Abianeh : revitalization of a historical settlement : a case study
Historical settlements such as Abianeh offer many clues as to our existence and the roots from which we have been so long dependent. Understanding the workings of such settlements helps resolve a great deal of lost social, economical, cultural and indigenous skills. However, recording the values of these places has become an almost impossible task for anyone to perform. Due to their inaccessibility and lack of central government interest, control and funds, the infrastructure of such a settlement is much too gradually diminished. Encouragement of a transient society through social and financial pressures, results in migration to larger cities for the inhabitants of these settlements. This has brought with it irrevocable damage, both to the settlements in terms of ~lack of youth~, and the larger cities ~over population ~, phenomena that are not unique to Abianeh and Iran but felt by the world at large. This thesis is a practical response to such a problem, which has gradually become an international 'disease'. The work looks at the settlement as an entity in its own right and examines it very objectively so as to derive real -life solutions, which can be practically applied in a revitalisation programme.
