“…A study that was published in 2010, where people were asked to list the public spaces they enjoy being in the most shows that El Korba was among the first places listed [11, p. 56]. In another study, it was found that the locations of commercial activities were mostly concentrated near or in the buildings of the 1920s condition of Heliopolis [12], which confirms the findings shown in the 2010 study.…”

“…According to their research, this is mainly because these locations were originally designed to accommodate commercial functions and activities [12, p. 72]. In this regard, researchers have agreed that even though El Korba district is still one of the most diverse districts commercially, socially, and industrially [12], it is now in danger of actual deterioration in these fields due to the lack of consideration for the users' needs in a planned and regulated way [12, p. 69]. An example of this is shown in one study, where people were asked about the issues that the district is facing, they revealed their concern for pedestrian pavements in the present-day Heliopolis saying it needs more attention regarding maintenance [10, p. 154].…”

In heritage conservation and revival, much of the focus is placed on the techniques and methods to preserve, restore, and revive heritage structures and locations. However, less research examines how deterioration happens and effects they have on the area's character and socio-economic status. To this end, this research aims to examine the decline and its effect in the El Korba area in Heliopolis, Cairo, Egypt. El Korba was designed with a unique architectural character to stimulate social and economic life. However, the area has been on a path of physical deterioration that is corroding the social life on its streets. Previous research proposed a framework that connected six street-level façade design parameters to the social interactions on streets and sidewalks: complexity and architectural character, permeability, territoriality and personalization, enclosure, ground-floor use, and physical comfort. This research builds on this framework to study the changes in El Korba's buildings' architectural features through a diachronic analysis in Ibrahim El-Lakkani Boulevard of El Korba using descriptive analysis. Architectural features of the street level during both the original state (1906) and the current state (2021) are broken down and categorized in those six parameters to understand their decline or improvement over time.

This study employed applied thematic analysis (ATA) and importance-performance analysis (IPA) to measure visitor satisfaction in city streets. Forty-two elements that significantly influence visitors’ responses to streets and environments were included in five groups characterised by circumstances, characteristics, and indicators. Ibrahim Al-Lakani Street’s atmosphere satisfaction was measured by using coherent research methods. This investigation can assist designers in developing the morphological and social composition necessary to restore a street’s atmosphere and visitor satisfaction. This study contributes to the literature in two ways. First, it examines the relationships between street characteristics and visitor satisfaction in city streets regarding situations, atmospheres and social characteristics that shape these streets. Second, this study integrates ATA and IPA to create a tool for evaluating the significance, performance, and satisfaction of street situations, socio-morphological characteristics and street and visitor responses.
