| Abstract | ||
| Cultural heritage is considered one of the major valuable resources that improve the quality of life. Therefore, protecting as well as enhancing its value through applying sustainable refurbishment process is a major challenge that needs to be properly managed. The problem is although there are a number of studies that are concerned with sustainable refurbishment, cultural heritage refurbishment management and its impact on reducing the probability of demolition remain under researched. In 2018, the UNESCO stated that 58% of the global cultural heritage buildings got demolished over the past 18 years. Moreover, in the same year, a research paper stated that there is a gap between urban development and cultural heritage conservation. Therefore, the purpose of this study is concerned with identifying the role of sustainable refurbishment management in reducing the probability of applying heritage demolishing principles that lead to facing the risk of demolition heritage buildings. In this regard, qualitative and quantities methods were used in this paper to gather secondary data (from of literature review), and preliminary data (from case studies of cultural heritage projects, and survey). Results of this paper identified the mutual relation between sustainable refurbishment principles, their relation to heritage value, and the impact of this relation on demolition principles in the form of extant literature and case studies. | ||
