Abstract

Industrial heritage, encompassing both tangible and intangible evidence of industry history, holds profound cultural and historical significance. However, this heritage is often abandoned and neglected, as seen in the El Hamma district of Algiers, the capital of Algeria. The study aims to determine the priority order for the preservation of these industrial buildings, emphasizing the methods and priorities necessary to protect this invaluable heritage. The research methods involve introducing a comprehensive framework for evaluating the potential reuse of industrial heritage through a GIS-AHP methodology, assessing factors such as historical importance and architectural value. Employing the methodology of Weighted Overlay Analysis (WOA) in ArcGIS, the study categorizes sites for preservation or potential demolition, providing stakeholders with valuable insights into conservation priorities. The research results underscore the crucial importance of heritage preservation in maintaining local identity and promoting sustainable urban development. These findings highlight the need for an interdisciplinary strategy that balances economic growth with heritage conservation, ensuring the cultural and historical significance of the El Hamma district is safeguarded.

Abstract

This study is dedicated to exploring the Ksurian heritage of the Algerian Sahara, aiming to reveal the abundance and variety embedded within each ksar. Employing a comprehensive analytical approach, we meticulously examine four fundamental aspects: the urban layout, the dwellings, the materials utilized, and the construction techniques employed. To accomplish this research, extensive field visits were conducted, encompassing photography, on-site surveys, and engaging discussions with experts to gain profound insights into the distinctive characteristics of each region. Our findings unveil a remarkable and diverse heritage, exhibiting variations from one region to another, ultimately reflecting the unique traditions and capabilities of the Saharan population.
