| Abstract | ||
| Heritage villages are a national wealth because of the cultural, historical, economic and social values they carry, which can be considered a human memory or a witness to a distinguished era in the life of any village. Especially in the tourism industry because of the economic returns it achieves. However, this cultural heritage is exposed to many human and natural factors and other factors that contribute to its deterioration. The problem of the research is that the rehabilitation policies of heritage villages are one of the effective methods of preserving cultural heritage. Despite this, many of the experiences of preserving heritage villages lack a holistic view of conservation and sustainable development, as these programs focus on the restoration and maintenance of the physical urban structure without highlighting Social and economic values and environmental considerations. As a result, many of the heritage resources in the countryside are suffering from deterioration, rather they are depleting many sources of funding without achieving economic returns that positively reflect on the villagers or contribute to achieving sustainable rural development, whose modern concept must expand to include achieving social, economic and environmental balance, along with along with preserving heritage and cultural values without maximizing one side at the expense of the other. The research paper aims to shed light on the evaluation of the experience of reviving and rehabilitating models of heritage villages registered on the World Heritage List, to examine the possibility of benefiting from them as a guiding model for the sustainable development of heritage villages. | ||
