Although the integrated conservation and development approach has a comprehensive concept, it is still exposed to the dual challenges of "conservation" and "development", which itself indicates structural weaknesses in this approach. One of the most important of these weaknesses is the neglect of communities in managing changes caused by conservation and development and the ability of the community, especially the local community, to integrate conservation and development.
Therefore, the main goal of the research is to achieve the conceptual framework of community-led conservation and development, and achieving it requires answering the question, what are the principles and effective components in the approaches of "integrated conservation and development" and "public participation"? And how can their combination be the basis for creating a single approach in urban heritage management? According to the questions raised, this article adopts a qualitative method and is structured based on previous researches and theories. The previous studies were organized and presented in the form of a conceptual framework, through the strategy of logical reasoning and by linking the identified components of the three variables "integrated conservation and development", "participatory planning" and "participatory conservation". The achievement of this research is to present a community-led conservation and development framework that includes community participation criteria under the four principles of integrated conservation and development approach. Based on this, the principles of this framework require 1- recognizing the value and semantic importance of heritage through redefining the characteristics, empowering local people and emphasizing non-specialized knowledge; 2- Adhering to the principles of managing historical cities by ensuring feasibility, local supervision and increasing responsibility in urban management; 3- Adhering to the goals of sustainable development by reducing the inequalities of social development, promoting social interactions and restoring vitality to the historical urban context, and finally 4- Resolving the conflicts of conservation and development by creating a dialogue between stakeholders, balancing policies in the decision-making framework and integrating conservation and The development will be by the needs, issues and problems of the society.
