| dc.description.abstract | Conservation of urban heritage is a ‘value’ based approach and scholars in the fields of conservation and developers have been aware of such values including the socio-cultural as well as economic values. The objective of this paper is to study the urban heritage located in the center of Addis Ababa, specifically in Leghare area that has become the subject of intervention due to the values of the place. It specifically aims at the change, propose a tool for assessing and mitigating these changes and achieve a common ground where the development of the city won’t affect the existence of urban heritage and where the conservation of such places contributes to the growth of the city. The general methodology used for this research is a case study method focusing on pattern matching and triangulation techniques. It employes the assessment of change by analyzing the Heritage value and relies on the interrelation between intervention approaches of the socio-cultural and economic values of heritage places using primary and secondary data sources. The primary data is collected by direct observation and interviewing and the secondary data is extracted from different published documents, archival records, photographs, written reports on events and formal studies. Based on the data gathered and analysed this paper finds that the urban heritage of Leghare is faced with destructive intervention and is subjected to deterioration in need of immediate conservation and integration measures. Based on the findings, the paper concludes that, there is a strong mutualism between the socio cultural values of urban heritage and the development of urban places in the city. Therefore, it is recommended to provide a participatory approach between conserving the core urban heritage values for the sustainable socio-cultural and economic development of the city. | |
