study found that it is the predominant opinion of respondents that by adaptive reuse of old shopping malls, the revitalization and social dynamism of the surrounding area will be improved and collective memory and identity of these shopping malls will be extended, including the increased traffic, space utilization and security. The study concludes that operational CO2 emission of the old shopping malls will be reduced after their sustainable adaptation and also the embodied energy of the building materials will be reused. Research limitations/implications The study has several implications. For real estate developers, it shows that is less costly to adapt and refurbish rather than redevelop. For authorities, it shows that by adapting old communist shopping malls, they would extend the collective memory of those locations, improve the social life and utilization of public spaces in the surrounding areas. The final implication is for municipal authorities and environmentalists that but allowing adaptation rather than demolition and redevelopment the embodied CO2 emission will be significantly reduced. Originality/value The study is the first qualitative study about the impact of adaptive reuse of old communist style commercial centers in Kosovo.
