Abstract

The importance of walkability as a desirable design ‘outcome’ is well established. This research, attempting to create a link between walkability, contextualism, and urban heritage conservation, sees this concept also as a significant ‘means’ of design. Literature reviews were conducted to highlight the necessity of this stance. A conceptual framework suggesting a method for contextually implementing walkability in heritage conservation was developed and tested in the case study of Shahidgah, a historic district in Ardabil. Results indicate that utilising contextual features of place while implementing walkability in historical areas contribute not only to walkability enhancement but also to heritage conservation.
