Summary
Reconstruction projects at historic sites, such as Jameh Mosque Street in Yazd, Iran, require tailored social impact assessments (SIAs) to balance heritage preservation with development. This study identifies key indicators for SIA in historic contexts, revealing that factors like cultural importance and feasibility differ significantly from those in new urban areas. Using analytic hierarchy process (AHP), descriptive statistics, and focus group methodology, researchers prioritized project impacts based on stakeholder consent and operational efficiency. The findings propose an improved SIA framework for heritage sites, ensuring sustainable development while preserving cultural value.
