Summary
A context-sensitive conservation approach for historical streets, balancing architectural authenticity with contemporary urban needs, is demonstrated through the renewal of Diyarbakır Gazi Street. This study identifies analytical criteria for street rehabilitation that prioritize pedestrian-oriented spatial arrangements while preserving social, cultural, and economic dynamics—key to sustaining living heritage in UNESCO-listed sites like Diyarbakır's Sur district. Methodologically, the research integrates GIS-based spatial assessments with archival analysis and literature reviews, revealing how adaptive design can harmonize historical identity with modern urban functionality.
