Summary

A study on the adaptive reuse of traditional houses in Yemen's Old City of Sana'a reveals significant improvements in both the physical structure of historic buildings and their surrounding urban areas. Despite its 2008 designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, research on this topic remains scarce. The study provides practical guidelines for adaptive reuse, aiming to preserve the cultural and social significance of these structures while enhancing their functionality. This approach offers a model for conserving architectural heritage in similar contexts.
