“…The adaptive efforts to improve the safety of historical buildings were based on the reversibility principle, which basically entails employing materials compatible with both the original and the environment, while simultaneously attempting to refrain from the modification of their original aspects or the historical phases of the buildings. The conservation works were carried out by a team of workers from the village trained to work on historical buildings and were led by experts and an architect from the Mosaic Centre in Jericho (Yahya 2010).

This paper examines what, why, and how users’ behavior can cause encroachments on historic buildings after conservation. It also introduces users’ participation in the conservation process as an approach to containing these encroachments. With this aim, this paper reviews the literature and extracts three approaches to user participation in the conservation process, which are social-benefits, economic-benefits, as well as emotional-needs. To examine the possible role of each approach in containing the negative practices by users, the youth center in Sebastia, Palestine has been analyzed as a case study in which the process of the encroachment of the users of these types of buildings and the reasons behind them have been studied. In addition to the former, this paper presents the users’ role in the deterioration of historic value and the visual appearance of the building within the short period of conservation. Based on this analysis, it was found that the encroachments have manifested in different forms, such as unsystematic interventions, sporadic neglect, and vandalism. Such intrusions on these structures are a direct result of not involving users in the conservation process. Thus, the paper discusses involving users in the former process to limit harmful practices using suitable approaches including users.

The present entry examines the underrepresented role of cultural heritage, historical narratives, and ideas of identity within the UN's 2015 SDGs, with specific reference to SDG 17. The role of cultural heritage within sustainable development is presented here both as the cause and as the solution to many of the objectives set in place within the SDGs. The present chapter uses a specific case example, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, to examine the issues causes by cultural heritage destruction, and the role that cultural heritage has in any meaningful and sustainable development in the region.
