ABSTRACT

The research focuses on the importance of the rehabilitation of the urban fabric in urban conservation projects in order to achieve architectural and urban integration with restoration projects. This is especially true in areas that suffer from a change of identity and instability of aesthetic values due to encroachments on the heritage environment of historic buildings as a result of new transportation needs and changes in the social and cultural structure. Based on the analytical approach to the most important urban issues of the heritage perimeter of the heritage buildings in the current situation in Fuwah city and the identification of the heritage perimeter of the heritage building and dilapidated areas through field lifting by observation and photography and comparing them with the plans of the General Authority for Urban Planning (General Structural Plan for Fuwah city), the research aims to develop a plan to integrate the development of the urban fabric with conservation projects by proposing movement axes in the form of a tourist tour to preserve the general character and unified visual qualities. The research identifies a proposal to preserve the perimeter of heritage buildings by merging separate groups of heritage buildings, each with a different urban space with a single axis of movement not interspersed with vehicular traffic, rehabilitation of social and service infrastructure by separating vehicular traffic, proposing pedestrian movement axes, and urban mobilization to improve open spaces to reuse them as gathering areas and tourist services.
