“…Social values appear significantly in the course of daily life, and places with social values are defined as those that can provide a spiritual or traditional connection between the past and the present (linking past and present) [23], serving to restore history [24]. Social values also provide basic, evolving, and interdependent societal functions that form some aspects of community behavior or attitudes [24,25].…”

Cultural landscapes embody historical significance, illustrating the interplay between humankind and nature over time. These landscapes epitomize the social and cultural history of regions, vividly portraying societal characteristics, events, and activities. They express the fundamental values intrinsic to these societies, encapsulating human development, and forging a connection between populations and their historical past. Cultural landscapes enhance the local cultural character, fostering human interaction on physical, sensory, and symbolic levels. They mirror lifestyle philosophies and the ideologies behind place creation, providing a consistent representation of events and locations throughout history. A knowledge gap has been identified concerning the definition of cultural landscapes and their values that could potentially foster the development of riverfronts. This paper endeavors to bridge this gap by investigating the values of cultural landscapes across various categories and their correlation with riverfront development. The research adopts a descriptive-analytical methodology, with an extensive review of previous literature to construct a theoretical framework. The study relies on the vocabulary derived from this framework to explore the realization of these values through an examination of a section of the Shatt al-Arab riverfront in Basra city, Iraq. The research verifies the efficacy of cultural landscape value indicators in riverfront development. These include spatial values represented by context, location, and historical influence, tangible and intangible heritage values, functional values pertaining to spiritual and recreational functions, social values embodied in social integration and community participation, and aesthetic values associated with place memories, elements of natural and manufactured landscapes. Cultural values are manifested in landmarks, buildings, and cultural spaces. Cultural landscape values have been found to contribute to sustainable development, steering and revitalizing numerous cultural activities and events. This has fostered enhanced vitality, deepened the sense of identity and place values, rendered the city globally competitive, and augmented its cultural value.

PurposeThe value assessment process of the built heritage is a multipart procedure that includes diverse aspects with overlapping requirements. This process requires various measures to obtain better results, making it a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) process. In post-disaster cases, a management system is required to promptly evaluate the degree of risk and damage and to set the preservation priorities in order to effectively supervise and protect the heritage places. MCDM is utilized for configuring and solving decision and planning problems encompassing multiple criteria, to assist decision-makers.Design/methodology/approachThis paper suggests an approach as a tool to be used in the development of the Built Heritage Record for Mosul Old City. It proposes a D&C technique as an MCDM effectual tool for solving multifaceted problems of heritage significance assessment process in post-conflict cities, adopting the conservation of the traditional houses of Mosul Old City as a case study.FindingsThe research results showed the need for a method to solve the complexity of the decision-making problem regarding the process of determining the value and significance of heritage buildings and sites in the old city of Mosul, and how to develop a methodology to facilitate decision-making within databases related to such a multi-criteria issue.Research limitations/implicationsFor an effective judgment of the expert or participant in the evaluation process, and to contribute to the decision-making more objectively, exploiting digital management programs including an interactive user interface with the ability to share on the Internet is the focal next intention of the project.Originality/valueThe paper shows that by using specific software, a database for heritage places of the old city of Mosul could be generated to apply the proposed system. The expert can utilize the software to calculate and define the total value of the place automatically according to the entered data.
