Abstract
Sustainability has gained significant attention in
recent years due to the critical circumstances of
global crises. The historical city of Al-Balad has
been the center of attention given to the
conservation field aiming to preserve the city's
identity while considering its historical role, unique
buildings, the past of the city, and its people. Socio-
economic sustainability in conserving the old
district of Al-Balad is achieved through multiple
strategies including the economic opportunities
offered for the locals in terms of business
development, as well as attracting tourists,
increasing property value, and adaptive reuse. The
aim of the research is to detail the socio-economic
heritage preservation techniques and analyze the
efforts made by the Saudi government and civil
organizations to create a series of recommendations
based on the recent research and literature review to
evaluate its effectiveness in protection. The
research methodology used is a qualitative
approach, with field visits to take a closer look at
current activities and progress in the field, as w ell
as peer literature reviews and official sources. The
findings of the research show a development in the
social and economic aspects of the community as a
result of the efforts related to the conservation of the
heritage place.
