Read more…Heritage culture and planning is a key factor in tourism and urban development that needs to be considered for the protection of urban and architectural identity, and the conservation and rehabilitation of historical buildings. The purpose of this paper is to investigate and analyse the current conditions of heritage villages in Saudi Arabia, and identify factors for the development of these urban legacies, both economically and environmentally. The study aims to identify the urban and architectural factors influencing the development of heritage villages and historical facilities in Albaha, KSA. A site visit and physical survey analysis approach was selected as the main approach in this study. Multiple heritage villages across Albaha in the southern region have been selected for inclusion in the study according to specific criteria. The analysis covered the urban design style, land use and facilities, the height and condition of buildings, the vernacular architectural style, the construction materials used, transportation, and the application of sustainable criteria. The findings indicate poor heritage conditions, and non-exploitation of these villages for economic and tourism purposes. Heritage development in Saudi Arabia has been discussed based on the outputs that support urban designers, architects and developers to conserve and restore these historical facilities. The study confirms that there are huge opportunities for investment in heritage villages in Albaha, where an economic impact can be achieved through historical facilities. |
