Abstract

As cultural heritage, industrial buildings are prone to various changes and transformations to the extent that they are practically susceptible to complete destruction. Accordingly, such spaces which should be considered lively places have unfortunately turned into the symbols of urban disorder. Furthermore, an industrial heritage covers social, economic, and cultural values. Therefore, dealing with them has its specific significance which makes it necessary to take a particular approach for dealing with each of them regarding their specific condition and values. As the first cement factory in Iran, Shahr-e Rey cement factory is not only a valuable construction in terms of its architecture and antiquity, but it is also a symbol of valuable transformation emerging in Pahlavi I architecture. Besides, considering it as an industrial building adds even more significant value to this structure. In the past couple of years, because the factory has been shut down and it does not have an industrial use any more, the factory has been forgotten and has been transformed into a desserted location. As such, this paper adopted qualitative research methods as a basis for data collection and analysis, which primarily involved the use of content analysis along with field observations and interviews with stakeholders and indigenous residents. By reviewing and analyzing international conventions and documents, and expert opinions, the present study, therefore, strived to find out how to conserve the value of the industrial heritage. The necessity of transmitting working and activity morale as well as the industrial style belonging to the cement factory of Shahr-e-Rey increases the importance of maintaining the building. Thus, injecting dynamism, liveliness and vigor into the mentioned construction and preserving its character simultaneously is possible through an emphasis on conservation of particular values and adaptive reuse of the cement factory.

Abstract

Following the increase of population and expansion of cities and villages, and the reasons of the great changes in human life (industrial revolution, communication, etc.), and the desire to visit historical sites for research, tourism, etc., the need Adapting the function of existing historic spaces to new technologies and careful management is essential. Lack of coordination between the number and demands of visitors and local communities around and how to manage historic areas, has led to one of two unsuccessful phenomena of museum preservation or accelerated and unstable development, in most interventions. This is especially true in historical sites and archeological sites. Complementary or disagreement between development and preservation of historical heritage is one of the controversial issues in historical countries. Moreover, Historical sites touched of intervention from irregular developments within ruined phenomenon. Freezing the bounds without presentation of practicable solution of life continuance, is also the cause of happening the earliest dead of them. The purpose of this investigation is a struggle for explaining the importance of preservation and development in historical sites and the way they relate to each other. We can achieve the purpose by answering to these two questions: How can we establish a complementary connection between preservation and development in historical sites? How sustainable development can act as an effective instrument in preservation of historical sites?
Firstly this investigation has been conducted based on a qualitative approach and historical interpretation strategy, according to studying and researching into theories and charters about preservation, development and historical sites. Then, studying the concepts, purposes, methods and the kinds of preservation, development and relation between them in historical sites, and try to prove that. Which will be achieved by proper communication and their simultaneous advancement in line with a common goal, and by careful management of change; By emphasizing the role of local communities in the protection of historic sites, sustainable development of the site and the local community through careful and integrated management and development of creative tourism, and thus the protection of the historic site will become a continuum. In historical sites where the flow of life is no longer current, by adapting conservation goals and sustainable development goals and taking help from the internal potentials that each site has in or around itself and respecting the social, cultural and environmental contexts of each work by using With the participation of local people, the design (actions and interventions) of the site can be done in such a way that by managing changes, development is protection-oriented and in line with the goals of sustainable, endogenous and balanced development.
