Abstract

Revitalization of historical works and buildings are of special importance as an important part of the history of culture and civilization of any society. Historical houses are facing the development of urbanization today. This development and expansion have been associated with destruction and change in historical contexts. The best way to protect abandoned and decaying buildings is to revive them and give them use, which should be done in such a way that their spiritual, material, and historical values are compatible with the new values that are given to them. In most cases, these buildings have been defined as different from their original identity during intervention for revitalization. Many small spaces of the houses have been left unused. This research is based on a qualitative and quantitative approach in terms of its practical purpose and its governing system. The researcher has used survey methods to collect information and descriptive-analytical methods to achieve the conceptual model. Interviews, questionnaires study of documents, and field surveys were the tools of research data collection. AHP and Delphi techniques have been used to analyze and infer data. The results show that in the restoration of the historical houses of the Moghadamian neighborhood in Dezful City, there is a big gap between the appropriate methods of intervention that are presented in the restoration documents and criteria and the results of the research. Also, according to experts in the field of restoration, the interventions made in historical houses for revitalization have not been at a favorable level.
