Conservation and development of historical places is a commitment that is formed under the two psychological feelings of place dependence and place attachment. Place attachment forms "need-oriented" and "place-oriented" commitment, which relies on standard and expert values, and place attachment leads to "emotion-oriented" and "human-oriented" commitment, which relies on human emotions evoked in the experience of place in time. Based on this, the article tries to describe the policies for the conservation and development of the historical place from the point of view of the person attached to the place and to discuss their difference with the expert policies based on place dependence. In order to achieve this goal, a qualitative approach, a case study strategy, a guided qualitative content analysis method and a semi-structured interview method were used from a targeted sample of people attached to the Amirchakmaq Mosque in Yazd as a well-known historical architecture. The findings show the fundamental differences between the policies and criteria for the conservation and development of the historical place in the attitude of the dependent and attached person in terms of type, priority and purpose. The attached person describes the policy and criteria of development in the direction of conservation, with the focus on human beings and their emotions, with the priority of preserving, strengthening and grounding the emotional interactions between individuals and the person with the historical place, and on the other hand, the dependent person prefers the policy and criteria of development over conservation and defines it as needs-oriented in order to meet economic needs and with the priority of the criterion of creating economic vitality, and it considers conservation apart from development centered on the capabilities of the place in order to achieve the goal of development and its criterion.
