Overview

Survey study reveals preserved physical structures lack living community functions in repurposed heritage homes, highlighting the neglect of socio-cultural and economic factors in project planning.

Key Points

  • To assess the success and appropriateness of adaptive reuse interventions in traditional residential heritage by analyzing socio-cultural, economic, and physical dimensions.
  • Administered structured questionnaire surveys to registered, practicing architects affiliated with the professional chamber in northern Cyprus.
  • Evaluated repurposed traditional houses to examine the post-conversion viability of newly assigned functions.
  • Physical structures of traditional urban houses are successfully restored and preserved through adaptive reuse interventions.
  • Repurposed buildings consistently lack vibrant living functions because socio-cultural and economic needs are omitted during the initial planning process.
