Abstract
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.

Abstract
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.

Abstract
This Paper raises its main question in determining an effective paradigm shift in conservation and development of Historic Urban landscape with the aim of recognizing the evolution process of conservation and development approaches in order to define the paradigm, moving from an integrated approach towards the ideal approach. For this purpose, first the Historic Urban Landscape concept, as a new approach in conservation of urban heritage, is analyzed. After that, the role of change management concept in integrated approach of conservation and development is determined and reveals the necessity for a paradigm shift in order to fix its shortcomings. Based on this, the evolution process of conservation and development approaches is classified into two main steps, the separate approach and the integrated approach. Then, the Ideal Approach is introduced as a comprehensive approach that provides the possibility of balancing conservation and development approaches using the concept of change management and through the self-refining cultural filter of indigenous people. The proposed paradigm shift of this paper, by benefiting from the components of flexibility, dynamism and process-orienting, is formed in defining the self-refining cultural filter and paves the way for moving towards the Ideal Approach by which the conservation and development approaches would be like a single action with maximum compliance and compatibility.
