Abstract

Historic Urban Landscape is the consequence of dynamic interrelationships between physical, ecological, and cultural factors in a causality based dynamic system. In recent years, urban development plans, inattentive to ecological and historical structures of landscape, have led to segregation of urban values. At a time of rapid urbanization, the conservation of historic cities is one of the most urgent challenges. Reviewing the principles and policies has led to a theoretical framework, based on approved approaches toward the subject for conservative planning. Planning in HUL, requires information which should be identified through scientific survey methods, regulations and principles, tools and procedures and also executive guidelines based on conservation. This research has investigated the historical and natural structure of Isfahan’s urban landscape in Iran. Analyses found improper urban development as the cause for disconnections in the HUL of Isfahan; providing effective theoretical framework that helps presenting a conservation plan for this historical city.

Highlights

  • Historic urban landscape is a consequence of dynamic interactions and interrelationships between physical, ecological, cultural and social factors in a causality based dynamic system

  • Environmental integrated conservation paradigm and its subsequent perspectives are used for planning and design of historic urban landscape in recent years

  • Unilateral approaches toward urban landscape design and planning and inattentiveness to ecological structures, as backbones of landscape’s continuity and resistance, resulted in critical circumstances for decision- makers which is known as the challenge of conservation in remnant historical and natural urban landscapes

Summary

Introduction

Historic urban landscape is a consequence of dynamic interactions and interrelationships between physical, ecological, cultural and social factors in a causality based dynamic system. Identification of environmental structures and influence of natural resources on city formation along with the detection of ecological changes has utmost importance in conservation of historic urban landscape. Urban development plans, inattentive to ecological and historical structures of landscape, have lead to segregation of urban natural and historical values.
